1 – 200 of 307 Newer› Newest»OOOOO so pretty. My favorite Holiday tradition is chili and cinnamon rolls on Christmas Eve. My dad and his family did it for year and my family still does. Even all of use grown up kids do it when we can't be at my parents for Christmas. It's so cool knowing my whole family is eating the same thing on Christmas Eve even if we aren't together.
My favorite holiday tradition is decorating gingerbread houses with my daughter!
My favorite holiday tradition is picking out the tree and then bringing it home and decorating the same night. It doesn't feel like Christmas at home until the tree is up and decorated.
Such pretty fabric, and I reckon that book would be very handy to have around! Mt favorite tradition is Christmas lunch with my family, my mum is the best cook and everyone is so happy and full of love!
A lovely and generous giveaway, thank you! My favourite Christmas tradition is spending Christmas Eve with my family. I love it so much!
Hi, thinking about Christmas I like the fact that I can spend some time with all the family. Nowadays it's so hard to slow down and sit together for a while. I guess the Chrismats time just reminds me what's the most important for me and what should I take care the most. Cheers!
I lurve that fabric!! Thanks for the chance to win some....
Ok favorite holiday tradition pffff I'm trying to come up with my own traditions since all my family's moved away and we can't spend christmas together anymore so it's all an experiment to me lol! My favorite would be buying a new ornament for my son each year.
My favorite tradition is the tree: we go out, as a family, and tag a tree on Thanksgiving weekend, then go out again the weekend before Xmas to cut it down and bring it home. There are few farms that let people tag these days, but the selection of the tree is my favorite part!
My favourite holiday tradition is trimming the tree with the kids. I love how excited they get!
I will try my luck :) Thanks for th giveaway! My favourite christmas tradidtion was going to my grandma - same liek the rest of a huge family - and spend christmas eve there. With everybody :)
I also have a giveaway on my blog if you like to visit :)

My favourite Christmas tradition actually comes after Christmas. I married into a South Louisiana/Spanish expat family and though Noche Buena and Christmas with them is always fun, I love Twelfth Night. It's usually the only part of the holidays my husband and I have together. We spend the day together, making King Cake and taking down the Christmas decorations while celebrate surviving the holidays with champagne.
My favorite holiday tradition is our church service by candlelight on Christmas Eve. I love getting dressed up and singing all my favorite Christmas songs with my family!
I forgot my holiday tradition. The all time favorite for probably most people is making cookies.
Our favourite holiday tradition is that my son and I spend Christmas day with my in-laws. We have done this since my husband died 24 years ago.
Your shop is adorable! My favorite holiday tradition is getting a group of friends together to go see The Christmas Revels in Cambridge, MA. So joyous!
we always act out the nativity on christmas eve.
Current favorite tradition: our Christmas Eve neighborhood potluck dinner. And we line all the streets with luminaria (luminarias? luminariae?). Happy holidays!
My favorite tradition is corn chowder on Christmas Eve. My mom would start it in the crockpot and the house would smell SO good all day- We'd drive around to look at Christmas lights and then come home and warm up with delicious chowder. Now I make it at my house. Yum!
Our favorite tradition is hands down tree decorating night. We put on Christmas music, break out the snacks and eggnog and just have a great time of it. And each year my kids get a new ornament that represents the past year in some way.
My favorite tradition is to visit my parents. We just don't see enough of them!
We love stirring the Christmas pudding and making a wish!
my favorite is caravaning to all of my friends "at homes"
I LOVE those fabrics! Tina Givens is a fave of mine.
For me, decorating the tree has always been my favorite tradition. I love making ornaments and receiving handmade ornaments from friends. Displaying them is a special way to remember them every year.
hugs & happy holidays,
Heidi

Found you through Sew Mama Sew and my fave family tradition is the running around!! My parents have been divorced forever so there's plenty of running to do- we used to 4 turkey dinners in 2 days, we've slowed down a bit now that us kids are getting married and having kids of our own. Will is be so crazy for my kids? Probably not but hopefully they'll love it as kids!
We've been doing advent activities as a family for the past 5 years. It's new, but I really love it. I get to have all three girls together and happy!
Lovely fabric! Thanks for the chance to win? My favorite holiday tradition is getting together with family and sharing stories from Christmas' past.

My favorite holiday tradition is making Christmas candies! We make bags for all our friends, coworkers, and neighbors. It's a lot of work, but it opens the door for a lot of together time.

My husband and I will be celebrating our 3rd Christmas. We don't have any traditions at Christmas itself, however, any time we go on a vacation or special day trip it requires bringing home an "ornament" for the tree. This has made us get creative since not every place has a gift shop or an ornament!
Visiting family out of state.
We went caroling every Christmas Eve growing up.
rebekahricker at yahoo dot com
Opening one present on Christmas eve :)
My favourite holiday tradtion is going to my sister-in-law's house on Christmas eve where the whole extended family has stockings and we just enjoy time together.
mmmm.....best thing is to wake up early before everyone and hide a little present for the family under the christmas tree.....make some yummy breakfast and spend half the day in our jammies......
Thank you for sharing such beautiful fabric and for the link!
I love baking and decorating holiday cookies! it's become a tradition with the kids!
My favorite holiday tradition is the breakfast we have every Christmas morning of tiny Swedish buttermilk pancakes. They are delish!
laurakreese[at]gmail[dot]com
I love Santa! You know, the kids have to get to bed early because Santa can't come until they're asleep kinda thing. The Christmas tree with no presents underneath and they (the presents) magically appear on Christmas morning. Not the we open our presents on Christmas Eve kind of thing, because Santa delivers in the middle of the night.
My favorite tradition is getting our tree. My entire family has gone to the same tree farm in the mountains since I was in kindergarten. We pick out a tree (after much deliberation and argument), and eat candy canes and hot cocoa afterward.
embyrfire@hotmail.com
My favorite holiday tradition I inherited from my husband's family. Advent... The 4 Sundays before Christmas we light one candle per Sunday and read stories about the Savior. Then each of the children get a little gift. It's a very nice simple way to keep the focus and the real meaning of Christmas.
Thanks for the giveaway! I'm a beginner, so that booklet would be so helpful!
ashleycardon@yahoo.com
My favourite holiday tradition would have to be putting the tree up with the kids... although I do not like having to explain that they still have 24 days to wait till Santa comes!! haha
xo Steph
The husband usually has the whole week after Christmas off work, so I always look forward to actually spending some evenings together, several nights in a row, even! :)
letting my little girl open one present Christmas eve night - which is always a new pair of Christmas pj's to wear that night!! juliesetsy@yahoo.com
Beautiful fabrics! My favorite holiday tradition is making cookies for Santa with my son.

I love Toastie Tootsies. At Thanksgiving, everyone picks a name from a hat and we purchase socks for that person. Not just any socks though. Very special socks. Pink camo's for my husband that loves hunting, ballerina toe socks for the 17 year-old boy, Santa socks for the uncle who's little kids don't know his Santa secret. On Christmas Eve we have turkey sandwiches and chips for dinner, do Toastie Tootsies then read the Christmas story from the scriptures and pass around a box of See's candy. Perfect every time!
My favorite tradition is that every Thanksgiving, my Dad and I kickstart the holidays and watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles :)
We just started this new tradition last year but we're really loving it. We would sit down as a family and each chooses a charitable organization, and the family make a donation to that charity in the person's name. It puts everybody in the spirit of giving for the holidays. Another tradition since my daughter was born is to make a tree ornament with a recent picture of hers and hang it on the tree together. We're making number 4 this year!
Thanks for the giveaway. Love the fabrics.
I always loved going with my family to the Christmas tree farm to pick the perfect tree and then my dad cutting it down.
My favorite holiday tradition is cutting down our own tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving!
Happy Holidays!
zabecc(at)hotmail(dot)com
My favourite holiday tradition is making my daughter an ornament each year. She's 18 now and almost has enough to decorate her own tree!

We have a few traditions we like, singing while my daughter plays Christmas music on his, making ornaments, opening a gift on Christmas Eve, a new tradition the past couple years of gifts and singing at the nursing home, candy cane hunt will be added this year too. I also like to have some sort of muffins or coffee cake for breakfast on Christmas morning to go with our coffee. A cup of coffee for my husband and I as we enjoy watching the kids take turn opening presents.
Head over and enter my giveaway, if you haven't already! Merry Christmas!
Super cute! My favorite holiday tradition is going to cut down a Christmas tree...hot chocolate and cookies are always there!
Thanks for such a great giveaway! This year I had planned on starting an Advent tradition with my dd. However, the Advent Calender has NOT been finished{{{sigh}}}! I am trying to help my not-quite-4 year old focus on the joy of GIVING during the Christmas season.
Merry Christmas!!
Hey there Mari!! Love the giveaway.. I could use that book! :)
Favorite tradition.. hmmm i suppose the holiday baking!
hope all is well! See you soon

My favorite tradition, which I have done since I was a mere child, is letting everyone open one present on Christmas Eve. It gives a hint of the excitement to follow on Christmas day, but makes the anticipation more bearable.
Picking out the tree
Thanks for the chance to win
violet_bg1@yahoo.co.uk
One of my favorites is decorating the tree! I hate putting on lights, but the rest is fun. ;)
(craftymom85atgmaildotcom)
Very nice! I have to say my fav tradition is when my son and I would decorate the house for Christmas, while watching a Muppets Christmas Carol--eating homemade cookies and cocoa. He is 22 now and we don't do it anymore, but maybe it is time to start a new tradition.
I love being at my mom's for Christmas. She always makes an awesome apple cake. So YUM!
amandassnyder at yahoo dot com

Thanks for the lovely giveaway
nhsarab at yahoo dot com
I love spending Christmas Eve with my extended family. Thanks for the chance!
My favourite holiday tradition is having breakfast with all my family before opening gifts on Christmas morning.
I love Tina Givens! My favorite holiday tradition growing up was the advent calendar. Now that I have my own family and haven't made one for us (for shame, I know), I want to start a new tradition: Christmas Eve pajamas. We never did it growing up, though I know lots of other families that do. I think it sounds like a really fun tradition and one I want to start with my kids.
I remember a tradition we had when I was a kid. The rule was that no one opened gifts Christmas Eve until the supper dishes were washed. One year, my cousin and I decided that our moms were just being too slow with the dishes so we took over and finished them up quickly, and after that it was a yearly tradition for the two of us to do the dishes.
favorite holiday tradition: decorating tree
fingers crossed,

I look forward to walking around the neighborhood and admiring all the beautiful Christmas lights.
Leaving the lights on all night Christmas Eve. I loved that as a kid and to this day my favourite thing is sitting in the living room when the kids and hubs are all in bed, looking at the lights with a hot drink in my hands.
limes.sweet(at)gmail(dot)com
My favourite holiday tradition is making one hand made item for each person. They all look forward to what crazy or neat thing I'll make.

We always have appies on Christmas eve, and the next morning it's the traditional "Christmas Morning Wife-saver" for breakfast with some sparkling wine mixed with orange juice :)
i love the Moravian love feast our church hosts every Christmas :)
My favorite holiday tradition is when my Dad reads the Polar Express on Xmas Eve, he hasn't done it the last couple years cuz I am the baby at 26, so hopefully he will start again when there are grandbabies!
On Christmas eve we have just our immediate family and we go for a drive to look at Christmas lights, then we come home and eat hors d'oeuvres for dinner (in the living room- my kids love it because they're never allowed to eat in there any other day of the year.)
It's hard to pick a favorite! One unique one that we used to do before getting married was my mom gave a nutcracker to my brother and me every year. It usually represented something in the past year.
Thanks for doing the giveaway! emily at newlywife dot com
We have avocado sandwiches at my Grammys on Christmas eve, love it! Thanks for the chance!
Oh my! What a lovely prize!! But what a tricky question, I have no idea how to pick just one Christmas tradition. I love our advent calendar as each day we get a piece from the nativity scene and build our own. I love being with family. I love singing Christmas carols. I love decorating the house. You see, I couldn't pick one, I'm a big kid at heart.
Ciel_s at yahoo dot co dot uk
Favorite tradition? There are so many but every Christmas our kids love to have their friends over for a fun but fancy gingerbread house decorating event!

Hello!
Great giveaway! My fave holiday tradition has to be decorating the tree and the house with my family. Always make an effort to have everyone there. Always a wonderful time.
kennedycraft (at) aol (dot) com
My favourite holiday tradition is finally flopping down to relax when the christmas presents are made (usually midnight on Christmas eve!) and starting to eat... and eat ... and eat... and not stopping until January 2nd!
Family drives to look at holiday lights tops my list - loved it as a child, love it as a parent. Teaching my toddler holiday songs is a close second!
Thanks for this great giveaway. We don't really celebrate any holidays so we don't really have traditions associated with them. However when a big holiday from any religion (that I know about) comes up I always give my dogs a special dinner treat. Does that count??
Cheers,
Bea

Thanks. I'm loving the lines and angles and colors on this Tina Givens fabric.
My favorite holiday tradition is making nativities with my family each year. I think this year we'll make gingerbread men, animals, and stars, or sculpt little clay ornaments. :D
My favorite holiday tradition is setting out a little antique Santa that I've had since I was little. I call him sticky santa because he is waxy and seems to get stickier as the year goes on. He's my favorite and always makes me smile.
One of my favourite traditions is to read "The Night Before Christmas". We read it every night the week before Christmas, and we have collected several nice editions of the book to keep it interesting. My kids love it!
I always look forward to Christmas Eve when my extended family of about 30 get together to party, drink and have fun. Thanks for the chance!

I have two favorites. First is making christmas cookies with my grandmothers. My daughter does this with her grandmother now. My second is exchanging ornaments with a group of my best friends from college. It's so fun to get together every year (10+ years) and to put up the old ornaments!
Lovely fabric. And lovely blog. A tradition I adore is just being with family. This year I'll be doing that along with a bit of sewing in my spare time.
My favourite Christmas tradition is every Christmas Eve we track Santa on noradsanta.com and enjoy appies. Nice and relaxing. :)
Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite holiday tradition is doing Meals on Wheels with my family. We started doing it a few years ago and have decided to do it every year. Then we go home and have waffles.
Favorite holiday tradition, having a special diner with family, getting out all the nice dishes and getting dressed up.
I love opening one gift Christmas eve, usually jammies :)
My very favorite holiday tradition is exchanging a jar of green olives with my brother and mom. We didn't have a lot of luxuries growing up, but my mom would always splurge and get us a jar of green olives to serve in a little bowl for Christmas dinner.
We still sneak jars into each other's stockings.
Hi,
my favorite tradition is going out a few nights before Christmas to look at all the lights. :)

i love making 'santa cookies' which my grama made every year i was growing up... now she is 94 and unable to do it, so my daughter and i will make some and mail them to her.
thanks for the chance!
My favorite holiday tradition would be walking to church on christmas eve with the whole family. Everybody pretends they are annoied by it and we are always late but there is a lot of goofing around and making jokes on the way over so I would miss it a lot if we just took the car. And it is only a one hour walk :)
What a lovely Giveaway! The fabrics are beautiful! My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the Christmas Tree and then turning off all of the lights in the house and looking at the tree while listening to Christmas music. Yeah, not so original I know, but it is very wonderful to me!
Great Giveaway!
My favorite tradition is christmas eve. When we were little kids it was just too much to make a fancy dinner christmas eve and christmas day so instead my parents order a platter of lunch meats, and buy some cooked shrimp for dinner christmas eve. We all make our own sandwiches in the kitchen, and stand around the shrimp bowl talking about what we hoped santa would bring and all the things we did wrong that might get us coal. Now that we're older we still do this because it is our own little tradition.
My favorite tradition is making cookies and candy. Love the fabrics - thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite holiday tradition is watching movies with the family and making cookies together.
my favorite holiday tradition is baking with my Mom. We lost her to cancer a couple months ago, so this Christmas will be very very hard. :(
Our favorite tradition is reading the night before Christmas on Christmas eve. The kids are all older but they still want to do that. Merry CHristmas.
My favorite Christmas tradition is burning cherry wood in the fireplace and having fresh orange cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. :o)
Our favorite holiday tradition (provided we have snow!) is sledding down the perfect kiddy hill we discovered a few years back at a sculpture park. It is very quiet and peaceful there, and sleighing between the artworks adds something special :-)
Thank you for a very pretty and generous give-away! (I discovered your blog through Elsie Marley Kids Clothes Sewing Week and I really like your style & choice of colors and embellishments!)

Our favorite tradition is going to get our tree at our favorite little local store they have goodies and decorations and reindeer! Making a day of it, we look forward to going there every year.
One of my favorite holiday traditions is that my hubby makes fudge for the entire family to devour. IT is the best fudge out there.
my favourite tradition is having my dad read The Night Before Christmas on Christmas eve (yes, I am probably too old for it, but it's a sentimental thing)
My favorite holiday tradition is going out to see the Christmas lights in our neighborhood with our kids. I love how excited they get.

My favourite holiday tradition is gathering around the piano to sing carols. When I was young, it was with me and my grandparents. As I got older, friends from school would join in. Now the tradition continues with my hubby's family, only with a few guitars thrown in!
