My favorite Christmas tradition is St. Nicholas. On the night of Dec. 5, we hang up stockings and in the morning, there is fun stuff in them for the kids. (the original tradition was putting out the wooden shoes to fill, but we have none here) An orange, some candy, little trinkets, maybe socks. Somehow, the kids have no expectations and it is just fun.
My favorite tradition is helping my mom make the cornucopia for Thanksgiving dinner. It's great bonding time, and it's been a yearly event since I was a little girl.
I love Christmas morning breakfast! It was a tradition that I had with my family growing up and now one I share with my husband!
Although it sounds chaotic (and it is), my favorite tradition is visiting 4-5 different Thanksgiving celebrations throughout the day. Having divorced parents, with all family local, means I get to see different families on Thanksgiving. Its nice to just spend a bit of time with each one (not too much!) ;) and is a reminder of how grateful I am for my families.
I'm a fan of Christmas, but an even bigger fan of Christmas Eve! I love that anticipation that builds all day, the delicious food and treats and then having a quiet night sitting around as a family reading the Christmas story. It's the best!
Every year on Christmas Eve, my husband's family gets together and has a dollar gift exchange in which we fight over which wrapped dollar gift we will get to keep. It's always funny to see what the most coveted gifts end up being (often just a slinky!).
Love seeing your pics pop up in Instagram! My fav tradition has to be when my mom bakes me pumpkin pie instead of a birthday cake in October. I won't eat any other pumpkin pie, it's the best!!
I too, am obsessed with Instagram! Thanks for sharing your pictures!
oops, I forgot to mention one of my favorite traditions, sorry!
My friends and I love halloween, we love walking around certain neighborhoods and checking out all the decorations!
I love everything about Thanksgiving. The cooking, the smells, the eating the football and the nap!
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is watching the marathon of 'A Chrismas Story' a bazillion times! love that movie!
I love Easter Egg Hunts! Love the sight of little ones frolicking with their baskets, giddy with joy at each discovery.
Thanksgiving is so stress free for me! My mom cooks her fabulous meal and my immediate family come and we eat and have a great time! It is stressful for my mom, but we all know she loves it! I do help her cook just so it doesn't sound like we don't do anything :) hee hee!!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Saw your scrap room and it is amazing!!!!
My fave hoiday tradition is making gingerbread houses with the kids. The kids love it, and I love the cute and crazy photos I get to take.

Love your design room. My favorite Christmas Tradition is our Book advent countdown calendar. I wrap 25 Christmas themed books and place under the tree every night my son picks one out, unwraps it and that is our bedtime story for the evening.
oops my email is AZalexius@gmail.com
I love many of the wonderous traditions of Christmas such as putting up the Christmas tree on December 1st, watching my kids opening the advent calander every day, carols on Christmas Eve and the big family lunch on the day.
I love the Christmas dinner with all my family.
My favorite tradition would have to be driving around looking at Christmas lights with hot cocoa with our girls...we have been doing this with them since they were little.

ps. Love the peek into your life in instagrams!
I love being the mashed potato maker on Thanksgiving - actually, I just really love Thanksgiving. It's my fave holiday! Great giveaway - love Ormolu's products :)
i would have to say my favorite tradition is the entire countdown of the whole month, from watching all the holiday shows, to planning times to pick a tree, decorate, go see lights, get pictures with santa-- counting down && then doing pages in hindsight is just my favorite :]

I love Christmas! Love seeing my kids wake up with anticipation to look under the Christmas tree! Love to see their little faces full of joy when they finally get what they e asked for all year!

My favorite Christmas tradition is on Christmas Eve. Before opening gifts, we all gather around the tree and my mom reads the Christmas story from the Bible. We did this as kids and now our kids are the ones gathered around her as she reads. It's something that we've done as long as I can remember!
Thanks for the chance to win!
The evening i look forward to all year is dec 6 - sami chlaus comes to visit. Its about the decorating, the traditional food, the small gifts, the stories the children recite and the songs they have to sing to sami chlaus and of course being together with good friends. Thanks for the chace to win some flair...
I just love Christmas Eve. It is a holiday that is always spent with my immediate family at my mom’s house. We may not always be together on Christmas but we are on Christmas Eve.
Love to see the kids eyes for Christmas, and cook for the ones I love.
love your photos Stephanie.
Fun photos! Gotta love that one with the Holmes pipe! My favorite holiday is Christmas, and my favorite tradition is getting to spend it with my family (doesn't happen every year)......we have so much fun together <3
