This giveaway is now closed.
The first giveaway for November comes to you from one great company and from, well, yours truly. And it also happens to coincide with the next project in the 12 Weeks to Prepare for Christmas series.
Now’s the best time to start working on your holiday card plans. These days, sending digital newsletters or digital cards is the norm, but I still enjoy sending out the tried-and-true snail mail method (though yes, I detest paper clutter). For me, it’s all part of the holiday spirit to take a family photo, address and stamp envelopes, and lovingly display the ones I receive in return.
If you plan to include a family photo in your card this year, take your first shot this week while you’ve still got plenty of time, so that you’re not rushed and have time to try again. And if you’ve collated your address list, you should already know how many cards you need to order. It’ll save you money to order early with some shops, including mine.
Start addressing envelopes now, just a few at a time, and you’ll be golden by early December, when you can mail all your cards in one fell swoop. Keep your address list and envelopes in a convenient location, and write out a few at a time here and there. It’ll be painless.
If you plan on sending out photo cards this year, then I’ve got an chance for you to win some in this giveaway. One reader will win a customized high-resolution digital photo card file of their choice from Chickpea Designs, my graphic design shop. The file is yours to keep forever – you can make as many prints as you want, when you want. In addition, you will receive 10 5×7 prints of your photo card, free.
(And although I’m referring to holiday cards here, I’ve also got baby announcements, save-the-date cards, and birthday invites – any of those designs are eligible for this contest.)
The second addition to the giveaway is from PictureItPostage. You will win two sheets of personalized US postage stamps – simply upload your photo on their site, edit and align it, and voila – stamps with your children (or dog, or hamster, or neighbors) are headed your way.
PictureItPostage also has a hilarious contest going on right now – until November 19, upload your worst holiday photo, whether it be flat-out embarrassing or simply unflattering. Starting December 1, people can vote for their favorite photos – and two grand prize winners will win a new Canon Digital SLR camera and five sets of stamps. Plus, think how entertaining it will be to endlessly peruse horrible photos. Now that’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Here’s how you can win a personalized photo card design, 10 5×7 photo card prints, and 20 personalized postage stamps:
1. For a single entry, simply comment below, and answer this question – what’s your favorite holiday?
2. For a second entry, email me at simplemomblog (at) gmail (dot) com with the secret code in the email’s subject line (no need to write anything in the email’s body, as it won’t be read). To find the secret code, make sure you’ve subscribed to Simple Mom’s feed either via RSS or via email, and look in the footer of any post.
3. For a third entry, mention this giveaway on your blog, and make sure I somehow find out about it.
This giveaway will end on Friday, November 7, midnight CST. I hope you win!

My favorite is Christmas. I get to see family members that I don’t normally see the rest of the year, everyone is in a good mood, and it reminds me of being a little kid again.

By far my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. It is the no pressure holiday of the big holidays. Good food, good friends (family is on another continent), good times.

Thanksgiving, because it is celebrated by most major religions–it’s a very inclusive holiday.
Love your blog!
Fav orite holiday — Thanksgiving. All of the great food and family with a lot less stress over gifts and giving…
Favorite holiday? Christmas, hands down. The joy of the kids on Christmas morning can’t be beat!
Carolyn Fodel’s last blog post…Compassion Bloggers – Dominican Republic
Christmas….its always been a special holiday for my family growing up. Its the one time of year that my husband and I get to see both sides of our families. We live over 5 hours from each of them, so its nice to get to spend time with all (different weekends though). But most importantly, I love Chirstmas because we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus. So Easter is a tie for the favorite holiday too!
Christmas is my favorite for sure! We love birthdays and what could be better than celebrating our Lord’s birth?
Laine Chambers’s last blog post…So good to be back!
My favorite holiday is definitely Christmas. Thanksgiving is a close second. I enjoy all of the traditions my family has created for both holidays and I think that is what makes them both so special to me.
The photo stamps are so cool. What a fun idea.
Oh! I love that red card with the branch on it!
My favorite holiday is Christmas – especially now that I have children. I love all of the history and tradition that are woven into this holiday.

Terra Jones’s last blog post…Another Winner!!
My favorite holiday is Christmas. It always has been and as I have gotten older and had a family of my own, I wanted my children to enjoy the Holiday wtih innocence and realization for the reason why we celebrate this Holiday. I also want them to remember that it’s not about what you get, it is about what you give and what you have already been given.
I added your give-away to the give-away page on my site. (I love give-aways!). http://cupcakesandcrinoline.com/?page_id=360
Christmas! We love to celebrate the birth of the Savior with traditions we’ve made since we’ve been married…28 years worth.
I’ve sent photo Christmas cards since my oldest two were 4 and 2 years old. They are 19 and 17 now plus we have a 6-year-old. I would love to win this! It gets more and more expensive every year, but I just can’t part with the tradition.
Renee
My favorite holiday, probably Christmas. I have a 3 year old and a 6 month old and the magic that comes with that is just awesome!
Bryssy’s last blog post…Happy Halloween!!!
My favorite, yet most difficult holiday is Christmas. I love everything about it. Well, except the fact that we live no where near any of our family and that is such a big part of the holiday for me that it makes me a little sad every year to be so far away. This year though, my parents are buying us plane tickets to fly home with our daughter for Christmas till new years, which will make it all that much more special.
Christmas!
My favourite holiday is Hallowe’en, guess I still have a lot of kid in me!
My favorite holiday is Halloween. I love having fun that holiday is definitely fun!
I do like Christmas, but I am not one who decorates a lot. I like to do something “different” – and if we travel I don’t decorate at all. Last year instead of a regular Christmas tree, we had an orange tree. We’ll plant it in the yard.

Christmas, of course!
Betty Beguiles’s last blog post…Ooey Gooey Goodness
Such a wonderful giveaway! I’ve used photo cards each Christmas for 3 or 4 years now, and they are great time-savers!
Now, my favorite holiday is probably Valentine’s Day. My husband proposed to me on that day 16 years ago, and that experience will always be a special memory for me.

My favorite holiday is actually Christmas. I love the smells, the views, the reason, everything but the hussle and bussle of shopping. I agree, the best way to send out Christmas greetings is through the mail. In an attempt to be the first one to get a Christmas card to me, my sister gave me my first Christmas card on October 30th!
My favorite holiday is Halloween – I’m sad that it’s over.

Oh, it’s definitely Christmas. My husband proposed to me on Christmas morning over homemade pancakes and coffee.
It’s a family tradition that he proposes again every year, only now there’s the additional sound of the tiny hands of our son clapping in the background and the coffee has been traded in for cocoa so we can all enjoy it. Bliss!
I love Christmas!
My favorite Holiday is Christmas.
My favorite Holiday is a tie between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although any holiday spent with my family or my husband’s family is always fun. We enjoy our time with family.
Christmas is my favorite holiday!!!
My favourite holiday is Christmas. It has nothing to do with gifts – I would love the holidays just as much without them – but I love the traditions. I love the tree, the decorations, the snow, the hymns, and I love to bake our Christmas treats, usually starting around now.
I guess my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because we have some great traditions we share as a family.
Christmas… I love seeing all the family.
My favorite holiday is Christmas!
My favorite holiday is Columbus Day…just joking. I LOVE Thanksgiving more than any other holiday. It is the one holiday with no pressure about presents and one with great thankfulness and family time.

Mary’s last blog post…Tell Us About Your Momtourage!
ohh, close call between 4th of July, halloween, and Christmas. But I think christmas because the season lasts so long
I love Easter because it’s in the springtime and we can celebrate new beginnings. It is much nicer to celebrate a holiday that is less stressful and not heavily commercialized.
My favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day oddly enough. Christmas is a close second though.
Thanksgiving!!
I am a huge fan of Thanksgiving… I love the joy of gathering together to share food & fun with our loved ones. I agree with other commenters that it is much less stressful because there are no gifts to purchase! It remains just about being thankful for all our blessings.
I absolutely love Christmastime. I love the baking and preparations that go into making the holiday special for my family. I love spending time with my family and laughing and making memories. But most importantly, I love the true reason for the season–the birth of our Lord and Savior!
I love Thanksgiving. The end of the summer, and what a time to be thankful for all of God’s goodness to us over the past year!
My favorite holiday is Easter–I love decorating the eggs, and of course the egg hunts. Although, I’m especially looking forward to Christmas this year–as it is my son’s first–I think Christmas through a mother’s eyes will give it even more meaning…

I really don’t know what my favorite holiday is. Each one has it’s own traditions that make it special. The New Year is up there though. There’s something about starting fresh and reflecting on the past year (and when I was young, permission to stay up way past your bedtime)… and I love the fireworks.
Another “Christmas” here! = )
My kids birthdays. These classify as holidays in my house!! And I love each and every special day! : )

I’m thinking my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I love all of the cooking, relaxing & spending time with family!
My favorite holiday is definetly Christmas. I love the whole entire month leading up to it.
Definitely Christmas. I love all the excitement, decorating and joy that surrounds winter holidays. It doesn’t matter to me whether people are celebrating Solstice, Hanukkah or Christmas, when everyone gets into the winter holiday spirit lifejust seems better.
Lately it’s definitely Christmas. I work outside the home, and we get that week off, so in addition to the fact that I love the celebration of Christmas, the gathering of family, etc, it is also more relaxed than many of the other holidays for me.
Great giveaway! I have a giveaway going on right now that would make a great Christmas present…

My favorite holiday has always been Christmas. I just love the winter weather, and being with family – and this year, we are expecting our first baby just before Christmas, so it’s going to be an ESPECIALLY exciting holiday for us!
My favorite holiday is Halloween since I have 4 little kids. It’s fun to plan out costumes and make them. They get so excited about it and all the decorations. Plus we coordinate their birthday party theme with our costumes so it’s a couple weeks full of fanfare!
Mindy’s last blog post…Counting Down to Turkey Time
I think the fourth of July oddly – mostly because that is when my family is together the most completely.
Probably Thanksgiving. It’s just so cozy, good food, perfect time of year!
Christmas is definitely my favorite. I love the whole build up, the excitement of the kids, the winter cold, the decorations, the family get-togethers, choosing gifts and seeing the delight on people’s faces when they open them, the whole thing!

Favorite holiday is easily Christmas for us. Although we just love holidays in general … any reason to celebrate is good to us!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. The very special reason is that my only child was born on Thanksgiving day in 1997. She is the reason…..the reason. It has and always be my most sacred and favorite holiday whether it actually falls on her birthday that specific year. This year it does, and I’m so very excited about it.
Thanks for the special offer

Stephanie’s last blog post…Best Daddy Ever!
Thanksgiving is my fave, although we are trying hard to make Christmas less stressful and complicated, so it’s a runner up!
thanksgiving..there is just something about my grandmother’s old recipes and the (hopefully) cool, crisp air and the colors of fall…it just always feels like home no matter where i am.
It’s a toss up, I love the family togetherness and fellowship of Thanksgiving but I love seeing all our friends and family’s faces when they open the gifts I carefully and thoughtfully choose for them. On second thought, it’s probably the day AFTER both of those days-all the hustle and bustle is done and I can sit back and relish all the memories with no stress!
Couldn’t wait to let everyone know about this great giveaway! =)
Kimberli’s last blog post…Christmas Card/Stamps***A Great Giveaway!
For us as a family we so enjoy celebrating Passover and Hanukkah! I grew up celebrating Christmas, which was always very special, but now that my husband, children and I live in Israel we dont find ourselves celebrating it as before. Passover and Hanukkah are fun-filled feasts for the kids, and they both still hold meaning for us. We havent forgotten about the ‘true meaning’ of Christmas though! we daily remember the Lord Jesus in coming to this earth and dying for us.
Thank you so much for this site.. i have found it to be SUCH a blessing to me and my household.. particually the organizing topics. SO thanks so much!
Amy Salinger’s last blog post…Uncle Matty and Aunty Nic are here!!
hands down, my favorite holiday is Christmas. celebrating the Lord’s birthday, getting together with friends & family, seeing the delight in my son’s eyes as he opens special gifts, our candlelight service on Christmas Eve… i detest what stores and corporations have made of Christmas, but at the very heart of what it is, i love that holiday.
Krista’s last blog post…Infertility Awareness Week
My favorite holiday has always been Thanksgiving, but now that we have two small kids I think my favorite holiday is Christmas. I can’t wait to share new traditions with them.
Beth’s last blog post…Me?
I’m Jewish and my husband was raised Catholic, so we celebrate Chrismakkah. Our favorite holiday activity is setting up our hot pink tree and decorating it with sparkly dreidl ornaments.
By and large, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. It comes without all the pressure of Christmas and allows families to just be, and be together. It also reminds us to take time to be thankful for our blessings, and these days, it’s easy to forget to give thanks.
LOVE those cards. i usually email cards (since i like to be green… and cheap)! but love those and would totally mail those out!

hands down Christmas, I love the smells, colors and the family time.
CHRISTMAS IS MY MOST FAVORITE HOLIDAY. Everyone seems to be a bit more kind during that time of year!
Thanksgiving is hands down my favorite holiday. Although I dread the days of cooking and preparation, I love being around a table of family and friends and watching them enjoy the fruits of my labor. It also a deeply reflective time for me, in which I take time to think of all things and people I am grateful for.

Christmas, definitely! Cold outside, cheery inside, warm sweaters, hot cocoa…
I recently figured out the secret code thing in Google – for me, I usually just click the title of the blog and it takes me to the actual page. But if you click on the expand button (looks like a plus sign) and read it through Google’s page, there’s a RSS feed code at the bottom. Don’t know if that works for all Google users (not computer literate enough, I guess) but I hope that helps!
Christmas is by far my favorite!! Love your site.

My favorite holiday is definitely Christmas. You just can’t beat it. So many great traditions and being able to get together with family is such a blessing.
Thanksgiving is far and away my favorite holiday. No pressure to give gifts, just friends and family getting together to eat really good food. As a kid I got to stay up late and be a part of the grown-ups’ world. The next day, I got to eat pumpkin pie for breakfast!

Well, I thought I might be original, but look at all the posts! I have to say that I really enjoy Christmas. Wasn’t always the case, and sometimes all the commercializing gets to me, but I love what the true meaning is. A close second is Easter.
I’m enjoying your blog; keep up the great work!
Mardis Gras. Family, parades, silly costumes, beads … and the food. What a great way to start the season of Lent
I have to admit, Christmas is my favorite! Thanks for the chance to win this great prize!

My favorite season is definitely winter! I love the baking and the holidays and the snow.
Oops, I was supposed to do a fave holiday not season . . . sorry. Christmas is my first fave followed by Easter.
Christmas! It always has been and will be….it’s just so cozy!

I love Thanksgiving. I love cooking and having family and friends come together. Now that I have a little baby, I’m looking forward to creating our own traditions with all the holidays!
Since I had my daughter last year my favorite holiday is Christmas. I’m looking forward to all the Santa gifts and sharing the excitement of the season with her. Last Christmas she was less then 3 weeks old so while this Christmas technically isn’t her first, it will be the first where she is aware of what is going on. I am really looking forward to it.
I also posted about your giveaway on my blog. I also subscribe, but I can never find the secret codes. It’s very frustrating.

I love Thanksgiving too. I love the tradition that it’s steeped in and I love that it’s a purely Christian holiday with no pagan roots.
Thanks for a realistic aproach to simplifing things around my house!

Favorite holiday? As a history teacher, I have to say, July 4th! Plus, nothing beats barbecues at the beach with friends and family and watching fireworks! It was not until living in another country that I came to love and appreciate this patriotic holiday.
Fun giveaway! I was really leaning toward not sending Christmas cards—-but now I’m in with these great designs and fun postage! Thanks

Thanksgiving!
Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love the lights and getting together with my family!
definitely a toss-up between thanksgiving and christmas (i just love the whole season from nov. 1 through jan.2) but thanksgiving is very special in our family. my mother has 5 siblings, and their mom and dad (my grandparents) passed away when my mom and her siblings were all in their teens and twenties. therefore, christmas was never a time that we saw my mom’s side of the family as everyone dispersed to their respective in-laws. so when i was young, my mom started the tradition of having all her siblings and their families to our house for thanksgiving (5 siblings x catholicism = a BIG thanksgiving crowd). this was always such a magical time of being with my cousins, making up thanksgiving plays to perform for the adults, 15 kids sleeping in one room, telling ghost stories. now, 20 years later…the tradition still stands. every thanksgiving siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, and now THEIR families, travel from around the country and congregate at my parents house in rural pennsylvania. last year the table was set for 30. our children will soon be putting on the thanskgiving plays for us. and it’s still magical.
Erin’s last blog post…happy day before november 1!
Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday. I love all of the many traditions, time spent with family and all of the yummy food!!
I have two, 6 months apart: 4th of July & Christmas!
Since becoming a parent, I can’t decide which I love more-the celebration of thanksgiving or Christmas. In a pinch, I would absolutely choose Christmas, as it is the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thanksgiving holds such a special meaning for us as we are concentrating on teaching our almost 3 year old daughter about gratitude and having a thankful heart.

I love Halloween! Candy and costumes baby!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving (though like your first commenter, Christmas is rapidly catching up with it as we make conscious decisions about how to celebrate).
But Thanksgiving is non-denominational, all inclusive, is a foodie’s Superbowl, brings home far-flung relatives, brings together friends and family, takes place during my favorite time of year, involves a lot of excitement around football…and involves no gifts!
I’m a new reader here, and I didn’t realize that you did holiday cards and other products. I love them!
Christmas of course!! I absolutely love decorating and seeing my family…and its the time of year I make my wonderful coffee truffles!!!
I think it would have to be thankgiving. No worrying about buying presents. It just a time to share with family
my favorite holiday is my son’s birthday. for a number of reasons. one is i get to see how much we both have growen in seven years (11-18-01) and remember where i was seven years ago. everyone gets together for it. he is an only grandchild so it is a BIG occasion.
My favorite holiday is Christmas. It seems it is the only time I can the whole family together all year. It doesn’t get any better than that! Thanks!
I absolutely love Christmas! Not only is it my Birthday but it’s a great family holiday. We love to get together for decoration, celebrating and memories!
My favorite holiday, by a landslide, is Christmas!
My favorite holiday is Christmas because it brings all the family together… Great time to celebrate.
Christmas is definitely my favorite. I love snow, Christmas music, hot cocoa, twinkly lights, giving gifts to others, and the list goes on! What a great giveaway! Thanks for sharing.

My favorite holiday is Christmas – always has been. I love to decorate, I love spending time with my family, I love the food and I love giving!!
Christmas!Christmas!Christmas!
christmas is my favorite. I love to decorate both the inside and outside of my home
My fave is Easter. My sister’s family comes for a visit and it is a chance for all of the cousins to hang out together for a long weekend. It is the only holiday that only revolves around our immediate family and does not require all that much preparation!
My fave holiday is Christmas

My favorite holiday has to be Christmas – not so much the rush and fuss but the family time spent enjoying each other! Thanks for the great give-away.

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Everyone together, the fall, the food.

Tori Ryan’s last blog post…Happy Halloween!
I love Thanksgiving! For my family, we have more time together and it is not as hectic as Christmas… so we can relax, eat, and be thankful!
I actually have 2 favorite holidays! I love Christmas and I also love Halloween! I love the hustle and bustle and decorations and sights and and sounds and smells of both! I love picking out and giving gifts! I love looking at Christmas lights and the smell of a live Christmas tree, even though I no longer get a live one. I love creating costumes for Halloween and most always made my sons costumes as he was growing up. And I still love dressing up in a costume myself, if I can. I love decorating my house for both holidays and each year I add something new to my decorations, even though I have way more then enough decorations. And most of all, I love being able to celebrate these holidays with my family and friends!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. There is no music, no gifts, and few decorations. It is centered around family, food, and thankfulness. It is a necessity to me to celebrate Thanksgiving and recall the countless blessings of the year, before preparing for the birth of Christ through the season of Advent, and celebrating Christmas starting on December 25 and lasting for 12 days!
I love Christmas!! It’s so amazing to see the joy in my children’s faces on Christmas morning.
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Just like Christmas, but without the stress of gifts.

Christmas takes the cake for me. I just love seeing all of our family and watching the kids eyes light up with all the wonder and excitement that Christmas brings.
Amy Lemaniak’s last blog post…21 Weeks!
My favorite holiday is Christmas, because I’m a big fan of the music. But I like it only in the month of December…none of this starting Christmas before Halloween stuff. Plus, I get to celebrate the birth of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which is the best gift of all!
Nicoleigh’s last blog post…Blogging Layout Fun
Christmas is my favorite Holiday. Not just because family is all together, but that I get to show them how much I love them and appreciate them with the gifts I give. I don’t always buy things either, I try to make things with the person in mind. I love Christmas and all the lights and decorations, and the reason behind the Holiday is why I love it the best. Thanks for the chance!
Baba’s last blog post…OOOO Lands End!
Christmas love seeing my kids faces when they get something they like
Christmas is my favorite holiday, as I love the scenery, the music and the smells of holiday goodies cooking.
I sure do love the Christmas spirit! I love to be out and about with all the holiday music, great shopping deals, and finding that perfect gift.
And..I also love Valentine’s Day. It’s a great day to spend loving everyone else. Bonus if you feel the love back!
I love all holidays-a day off work. But my favorite is Halloween. I love that time of the year with the rustling leaves and the bonfires. And I love to dress up my little goblins. My oldest daughter is 14 and still dresses up every year. Are we crazy or what?
My favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day. I love all the hearts and the sweet cards you get. It is for all ages.
My favorite holiday is Christmas even though I stress out about it for months, but it is all worth it to see my kids full of smiles and laughs on Christmas morning.
My favorite holiday…Christmas. No contest.
I think my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. You get to see close family, but there’s not the stress of sending cards, exchanging gifts or visiting everyone. Oh, and the food! I love the smell of turkey roasting in the oven…

My favorite is Christmas – nothing like the kids excitement on Christmas morning!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving! It’s a relaxing holiday (once all of the cooking is done). Then after dinner we all sit down together and go through the Black Friday sales ads and prep for the big shopping day!
I love the whimsy of Halloween!
My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love the sights, smells, and sounds of the holiday. I LOVE spending time with my family. I love to see the smiles on the faces of my children when they get to open their presents. It’s a beautiful time of year with all of the lights and the sparkle of the ornaments and gift wrap. It is just a wonderful time of year.
It used to be Christmas but I’m definitely leaning towards Thanksgiving this year. All the family togetherness and good food without the pressure and stress.
My favorite holiday is definetly Christmas. I love seeing all of my family!
I must say that I absolutely love Thanksgiving! So much good food and time spent with family!
My favorite holiday is Christmas because it helps us to focus, as a nation, on the real reason for the season. Plus, it also helps that it is my birthday as well!
My favorite holiday has always been Christmas! If I could call the entire winter season my favorite holiday, I would. But to just pick one, Christmas would have to be it. I love the atmosphere, the music, the lights, decorating the tree, Christmas candles, being cozy, hot chocolate, Christmas parties, giving gifts, getting up early on Christmas day, still being anxious about opening my stocking.. The list could go on and on..

My favorite holiday is definitely Christmas.
O love to spend time with my family getting out all the decorations and putting them up. Its a very special holiday and family time matters a lot to me so It makes this holiday very special for me. All the great Holiday times for Christmas start the weekend of Thanksgiving.
Favorite holiday would definitely be Christmas because I love giving and receiving presents!
I adore Christmas! I start getting excited about the shopping, the food, the lights, etc. around mid- to late October!
There’s just something about the holiday that screams TOGETHERNESS and warmth!
Well, my favorite holiday just passed by, Halloween. I enjoy all the kids coming by in their costumes and we like to dress up 2.
my favorite holiday has to be.. hands down christmas. i have always loved this time of the year and now that i have t 2 children ages 3 and 5 it is even more fun than before. I’m sure I’m not the only one that has felt the beginnings of this rough economic time but that will not keep us from celebrating the most important thing about this wonderful holiday, family!! I am most looking forward to my husband playing like he is santa claus as he walks through our attic. we have a 3 and a 5 year old who think they hear santa on our roof!!
My favorite holiday is Christmas. I think I love looking forward to it as much as I do the actual day!
Love this giveaway! We love Christmas now with the kids! It is so fun to see the excitement through their eyes and to pass on traditions.
Christmas is my favorite holiday because it is also my birthday!!!
Christmas is certainly my favorite holiday. And ever since I was little, I have been up late on Christmas Eve, finishing handmade gifts.
Heather’s last blog post…I voted!
My favorite holiday is Christmas. It isn’t about the presents. It is about Jesus Christ’s birth and celebrating it with family. It is the one time of the year that people make that extra effect to get together.
I love everything about Christmas!
Thanksgiving! I truly love being with family in the fall stuffing myself like a turkey and just enjoying the day with my family!
My favorite holiday by far is Halloween!
My favorite holiday is definitely Christmas, I love getting together with family and holiday baking and just how much fun all of the kids have.
My favorite holiday has always been Christmas. Between all the time off from school/work, and making time for family – and especially all the special traditional goodies our family eats. As corny as it sounds, there’s just something magical about it!
Stacy’s last blog post…
Christmas is by far my favorite. Growing up my family never really did much celebrating so I like to go all out. Well, as all out as our budget will allow. I love it all … the decorations, the cooking, the baking, the shopping, the presents (giving and receiving). There isn’t much I don’t love – maybe just the clean up.
Definitely Christmas! Especially this year because it is our first Christmas with our little one.
Jessica’s last blog post…Just a normal Tuesday…
My favorite holiday is Christmas. My kids are just fascinated by Santa. The expressions are priceless Christmas morning. I also love the joy of seeing family and the exchanging of gifts.
Hands down my favorite holiday is Christmas!!! I am just like a kid myself, loving all the excitement and surprises! I love being able to give to others–it brings so much more joy than receiving!!

christmas is by far my favorite holiday…as my family has grown up (the kids are a whopping 6 now!) there are several traditions that we’ve started that I love to repeat every year. we spend a lot of time with our extended family (both grandmas, 3 aunts, 1 uncle and 1 cousin) and this year we are starting the Jesse Tree…can’t wait!

My favorite holiday hands down is Mother’s Day. I love that since my daughters are still babies, my husband still goes out and buys gifts from each of them and hand makes mother’s day cards to me from them and has them somehow “sign” them–whether its a sticky fingerprint or drool spots haha.
CHRISTMAS!!! Hands-down choice! I love the season–not as nippy in AZ as I would like, but better than August!, the music, the lights, the get-togethers, the family-time, cutting down the tree, the giving, the attitudes, and most of all…the whole reason for our celebration…the CHRIST in Christmas.
Thanks!

Christmas
the music, the food, the family time, decorations, Jesus’ birth – all of it!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Its become a family tradition in my house for my children to help prepare the meal. My girls love baking pumpkin pies and my husband always works magic with the turkey.
I really love Christmas. I don’t get into the presents that much, but I love all the traditions like Christmas Eve service at church, making cookies to give away and the ornament exchange I host every year for my friends.
My favorite holiday is by far Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day. Why? Because of the wonderful tradition we started after my youngest was born.
It always seemed Christmas Day was a “run here, run there” kind of day to see family members. The Christmas after my daughter was born I said, “Enough!”. And so our new tradition began.
Christmas Eve night each family members opens 3 special gifts. A new book to enjoy (had for little ones to appreciate a good book with so many toys to choose from on Christmas), comfy new pajamas and an ornament to hang on the tree to signify a favorite moment or hobby started that year. Then it’s off to midnight service at our church.
On Christmas morning, we get up and get “dressed” in our new pajamas and hang out all day listening to Christmas music, watching Christmas movies or playing board games. Our usual meal is a buffet-style of everyones favorite hors d’oeuvres along with a big kettle of my hot ‘n spicy chicken soup.
All the family is invited to stop by for a casual affair, but normally we’ve celebrated with them sometime before Christmas day.
I wouldn’t trade this tradition for anything because I know during all the hustle and bustle of November and December my immediate family and I are going to have a relaxing Christmas Eve and Christmas Day together. I mean, who can’t be relaxed in a new pair of pajamas eating their favorite snack?
Christmas is the best by far!!! Everything about it. So many opportunities for traditions, which I love!
christmas thats the only time our family gets together
Christmas is my favorite holiday.
Thanks!
My favorite holiday is Christmas, of course!

Favorite holiday = Halloween! I love all the costumes and candy
I’d have to say New Year’s Eve. It’s the eve of the day for a chance to start a year with a clean slate. Plus you get to celebrate all crazy with friends & family. We like to make tamales. yum!
My favorite holiday is definitely Thanksgiving–I just love fall. But Christmas is close. Maybe even the whole month before Christmas. If only it wasn’t in wintertime it might be my favorite!
This would be lovely!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, a relaxing time to just eat and visit, and remember what we are thankful for. For our family the hustle and bustle just fades into the background and we thoroughly enjoy having friends and family over.
I love the fourth of July! No gifts, no stress, just good times and usually good weather. Fireworks are also a great way to end the day!
Though I’m tempted to say St. Patrick’s Day (since it’s my birthday and all), I’m going to have to go with Christmas. It’s the only holiday where I get to spend the ENTIRE day with our relentlessly huge family. I LOVE it.

My favorite holiday has to be Thanksgiving….the whole family is around and it’s not about buying presents and stressing out. It’s about having fun and time with family.
My favorite holiday is Christmas. It’s a time of family and togetherness that somehow manages to be about more than the gifts.
Favorite holiday is definitely Christmas. I love the snowy weather, the tree, the egg nog and cider, the excitement of seeing my dd open something she loves. We do a morning present opening with just our immediate family, hubby and DD and I, then, my parents join us for brunch. They go home in the afternoon so we can all settle for a nap, and then they join us for a dinner later that night. It’s perfect, and I can’t wait.
My favorite holiday is Christmas. It is just so good to be with family and to make the house all warm and cozy with all the decorations.
My favorite holiday is Easter! But I love Christmas too!
My favorite holiday is Christmas Eve. It was a day to always get together with both sides of the family and really get to enjoy one another. There would be lots of food, laughs, and egg nog drinking. We all got to open one present after dessert. After the guests left my family would exchange matching pj’s to wear to bed…such memories!
My favorite holiday is Christmas. It is the time we remember the birth of our savior. It is a time to see family I havent seen all year long! It is a time to enjoy giving a little something to those who are special to me. It is the time that I think about showboxes being sent all over the world full of gifts and the Gospel. I love the decorations and the Chrismtas music… I love everything about CHRISTmas.

Christmas and more so now than ever now that I am a Mommy!
Advent! The whole season leading up to Christmas is just SUCH a wonderful way to really THINK about meanings and creating/keeping traditions…
Thanksgiving. No dressing up, no religious obligations…just family, friends and food
Easter is my favorite holiday. Good Friday reminds me to be humble; Easter Sunday reminds me to be hopeful.

Amie’s last blog post…Welcome Theodore Brian!
My favorite holiday is Christmas because it is the only time my entire family is together, which is especially important this year with my brother being deployed to Iraq and my uncle returning from there (he comes home Dec.23rd, yay!). It is also a beautiful time of year when the true kindness and generosity of people is exemplified.
Thanksgiving. We have nice relaxed visits with family, without the stress of giving the “perfect” gift.
Of course, my favorite holiday is Christmas — if only for the chance to send out photos of my adorable boys (and my husband and me, too) and reconnect with friends who are far too far-flung. Love your cards; thanks for the opportunity to win some!
Christmas is my favorite–we get up early at my house and cook a big breakfast since our children are older. We wait to open presents until after we eat to increase the anticipation, much like when they were younger!
Christmas is my favorite. Nothing compares to the excitement of children on Christmas morning. I love it!
I have 2 favorite holidays, Easter & Christmas All my family gets together since we dont see each other often.

My favorite holiday is Christmas; I love seeing my kids faces on Christmas Day!
Thanksgiving because we ALL take the day of and celebrate. The only truly American holiday. And no big expectations or let-downs.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it is a time for friends and family! There are no gifts to buy or running around- just eating, laughing and getting in a nap or two!

I would have to say Christmas (although I’m a celebrate-as-many-holidays-as-possible kind of mom) for multiple reasons:
-it’s a great way to celebrate Jesus in a tangible way with our kids
-it lasts longer than one day or one meal
-I love watching my kids enjoy it
-love the food and music associated with it
Hands down – Christmas. I love everything that goes with it. Great contest. Thanks.

My fave is Christmas, my family never celebrated it when I was growing up and I always felt sad, now I have my own family and its so special.
Of course Christmas is my favorite. Nothing beats the reason of celebration, and to be with family in a warm house while it’s cold outside.

My favorite Holiday is Christmas!
My family and I love christmas! We enjoy all the extra love and happiness that fills the air!
Hands down, Christmas, just a wonderful feeling of joy around the tree with the fire going and the snow falling outside. With three little boys, the look in their faces as they come down the stairs to their stockins is priceless. The meaning of togetherness for our family is something I hope they will carry on to the their own families one day. Yipee, tis’ the season! Thanks!
Hands down Christmas! I love the family time and the baking and all the things that go with it!
Although, I’m not a fan of winter, I do love Christmas. I love picking out special and unique gifts for family and friends!
Jamie’s last blog post…yes we did!
I love the fourth of July (or Independence Day). We live in an area where fireworks are legal and it is better than any show I’ve been to! Lighting them, the smell, the noise, the beauty-great fun!!!
My favorite holiday is Christmas. This is the one time each year that I know my entire family will be together! Knowing that my 3 year old son will have the chance to be around his grandparents and great-grandma at Christmas means a lot to me, and one day, it’ll mean more to him.
Christmas and the 4th of July involve family and traditions. Two favorites.
My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love to decorate the house. The sights, smells and sounds are the best! Candles are always lit, and snow outside makes everything perfect. I always have my family over, and that gathering is the best part!
Christmas!
thank you for making my life a little more lighter. You have such a giving heart. Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. No presents to buy, no stress, just a lovely meal with people you love.
My favorite holiday would have to Christmas. It’s such a nostalgic and beautiful time of the year…everything about it–church, food, songs–vibrates with life and color!
I love thanksgiving!
I absolutely love Christmas…but it wouldn’t mean anything without Easter later!
My favorite holiday is Christmas, I just love the whole nostalgia that goes with it.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Christmas…church, decorations, food, songs….this holiday just vibrates with color and appreciation!
My favorite holiday is 4th of July! I love the warmth, the fireworks, and the friendship that always goes along with this great summertime tradition.
Favorite holiday used to be Christmas but it’s now Mother’s Day b.c I’m a mother of two boys.
Very special day for mommy.
I ‘d have to say my favorite holiday is Christmas, with Halloween following closely second! I know…the difference is vast in many ways, but I love the traditions associated with each!

Today, Christmas is my favorite holiday.
Definitely Christmas. Our church has a huge outdoor living Nativity that is free for the community and has blessed our family every year as we remember what God has done for us through sending his son Jesus in the most miraculous way!
My favourite holiday is definitely Christmas!!!

Nancy’s last blog post…October Wrap Up
My favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day! Pink, hearts, flower, jewelry, and love! What more can I ask for?
Easter-it is when the earth wakes up and begins again(spring)-when miracles happen-comes alive!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. All of the delicious food, surrounded by family, but none of the pressure and stress of Christmas.
Corina’s last blog post…updates coming soon.
Thanksgiving, hands down……….good food, family, football and NO GIFT OBLIGATIONS!! New Years Day comes in second
Karyn’s last blog post…The Secret is out!
Favorite holiday is Christmas hands down.
I love the holidays!! I love gettting together with family members that we might not see during the year! I loved it with the kids were much younger and to enjoys the looks on their faces! I love to decorate our whole house for Christmas.
Thanksgiving. I love that the weather is still autumnal and the family is all together. There is NO focus on gifts, just on gratitude and love (and food!).
It’s a toss up between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love the time of the year, and it’s the two holidays that we see the most family!
My favorite holiday is Christmas because now my kids are old enough to really start getting into it and enjoy the true meaning. It’s so awesome!
Angie’s last blog post…A Tempting Offer
I love Christmas. It is for the love of the family getting together and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. That is the meaning of Christmas. It is not for the gifts or the food. It is only for one person. His name is Jesus. God Bless you.
Thanksgiving. Good food, family and the excitement of Christmas ahead…
Hands down fav holiday is Christmas. Can’t help but get caught up in the lights, smells, music, fellowship and true meaning of the blessed season.
Jenny’s last blog post…Coffee Time
My favorite holiday by far is Christmas! I love all the preparation and shopping and most of all the birthday party we have for Jesus.
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I think it stems from when I was “nesting” with baby #1 around that time and I loved finding recipes and planning the party. This year it will be my sons first holiday and I’m so looking forward to being able to chow down and not be pregnant anymore!

I love halloween!
My favorite holiday was always July 4th. But it turns out that my daughter was born on July 4th, and her “special day” has kind of taken over what I’ve always loved doing on the 4th. Yes, we go see fireworks and sometimes a parade, but she has specific ideas about her favorite foods for her birthday, and barbeque ribs or burgers (my first choice) or a crab/lobster bake (my second choice) isn’t it. So we now get to eat pizza on the 4th, and I get to look for a new favorite holiday!
Christmas is definitely my favorite. Snow, hot cocoa, lights, presents, music. The music!!! The cards, the getting back in touch with family & friends!
Sara’s last blog post…It’s all about the love
Halloween is my favorite. For one day of the year you can be whoever/whatever you want.
I’ve always loved Christmas most. When I was younger it was, of course, for the presents. And also because all 6 of us kids would sleep together, mostly trying to catch Santa. Now I love Christmas even more because of those special memories and I love seeing the joyful faces of my kids.
Now that I have kids, Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love to watch their faces and it is great to get all of the family together (which doesn’t happen as much on the other holidays).
Love, Love, Love Christmas!
My favorite is Christmas–it’s close to my birthday!
Christmas is the best!
I’m lovin Christmas!
My favorite holiday has been and always will be Christmas. No ifs, ands or buts! The sights, the sounds (LOVE the music), the smells, the tastes, the weather! Oh! Just faboo (that’s my new way of saying ‘fabulous’)!
Heather’s last blog post…What is my deal?
Christmas is my favorite! Just a beautiful time of year.
Thanksgiving is my favorite. A long weekend with the holiday at the beginning so, once the meal is served, I can relax and enjoy a clean house and leftovers for four days… of course there is the craziness leading up to the meal but I seem to be getting better at that planning thing. =)

Wow, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. My 10th great grandfather, John Alden was aboard the Mayflower and the true name has been passed down all these generations and now ends at my father (he had girls) . Although I did take the Alden name as my middle name when I got married. Our family has such a rich history though Thanksgiving that our Thanksgivingings are special every year. We even started a Thanksgiving thankful book, where everyone says what they are thankful for in a journal…. it’s fun to look back and see the entries from years past.
Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love to see my family and enjoy a meal with everyone.
Melinda’s last blog post…Back by Popular Demand
Definitely Christmas! More so this year becaue we are a family of three.
Christmas!
We love Thanksgiving. We head to the mountains with my husbands HUGE family and spend several days together. It is a blast!
Christmas is definitely my favorite!
Christmas is my favorite for sure because I get to see family I miss the rest of the year!
Christmas!
Phew…thought I was too late to enter!
Definitely Christmas. Can’t beat the smell of the Christmas tree while singing Christmas carols and opening gifts! Plus I get to see family on both my mom and dad’s side with family cookie bakes and our Christmas eve celebration.
Halloween is my favorite holiday becaues it’s the most fun with the least pressure. I love the silly crafts with the kids and changing their look with each Fall Festival we attend. We pack in the fun, but it never feels pressured like the fancier holidays. Obviously, this has nothing to do with which holiday means the most to me. That would be Easter!
Definitely Christmas – I love the anticipation it brings with it, the family it draws together, and the way it causes me to ponder the miracle of Christ coming to this earth.
I do love Christmas, but the QUIET moments of the holiday that we have fostered as a family–hot chocolate in the glow of Christmas tree lights being my absolute favorite!
My favorite Holiday is Christmas. Now that I have kids I see the spirit of the holiday thru their eyes. Especially x-mas morning when Santa been to the house and ate their cookies and milk they leave for him.
Thanks
Christmas is definitely my favorite! Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite holiday is Christmas, because I get to spend time with my family and I love to see my child’s face light up so early in the morning waking me up to open his presents.
Christmas…when we aren’t in the US, honestly. I enjoy the fact that it kind of sneaks up on you. There’s not a lot of hype or crowds at the mall. It’s fun to celebrate Jesus’ birth and enjoy the kids without being exhausted from 6 weeks of parties and activities before the holiday. Sometimes we even make our cookies on Dec. 25!
Hmmm, I think my favorite holiday has to be the 4th of July. I love the warm weather, the family cook-outs, and the annual parade that we always go to see. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Christmas is my favorite holiday!!
I LOVE Christmas time!
Christmas is, by far, my favorite holiday! I just love being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior with my family. I love the light in my children’s eyes on Christmas morning. I love to see the twinkling lights in the windows of homes. I love it all!
obviously christmas is my favorite holiday. halloween has always come a close second, but you can’t top the combination of lots of family, cookies, brunch, presents, and carols!
Definitely Christmas! Thanks for the giveaway!
Christmas is my favorite! I love the traditions, decorations, and most of all the meaning of the holiday! Thanks!
It’s a toss up between Christmas and Thanksgiving. I just love this time of year!
I just love holidays with their traditions and bringing families together. If I had to choose, I’d say Christmas.
Christmas is my favorite holiday by far. It’s the one day a year when {almost} everything slows down and a family can just enjoy being together!
My favorite holiday is Christmas, always puts everyone in a a joyful mood. Someone will be very lucky to win this giveaway!

Hands down, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Not for the food, although that is good, but because of what it represents – gratitude for the many blessings in our lives.
Lindsey’s last blog post…(In)Credible News
