I love spending more time with my husband as he'll be off from work as well as seeing my girls enjoy the magic of the holidays.
Christmas Eve services, and then driving around at midnight with my sister-in-law to look at lights... we've done this for 20 years now! <3
Yum! I would love to win this. I've been eying those pearls in shindig for quite a while.
I look forward to time with family and friends.
Happy holidays and I love your fabric!
Thanks for the chance to win! (sukie80@gmail.com)
I'm most looking forward to watching my daughter open her gifts. I'm hoping she's finally old enought to understand the concept.
I used to look forward to taking a trip to Oregon, but now I've moved there! I'm still looking forward to seeing my family though :)

I am most excited about celebrating with our family on Christmas Eve.
I love the family dinners. This year will be the first time I have Christmas dinner with my sister and her family in 28 years. Its going to be great.
And, of course, thanks for the giveaway.
My parents live overseas but every year they come out to visit me and my brother. My favorite thing has to be having us all together over Christmas. It's the only time of the year that it usually happens, which makes it extra special.
Happy Holidays to you!
family getting together....
Thank you for the generous giveaway! I'm most looking forward to the looks on my kids' faces on Christmas morning. My husband was in Iraq last Christmas and my daughter was tiny the Christmas before so this is really our first Christmas together as a family with both kids knowing what is going on. It's so exciting. I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Spending quality time with family, eating good food, lighting candles and snuggling up under a fab quilt=) Thank you for the opportunity to win.
The lights on houses is one of the highlights for me too - we bundle the kids in the car one night and go cruising, looking and picking out our favorites. :)
I love getting out the tree decorations and unwrapping them--remembering where each ornament came from. Now that my daughter is old enough, she loves to "help."
Love making Christmas cookies with the family!
I love speaking to everyone I love on Christmas day and eating goodies guilt-free, but it also makes me smile when I catch a stranger break into song or dance in the supermarket to the christmas music when they think no one is looking. :)
Fabulous fabric - super awesome fabric in fact! I just love it.
Christmas is such a great time for family fun. My kids still believe, and the best part for me is watching their eyes light up when they see that Santa has come to our house!!
I like exactly what you said! My kids ask me every time we go out if we can go Christmas Light searching, to look at all the houses that are lit up!

I love the food and being cozy by the fireplace.
Christmas Eve. My whole family gets together for a giant dinner. It's my favorite holiday of the year!
I love that moment when you wake up and you realize that it's Christmas. No matter where you are, there's something so magical about that.
I love your fabric. I can't believe that I haven't seen it before now. Well, actually I can because, due to our budget, I have been staying away from fabric stores. But I guarantee that any cash I receive for Christmas will be set aside for some of that lovely fabric.
My favorite part of Christmas is the baking.
i look forward to the lights everywhere, the smell of pine, gingerbread, and shorter days.
Wow, what a lovely giveaway! My favorite time now is watching my daughter's excitement, she's finally getting old enough to enjoy and understand everything and it's so fun to watch! Thanks for the giveaway!
It's seeing Christmas thru the eyes of my little girls. It gives me such joy to see how thoroughly excited they are about snow, lights, food, etc. Thanks for such a nice giveaway!
I love holiday cooking and crafting little special homemade gifts for my family while the Christmas lights twinkle and music fills the air.
i love spending time with my family. and waking up early christmas morning and sitting by the tree by myself. just so relaxing.
Happy giveaway day to you!
I think that eating cookies every time I want and pretty much doing nothing for a week together with my family will be my favorite thing this christmas :)
Merry christmas, Mo!
I can't wait to see my daughter open her new Learning Tower... she's going to flip!
i'm looking forward to seeing my grandmother, i haven't seen her in nearly two years.
I always enjoy so much of CHristmas but this year will enjoy the company of my sister in law who hasn't been able to visit here at CHristmas for 3 years because of all the surgeries she has had. So this year will be especially joyful. Thanks for the chance to win in your giveaway.
I most look forward to being with everyone
I can't wait to have my girls home for Christmas all under one roof!! Thanks for the chance to win your give away!

I like the quiet moments in front of the fire...looking at the glittering tree and sipping hot cocoa with my family : )
cheers!
I love seeing my sister and having our little girls all curled up on the floor together waiting for Santa. Sitting on the couch in the dark drinking a glass of wine and looking at the tree lights and talking. Sigh. 11 days. I can't wait!
Long, leisurely meal with lots of singing.
i love the holiday lights! and i love having to wear long sleeves - in the desert we only get a brief and very mild winter, and i love being cold & drinking cocoa!
thanks for the chance to win!
I always look foreward to our Christmas eve dinner, followed by our Christmas dinner. Oddly enough, these are filled with favorite junk snacks that include easy cheese (sharp cheddar and bacon) and maybe Jones soda. Unconventional? Yes, but every so fun and tasty.
Thanks for the giveaway.
i really enjoy sitting by the tree reading a book or cuddling with my kids.
I look forward to all of the pretty decorations and lights. I think Christmas is one of the pretties holidays around. In addition to that I enjoy the food & spending time with the little family I have left.

I love the new line. I can't wait to get some of those pearls. Winning them would be even better. I have a lot of traditions I like but one of my favorites is reading the Christmas Story with my family before presents.
I love baking cookies with my girls and spending time as a family watcing Christmas movies and sitting in the glow of the tree. Most of all though, I love teaching my kids about the birth of Christ and the reason we celebrate Christmas.
I love decorating the Christmas tree with my husband, baking cookies for our ministry, and enjoying the snow!

Best part of Christmas for me is Christmas dinner with all of the family. Loud, chaotic, & the best day of the year :)
what a wonderful giveaway. I'm looking forward to time off to sew a bit. Work seems to be getting in the way often.
I really look forward to our annual Cousins Christmas Light ride around. We all cram into one car and ride around for hours acting like kids again.
My family really understands that I make all of the Christmas gifts and they clean the house, prepare dinner, and let me sew. It's something that I really look forward to every year.
My favorite part is being with my daughter as she opens her presents. <3 Well, and the food, I won't lie. ;)

Being with family, that's the best.
My most favorite anticipation this year happens to be the birth of my son! I am due sometime in the next few weeks, and have begun to wonder - did Mary feel this yucky when she was about to give birth to her son Jesus?
I look forward to spend time with family and friends
There are so many things I look forward to - being with friends and family, baking and cooking, singing around the Christmas tree, but my absolute favourite is making and giving handmade gifts.

I'm most looking forward to family coming this year. My brother especially! We'll have a great time.

Can't wait to see him running around the house with it on. :D
Thanks for the giveaway & Merry Christmas!

My favorite thing is decorating the christmas tree! It's a tradition with dh and I. Most of our ornaments are from our travels so it's fun to re-live our trips. And he proposed by hiding the ring in an ornament box so it's always special to decorate the tree.

I look forward to time with family and friends. And Christmas lights which I love. But I think my favourite part of the holidays is that time between Christmas and New Years when we're all home but have nothing pressing to do. It's a nice kind of inbetween time.
