«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 516 Newer› Newest»Our plans are to really make a big deal about my son's birthday this year. His birthday is smack in the middle of the holidays and it doesn't get enough attention. This year we are going to do it big!
I am a follower. I also follow on facebook and twitter!
My husband and I are going to go get my Mom in Jacksonville and bring her back to our house in Tampa. She will stay for a week. She was so excited about coming to our house. We have two grown children, so we will have a nice somewhat quite Christmas at home.
what an awesome giveaway! although we have christmas parties, birthday party, cooking, cleaning, decorating, baking, shopping, wrapping, giving, concerts, plays, and the list goes on...Our main goal is teaching our children why we have Christmas, sharing the story with others and being JOYFUL!
FB fan...hit me with another entry for this awesome giveaway ;)

What a fantastic giveaway!! We will be spending Christmas with my family and then heading to my in laws to drop the kids so hubby and I can have a well deserved vacation! Happy Holidays!
I moved six hours away from my family and our Christmas traditions to live on his family's farm with my husband (which is now our farm). Back home my family always got together on Christmas Eve, went to church then had an extended family dinner. Afterwards we would drive home and take the long way so we could see all the different Christmas scenes and decorations at different neighborhoods. Since I moved away I have started the same tradition, just with my husband's family. We have the SAME routine and even dinner menu as my family so that my little one's don't miss out on the loved holiday traditions I grew up with. Christmas is spent at home with grandparents coming over to see their grandkids gifts.
What a great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity!

Wow...how generous of you. We got to Christmas Eve services and then out to eat (we don't have any family living close) Our kids then get to open one present on Christmas Eve from us (the parents!) We then get up and eat a huge breakfast that always includes bread pudding. Read some special Bible passages and then open presents. We love it!
This will be my first Christmas without having my kids with me on Christmas Day. When we do Christmas, we will get up early, open presents, make a big breakfast, then play with the toys and games the rest of the day. If we actually get a white Christmas, we will find fun stuff to do outside too.
I had a friend come and sign up!
We are spending Christmas eve with my husbands family and Christmas day with my family, after an out of town wedding of a close friend the Sunday before Christmas. Also, my brothers birthday the Tuesday before for which I am baking the cake. We're going to be busy but we are thanking God that we have family to be busy with.
I am also folling on facebook.
what a great giveaway! My parents will come over Christmas Eve for dinner, Christmas a.m. we open presents and then go to late Mass. Then off to my cousins in the late p.m. for an extended family Christmas dinner. my e-mail is tmnieto@yahoo.com
We are going to have a nice and quiet ( as quiet as 4 kids 9-5 can be) family day. Staying at home so the kids can play with the new toys.
We are going to stick around and just have a good time with our kids.
This give away is awesome.

We are working on starting some family traditions of our own this year. We'll be making goodies and delivering them to friends and this mixer would sure come in handy!

We will spending Christmas at home this year on our own and looking forward to next year when our oldest son returns from serving a mission! We will miss all of our extended family this year as they are too far away to get together with on a yearly basis, but I am sure we will get together with friends and enjoy celebrating the birth of Christ!
I follow your blog and I'm happy you've returned to your old format :)
i am blessed to be able to spend the holidays with my children, siblings and parents.

I was told about your blog giveaway by Audrey Beebe. I'd love to enter your contest.
Our holiday has kinda turned into a 3-day holiday spectacular. There are so many family members and friends to visit that we've slowely added more and more days to our celebration. We spend Christmas Eve with my family where my parents and sisters do our holiday gift exchange. Christmas is just a time for us and our children. We do our own christmas and then we go see a movie and visit a few friends. The day after Christmas we go spend with my husband's side of the family. We do a big Christmas breakfast and exchange gifts and hang out with his brothers and sisters all day. So much fun!
I put a comment on facebook with a link to your blog :) I would sure love to win!
Realizing some Christmas goals this year! Doing Advent with my children (the countdown to Jesus birthday), and keeping things simple. This mixer would be great for the tradition I want to begin- making sugar & gingerbread cookies with my 3 children, and have fun decorating them while listening to Christmas tunes :0) We also do this at Thanksgiving time for my Nana who is in a nursing home with dementia. She doesn't remember us, but it teaches us that true love is when you give to someone and don't expect something in return. Merry Christmas!
I subscribe also!
Hi Tiffany! What a great blog, I love it! We are going to sunny San Diego for Christmas to spend time with my family and introduce them all to our newest little guy, Alex. I would love to catch up with you soon. You are obviously very busy with great things. Can you send me your address for a Christmas card?? Love, Chelsea
What a AWESOME giveaway!
My plans for Christmas are to wake up early with the kiddos (nobody ever sleeps in right?!) and open presents and eat our traditional breakfast casserole. We will then let the kiddos play and get ready for our extended family celebration that afternoon.
I will blog on coupondealsandsteals.blogspot.com and facebook it and tweet it and become a follower...so I guess that's 4 for me!
Thanks Again!
My parents are trying to talk us in to going to Dallas and having Christmas at their house. I think I want to stay at home and start my own family traditions. My mom promised me a week without kids if we came and that is extremely tempting. :)
awe heck! here's my hat for your ring. :)
this christmas is a season of maybe's. if i can sell a painting or two we might have enough money to go home to iowa for the holidays. if not, we'll be here in south carolina... baking cookies and and dreaming of a white christmas. :)
i follow you (not in a creepy stalker sort of way but in an absolutely friendly normal way)... and i posted this on facebook. :) (i hope you have someone lined up to rub your hand, arm and shoulder down after all this writing!!)
merry christmas, tiff!
"betty" is me... sarah. in case you didn't know. :)
The Donohoe's will not be spending christmas on Falling Star Ct this year :( We wont get to see all the Davis Grand kids running around with their new gifts! All five of us ( yes ever James) are traveling to New York state to be with family for Christmas. Also having all the family in the same place we will hold a memorial service for Grandma at her favorite chapel in New York. It should be beautiful to have a White Christmas and to celebrate Grandmas life. Sadly Charlie and the Cats will be left behind :(
PS i received a forwarded email about your website from my sister i suppose from katie and it's so cool! love a good deal
Wow! What a great give away prize. I hope I win - I've been wanting a Kitchen-Aid so long. This Christmas will be much quieter than I'm use to. Just hanging with parents and hopefully a little game time with some siblings.
Well our plans for Christmas this year is...I have to work on Christmas Eve, (I am a nurse so we always have to share working the holidays!)On Christmas morning my husband, daughter and I will open presents then head to the inlaws, later that day will go to my grandparents house for Christmas there. Saturday after Christmas we will go to my aunts to celebrate christmas with my moms side of the family! and somewhere in there we will go to my parents to celebrate christmas...just don't have the set day yet!
We'll be spending Christmas with both sides of our families, doing the rounds to see everyone!
I follow your blog.

We have a quiet Christmas Eve at home. We always watch Christmas Story and my sister spends the night here. We have pork pies and snacky type food. Christmas day our families get together at my brother's house. We do a Yankee swap and eat all kinds of yummy food.
we're having 12 people in my 3 bedroom house for a week.. it'll be so close it'll feel like christmas! i'm looking forward to our night of sugar cookie making with my neice, mom, mother in law, and sister in law! (while the guys sit around and drink beer in the garage!)

Oh, I need a new one! Mine rocks when I use the dough hook. I am planning on spending Christmas making delicious food for my wonderful family, enjoying the gorgeous Texas weather, and watching as the girl's pull oranges out of the bottom of their stockings. I am posting this on my blog so enter me twice!
This Christmas will be spent with wonderful friends that are now part of our additional family!! Love your Blog & your Facebook page! You continue to amaze me!! If I win the giveaway I might have to learn to actually cook / bake!! I'm sure my kids would be excited to see that!!!
Great giveaway!! :) For the holidays I'll be spending time with my family and enjoying the kids out of school.
p.s. My mom and I are going to see PW this weekend too! :)
We are going to spend time with family and friends which is so much fun.
May Canadians enter? My grandma, aunt, and uncle will be visiting for a week. We don't have any firm plans other than that - a lot will depend on the weather - but I'm looking forward to playing Scrabble with my aunt.

This year my mom is driving from iowa to suprise my sons by arriving on Christmas day. We are so excited. We are also hoping to fit in cookie decorating in there too! I posted on my blog and facebook about you (I have a feeling you will get a lot more people following your blog after this giveaway!)
We plan to have a big family gathering at our place on Christmas eve with my husbands family. They holidays are always bitter sweet for them since they lost their mom. This will be the second Christmas since she passed away so I am going to try and make this a very happy event and concentrate on making everyone smile. Last year was rough on everyone!
I got this from Ashlei Mathews, and subscribed to your blog.
I love this time of the year.I always try to cook a good meal for my family.Tehey mean so much to me.Love them so much.I have never had a mixer like this.It would heip so much. I'm a big fan of yours too
I always try to Make a good dinner for my family . This would help out a lot Hope I win lol I,m also a fan of yours
Thanks much for the opportunity to win the mixer. Great idea! My husband and I are going to spend christmas morning at home quietly opening our gifts. Well mix up our special pancake recipe and make our red & green pancakes yummy. Then go over to my parents house and visit and open more gifts, then off to his mother's house and visit:) Busy day, well lucky enough that our parent live just minutes away!
This year, my son is 14 months old, so Christmas is going to be TONS of fun! PLUS...we just got our first house, we should close this week. SO, we are celebrating our family in our new home! (Such a needed move since the area we live in has really gone down hill, and was no longer safe for our son). Landry (our son), loves Christmas lights, so I can't wait to decorate our new home.
I love this giveaway! I've wanted one of these forever, I do a lot of baking. My mom is a high school assistant principal, and I bake cakes for the staff for birthdays. I have to use her mixer because they are such big cakes, so having one of my own would be fantastic! I am also going to subscribe and facebook.
Holiday Plans include celebrating Jacqueline's 1st birthday, baking cookies, having my mom here and enjoying my family.

My plans for the holidays are to drive all aroudn New England visiting both are families. Its a lot of driving but worth it since we only see them a few times a year.
My plans for the holidays are to spend lots of time with my family and eat all those wonderful Christmas goodies while playing games!
Love your blog-- I will be spending Christmas with my husband and children-- it is always a very low key day for us since our family lives out of town. Give us a chance to really connect as a family since everything is closed and we truly spend the whole day together.
I almost forgot to say that I'm a follower!
I'm hoping for a very quiet Christmas at home. That is the plan so far. Just us and plenty of Christmas movies would be perfect.
we plan to visit lots of family this Christmas. Denise N.

I'm driving to Idaho and it will be my first Christmas with just Maynor and no one else. A little weird but I'll call and wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I'm also a follower and I'm going to blog about it!
I wish I could tell you my plans for the holidays. I haven't even gotten that far yet. So far, I've received a couple of Christmas cards (one of my favorite parts of Christmas) and I lit the fire tonight. Hoping to shop next week and maybe even decorate too. I have a feeling it's going to be a quiet Christmas this year. :-)
I will cook gumbo for all my famiy and inlaws as well, as I do every year. Along with desserts and appetizers! Most importantly, me and my daughters will bake a cake and sing happy birthday to Jesus.

We have the great fortune of having most of our grandparents still alive...but it makes for some hectic holidays! We have one grandma's (complete with many aunts/uncles/cousins) the Sunday before, another on Christmas Eve, my in-law's whenever it fits inbetween, our family's Christmas morning, my Mom's Christmas evening and my other Grandma's in early January. Oh...and we still have another Grandma's to go to, but she never decides when her xmas will be until the last minute....aarrrgghhhhh!!! We love having tons of family around, and cooking with a new mixer would be devine. Happy Holidays!
I love your blog, btw, and am a follower!
Wow!! What a great giveaway! All the family lives in town so Christmas Eve and Christmas day will be full of fun family memories!

My Plans for Christmas are the usual. Christmas Eve at my house and Christmas day at my brother-in-laws house. We have two boys and they have three boys. It is always fun to watch the kids play and open gifts. It is loud and crazy but fun!

Because of my husbands work schedule, we won't be heading home for the holidays (10 hrs away) until Dec. 27. So, the four of us plan on lots of holiday baking (this is where the mixer comes in handy :), hanging out by the fireplace and visiting with friends and neighbors!
I have always dreamed of owning a Kitchen Aid Mixer!!! What a fantastic give away!!
Our Christmas plans include being home Christmas morning and then driving to AR to see extended family. Gotta lot of cooking to do for that trip too!! This Kitchen Aid mixer is exactly what we need to fix all the food n goodies we're taking!!! I'm so excited!!
Love

I have been using my Kitchentics for 22 years and the motor is showing its old age and all that I've put it through. SO if I am the lucky one you draw, you know its going to a needy kitchen (big grin). If you don't draw my name, it's okay, someone else needed it more.
Your blog just amazes me everytime I visit! How do you keep up with it all? You young mothers are just plain out amazing.
Plan on just being with family this Christmas, maybe dig out and finish some "old" Christmas projects that are hiding in the closet.
Terry
For Christmas we go to my mother's house for Christmas Eve, then the family all comes over to our house on Christmas day. That gives an opportunity for the kids to play with whatever Santa brings them, and the family to spend time together, too.
I follow you on Twitter now, too.
I am here for the first time from @ThingsMomsLike recommendation on Twitter.
We do so much for Christmas! Christmas Eve we go to my in-laws and husbands grandparents then Christmas Day we go to both of my grandma's houses. This year is our first year in our new house and with 2 little ones I am really contemplating taking it a little easy, but I doubt it!
Visiting family in Texas and hoping for snow!
Tiffany how do you do it! All those beautiful kids, an awesome web site and 'give away contests to boot.'
I am actually headed to Texas to spend a couple of weeks with my grandkids (your niece's) and celebrate an early Christmas with them. My hubby will pick me up on his way home from his current movie, and we will make the delightful drive clear across Texas, NM,CO. and home to Utah for a very quiet Christmas. We have decided to keep it very small this year just for the simple fact that we have had so many blessings lately, that big gifts just don't seem important right now. This of course is his idea and I support him 100%, but a new mixer would make my season bright. This is my first time into your blog, so give Tonia some extra credit cause her blog always mentions you and I got in through hers. You do a great job and I will follow it from now on. - Thanks- Becky Roundy
This would be a great present for my 30th birthday which is in about 11 days! My plans...well...spend Christmas day with the In-laws and Saturday with my family. And maybe getting a nap in somewhere. :-)
oh great item always wanted one This year we will have a few christmas to go to since my husbands family leave us. My bother wont make it home for the holidays.
Our plans are to be with family, we have both sides of the family in our area so we usually do Christmas Eve at one side of the family and the other side on Christmas day. We are usually home for a quiet Christmas morning with just the 5 of us, before we head out to someones home for Christmas lunch or dinner.This year my 18 month old is loving all the Christmas lights and decorations!!
This would be a nice mixer to have!! -Hope
I also subscribe to your blog.
We will have Christmas at home with family and then head to Chicago for New Years with the in-laws
As usual, I will host my family on Christmas Eve, and we will spend Christmas Day will my husband's family. I am very excited to this year as it will be my son's first Christmas and my daughter is two now and more aware of all the celebration.
I also follow you on Facebook and Twitter. I have posted the giveaway on my Facebook page.
Usually we end up travelling 11 hours but this year we are going to stay home with our 8 year old daughter & the dog (the lab part of the labradoodle you've got!). We are so looking forward to just spending time together - and baking!
I also subscribe now!!!
I also just subscribed to your blog. I visit every day anyway, might as well. =)
For Christmas I will be baking a ton, so this would be a great help!!!
This year we are going to my sister's in-laws for Christmas Eve, then we are staying home Christmas Day. The grandparents are coming up for a while with presents for the boys. Should be fun!!
Just subscribed!!
Christmas plans this year? Playing with the new KitchenAid I'm going to win!! lololol! ;-)
AND... we'll be going to MIL's house sometime during the day. Our kids are young enough, that we wish we could stay in our jammies and let them play with their presents all day. BUT, asking MIL to cart ALL of her presents to our house is a bit much. So, we'll go there, probably for Christmas lunch.
Thanks for the chance! Awesome giveaway!
We do our family thing here at the house and linger over a breakfast of cinnamon rolls and bacon-waffle casserole -Oh, the carbs! Yum! We read the Christmas story at the table before tackling presents. Next, we play with our toys, call extended family and just sit back in bliss. Later, we bundle up and go have Christmas at Grandma's with all of my family driving in from all over. Instead of a gift exchange (which could get pricey) we all bring an item from our house; we call them 'yardsale gifts'. Some are great, some are quite ornery. Gifts are wrapped and place din a pile in the middle of the floor and we play a game of Sneaky Santa with them. Lots of laughter and love. We stay and linger over good food and good company until the children start dropping like flies and then we drag ourselves home. With blurry eyes, we light the Christ candle in the Advent wreath and read our final Advent verses of the season.
My mixer died, right before Thanksgiving and I'm broke - what a fun possibility! Thank you for hosting such an incredible giveaway!
we are making the crazy-round-the-country round trip we have done in the past: first stop tennessee, on to michigan, then back to chicago. it can be grueling in the car but it is always good to see everyone...
melanie(dot)myatt(at)gmail(dot)com
What a wonderful giveaway!! To start a new tradition in our family one year ago we decided to have an open house each year. This way the kids can stay at home and enjoy their gifts and we dont have to run to twenty different places! :) We have asked all family and friends to stop on by for a bite before they visit their extended families.
kendatoothfairy@q.com
YIPPEE!! I've been wanting one of these for a few years ago but never splurge on such nice things for myself! :)
Our family is all over the place. We split our day between in laws, immediate family and home. Makes for an exhausting few days...but so worth it to see everyone.
My mom's family meets a week or so before Christmas for pictures and gift exchange so that we can all do things with our own families on the day of Christmas - sure makes it easier! And this year, my cousin is home from overseas - so a true gift to us all!
Happy Holidays!
Not really sure what we are doing for the holidays this year! I love Thanksgiving and Christmas the most of all out of the Holidays!!!
We are hoping for a job offer for my husband as our family Christmas gift this year!!
Happy Holidays!!
We are spending Christmas day at home just our little family. This should be fun since out little one is old enough to enjoy presents and Christmas morning
I follow this blog
I am bringing my new baby (and her 4 older sibs) home to meet my parents. Can't wait for the holidays!
What an awesome giveaway! Our Christmas will be pretty quiet this year. At least I think! I have to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. At least my brother will be cooking this year, so we will gather later in the evening and do presents and such then.
My family will be flying in from Alaska, Arizona, Washington, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia to spend the holiday with my mom and extended family in California. We will gather, for the first time since my dad's and aunt's passing, to celebrate with the extended family, as we did every year when we were young. We share lots of good food and fellowship with family and friends...what the holidays are best for. Your give-away is a good reason to share these traditions...

I hope this year brings in some luck!
Crossing my fingers.
Thanks
We usually make cinnamon rolls and read the Christmas story from the Bible. Then my son opens gifts after that. This year my sister wants EVERYONE to stay the night with her so we can all wake up together on Christmas morning! We probably will but I don't think the kids will ever go to sleep!
Awesome Contest. I am doing the home thing of to My husbands Aunt but thinking of doing more. Lots of baking. I do not own a mixer of any kind. I mix by hand but would love this. It is on my wish list.
Our holiday is going to be laid back. We bought the kids a train table and set this year, so I am sure the morning will be busy playing with that. Thanks to your great heads up on the best deals, we are going to have a great Christmas for very little expense. After a big breakfast, we will be taking a 2 1/2 hr drive to Watertown, NY and spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa. That will be the best gift for the kids we could ever give them!

We are going to visit my family and my hubby's family. Should be filled with fun and food!
That mixer looks amazing!
As usual, we will be traveling to Michigan to spend time with my family. We will travel the day the kids get out of school and leave after Christmas Eve dinner so we can be back at our home in Ohio for Christmas morning

This has been such a taxing year. My mother has been through cancer,she's now legally blind, my father had a blockage in his kidney has lost sight in one eye, my mother in law came home from the nursing home and is bedridden and my husband is working two jobs... Our plans are going to be a little different this year.
But I've still found my joy in the season. Bills were ignored so that my girls will still believe in Santa and right now, holding on to that innocence is so much more important than a month of phone service.
We'll be spending Christmas Eve with my parents. That was always the family dinner and excitement when I was a kid. :) We opened all of our presents then too. The girls get more excited for that than Christmas Morning.
I hope it holiday season finds you and yours lovely!
We go to my brother every year and we always try to think of new recipes to make. Half of the family that will be there are vegans so it always is an interesting day. In the family there are 19 total people going to be there 9 kids and the rest adults and most of the time my sister in-laws family shows up too. So they end up with a packed house on Christmas.
My plans this year is to hopefully make our 1 year old's First Christmas the best one ever. We relocated to San Diego 4 months ago from our home in Texas, so we'll be without family this year. It's alright, because we've made a few great friends here thus far. We've put up lights, sung her (Bailey) Christmas songs and wrapped her gifts. She's SO curious to what's in those boxes. We'll have a 12 pound turkey to devour among the three of us, so a lot of sleep is in store..
Thanks for the opportunity..

This Christmas should be a super fun one for me! My baby boy just turned 1 on the 3rd, so it will be so exciting watching him open up all his fun gifts! I can not wait! We will probably be spending the night at my parents house on Christmas eve to wake up bright and early (or at least when the younger kids wake us up!) on Christmas morning! We usually do cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and than a huge family dinner! Having my baby boy in my life now has opened my eyes to cooking! I just want to bake all the time!! So a new mixer would be wonderful!! Hope you have a fablous holiday season!
We are having a baking party with the in-laws a few days before Christmas. Then Christmas day my family and my fiance's family will have lunch together. This year I will get to help decorate for the lunch. Maybe soon I can start cooking!! I became a follower and will post on facebook about this.
We just stay home with our 5 kids and spend a very lazy day enjoying too much food and a few presents. It's what we'll do again this year I'm sure. There is no family living anywhere close other than the 7 of us - kind of nice but kind of sad.
I'm following you on Twitter.

For Christmas I plan to learn how to blog for a chance at prizes! It has taken me a few days to master this simple message so here we go. I am looking forward to being at home for Christmas with my family, opening gifts, eating and relaxing. This may be my husband's only day off and we plan to enjoy it doing as little as possible, yet making it another great day to remember when our children are grown and have their own family. I will cook like I am feeding the masses. My extended family will call and ask what I have cooked and tell me they are coming by for a plate-the foil and paper plates are ready to go!!! They will stay and chat for a few minutes but they will soon move on to their next destination-my feelings will not be hurt. For Christmas, you really cannot make any plans for they will just get replanned by someone other than you-so I "plan" to go with the flow and be prepared for whatever comes my way....
This Christmas we will stay home, just the 5 of us (well the 8 of us if you include our two little dogs and our cat.) This time of year is so busy that we decided to do what is right for us, and that is to stay home and enjoy our time together. Happy Holidays!!

My plans are to just hang out with the family. My husband has a new job that gives him two weeks off and I think we will just hang out and do family things.
I am spending Christmas with my uncle and cousins. I think we'll have a cheery time, and I've promised to make a delicious dessert.

wow, this would be incredible.
Our plans for the holiday include some baking and eating! Sharing time with family and friends and trying to go snow shoeing with our two daughters for the first time!
Well, I am about to have my third baby girl! I have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. I am due Jan. 17th but have gone 3 weeks early with my other ones. Which puts us right at... Christmas! So our plans are to stay close to home, and spend lots of time celebrating the holidays with family and friends. Decorating, going to look at Christmas lights, baking cookies and drinking hot chocolate! And wait for baby sister to come along!
Thanks!

I am going to be celebrating with my husband and son. We are thinking of making Breakfast for dinner that night!
I wish I could spend time with my family, but they live 3000 miles away.

Since Christmas is my birthday we usually go to the in-laws so that I don't have to cook.
We'll be keeping our tradition of 29 years now! Christmas Eve with a family friend and then midnight candlelight service at church. We all sleep in one room together (sprawled all over the floor) and then wake up and open gifts. Brunch follows and then a NAP! After that it's time to eat again!
Hanging out with the family when I'm not working. Nothing spectacular, just together time which is fine with me.
Thanks for doing the giveaway!

Well, since my family and I have moved twice this year, we're Like Tradition having Christmas at home. I live with my Parents and Grandparents and My mom's birthday is Christmas eve.

My brother and I get to open one gifts on Christmas eve, after Mama Opens hers, Christmas Morning. We all wake up and open presents then my Mom and Grandmother cook a huge Brunch for everyone, and the day is spent relaxing, talking, and taking stock of all we're so very thankful for, figuring out gifts/how they work etc.
While rememebering fond memeoryies of my Great-Grandfather who passed away a week before Christmas, 5 years ago. We loved and adored him. Christ is the Center of our Christmas. We also incorperate Chanukah traditions as well.

Great giveaway, I hope I win :)
Our Christmas plans are kinda small this year. My Son and his 2 daughters will come and spend the day, we will have a nice dinner and maybe cook up some goodies. The girls love to cook and have a festive party for the Holidays. Thanks so much for such a great give-a-way. Holiday Blessing,

I am hosting dinner for my family and my husband's family on Christmas day. We like to stay home so the kids can play with their toys and aren't being packed in the car running all over the northeast visiting family.
I have a LOT of baking and cooking to do in the days leading up to Christmas and a brand new mixer would certainly help!
My family will be spending time with our family and friends this year. We are praying Grandpa makes it to Christmas for one more time.
Because our families live so close, we spend a lot of time in the car between homes. This year we're going to spend that time talking about what we're thankful for!
I subscribed today.
I normally wing it. The cosmos has a way of destroying the best laid plans. So the most planning I normally end up doing is figuring out ahead of time what we will eat for the holidays. Of course sometime during the holidays the kids will open the advent calendar and we will read stories and bake cookies but other than that I haven't etched out details.

We will be celebrating at church and then at different homes for the family celebrations. It is always a blessing to get to spend time with family.
Wow - what a fabulous givewaway. Our Christmas is going to be low key as we are having a baby exactly two weeks before Christmas. My in-laws are coming over for Christmas Eve at our house and then we will most likely head to my parent's house for Christmas day. Thanks for the great giveaway!

We have brunch with my parents, brother and sister and their families. They have small children, and it's such a joy. This will also be my first Christmas as a grandma. My "bonus" daughter and her husband have a son who will be 3 months old on Christmas Eve. This will be a very special year for us. I do most of the baking for the family and sure could use a nice new mixer!

You know we just do the usual....nice dinner on christmas eve, open the new pj's, put on the santa hats, deliver last minute goody plates and gifts, and ooooh and aaaah over all the pretty christmas lights as we pass. come home throw the kids in bed and do the usual santa thing.....my daughter 17, told me the other day the year she realized there was no santa, was the year she woke up in the middle of the night hearing me and my husband in the living room talking and putting together toys. she heard me leave the room to get a screw driver or something and heard my husband fart....ooops,... she then realized that there was no santa, because why would santa fart?!.......

we just celebrated Christmas with my family and will with my husbands in a week so christmas day will just be my husband, my daughter, and me. looking forward to it!
My husband and I are trying to start our own traditions for our little family unit of 2 adults + 2 cats. I am working at a coffee shop, which shall remain unnamed and is in fact open on Christams Day. (GRRR.) (Which is not the tradition we want to start, but I digress.) So I will most likely be working. We live several states away from both of our families, and once I knew we wouldn't travel, I don't mind working too much. It will allow some of my other coworkers to spend time with their families. My Mom may come down to spend Chistmas with us. I hope she does. My grandmother died a year ago, Mom is single, bro lives in France and sis will probably spend time with her Dad and boyfriend- which leaves Mom sitting alone. The day after Christmas Husband and I will travel to see his family for a few days.
We are hoping to celebrate Christmas morn with our young children and then drive to visit extended family.

We celebrate Christmas by having my sister and her family and my parents over on Christmas Eve. We all go to church in the evening and then we come back for a big supper of roast chicken, with rice pudding for dessert. One of the children gets a bowl of rice pudding with an almond inside and gets a special gift.
My husband and I usually buy a Christmas gift for each other that is a "family" gift, we were going to buy a mixer this year but we don't have the money. It would be so great to win this!
I just subscribed too.
Great giveaway!! I have always wanted a fancy smancy mixer!!!
The in-laws are driving 16hrs {each way} to spend a week with us at Christmas. I can't wait. We only get to see our families once or twice a year so it should be fun!
I love sitting in the darkened room with the christmas music and the tree on while I snuggle on the couch with my little one!
