  1. Your room looks lovely, Jillian! I would love to enter. My favorite thing about Christmas is being with my family! I moved out a year ago from my parent's house and since then, I have just missed their company so much. This Christmas, all my older siblings that have also their own places, are all going to be in one house again as a family.

    Merry Christmas to you sweetie! maytagger8819@gmail.com

  2. Happy Holidays! Thanks for the contest!
    The best thing about Christmas is spending time with my parents. Usually they are very busy or too tired from work.
    Merry Christmas!

  3. Yay, another xmas lover! I love everything about the holidays: the snow, the smell, the music, meeting my family+friends. But my fav thing about xmas is that my mom and I bake cookies, and for a whole day it looks like Santa's fabric in our kitchen:DOn that day I always eat so many different types of cookies, that I got stomachache, but the fun is definitely worth it:)
    Wish you Happy Holidays and a beautiful Christmas!xoxo

  4. Well, my favorite thing about Christmas would probably be the decoration. I mean, decorating the Christmas tree and all. It's so pretty! Also, giving presents make me feel great... As much as receiving some, too. I love, love, love it. Being with my family and meeting other family members or friends that I haven't seen for a long time is awesome as well. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway, Jill. Merry Christmas!

  5. First of all, happy blog birthday...a little early!

    I am a true Christmas fanatic. I love all things Christmas, which is why I have a year round Christmas blog (http://christmasspirit-truebookaddict.blogspot.com/). My favorite thing about Christmas is just everything. I love sharing Christmas music, books and movies with my sons. Decorating the tree and the house. And making sugar cookies is a cherished yearly tradition. I also love giving gifts to loved ones and seeing their faces light up with delight.

    Thanks so much for the giveaway and Merry Christmas!

    You look lovely, Jillian! Never mind the awkward pose. (Let's hope YouTube gets a bit more flexible in the future!)

    My favourite thing about Christmas is getting to kick back and read, read, read, READ! With something chocolatey to enjoy--either cookies or a hot drink. I've been enjoying Christmas vacations all my life, thanks to the very wise decision to yoke my career to education. When students are on their break, so am I!

  8. There is so much I love about Christmas. One of my favorite things about it though is giving back to my family and finding gifts for them I think they will love. I also really like decorating the tree :)

  9. Christmas is my favorite holiday, so it's pretty hard to narrow down things I love about it! I think if I had to choose, I'd say just the general feel of the season. Y'know, spending time with family, how everyone's cheery, how it's such a peaceful time...I guess just the warm and fuzziness of the season :)

  17. My favorite thing about Christmas is our family traditions. Even though only one sibling is still living at home, we all get together on my Dad's birthday to watch It's A Wonderful Life. We also all try to come home before Christmas and decorate my parents' tree together.

  18. I love BAKING! Even though today I was complaining that baking is taking away from my reading time, but I still love to do it. And the holiday season is a great reason for me to bake all the time. I love giving friends and family homemade goodies as gifts or along with gifts.

    What's not to love about Christmas or December. I love reading the cozy christmas books that come out every year. Something my hub and I started 26 years ago is hosting our extended family party for the married couples (no children). Always so fun, especially the years we played our version of the Newlywed Game.

  22. Hii! My favorite thing about Christmas holidays is the atmosphere, I don't know exactly how to put it into words, but everybody is so happy! The typical music of Christmas always reminds me of the parties that my family hosted - full of good food and the expecation before opening the presents, but, most of all, the thing that make this holiday so special to me is that everybody in these parties are always so happy just to be together celebrating! :))

  33. Congratulations on your One Year Blogoversary! And I hope you had a Merry Christmas too. My favorite thing about Christmas is family. We are so busy enjoying everyone that we forget about all the other stresses of everyday life.

    Something special for me this year was that my kids were old enough to be exticed about Christmas (age 4 and 3). It took us 8 years until we finally were able to adopt our first child. So these moments are made of dreams come true.

    Happy new year.

  34. Well, here I am fashionably late!! I like the whole festive shebang: dancing and singing to myself to the carols in stores, buying intuitive gifts that astound and delight, wrapping gifts and making bows, cooking and baking, being cozy with family-- Oh, you wanted just one favorite-- ah well, you know settling on one thing is impossible for me! ;o)

    Congrats, bloggy friend! Here's to another great year!

  35. Last day to enter, nothing like coming in at the end of a party :)

    My favorite thing about Christmas is playing Santa at my families Christmas party. Frustrates the kids sometimes cause they want to do it, and they want there's now, but I love it, cause they get so happy when I find one for them.

    thanks for the giveaway
