YAY for give away's right?
AND I HAVE AN AWESOME ONE FOR YOU.
I have a place for one lucky blog reader on
I signed up last year, and fell head over heels in love with my album - even from day one.
I had everything cut and ready to go by like the 15th of November - and when it came round to Dec first I was ready, glue in hand to paste Finlay's 2nd Christmas onto paper forever more,
And even now when I look back over the album I am incredibly proud.
So - if you want a chance to feel that way, to create an album that might just well become a family heirloom.. then leave me a comment with your favourite moment of the Holidays.. be it the second your child finds their stocking packed full of gifts from Santa, or when your cookies come out perfect, or when your husband clues up and buys you that star pendant from Tiffany's. ;-)... any moment will do!
I will announce the winner tomorrow night! QUICK!

I love spending time with my family--when all of my sisters are here. One of my sisters lives out of state so she doesn't come home as often as she/we would like.
Oh no I'm first...the spot of death......lol. Well, I'd LOVE a chance to win this! I have hearde wonderful things about her class!! Thank you for your kindness :)
I can't think of a specific moment - I love them all! But now that my children are grown, I treasure any time we have together. A favorite tradition is gathering together on Christmas Eve and watching "It's a Wonderful Life." Thanks for the chance to win a spot in Shimelle's class! ...I believe, I believe...

Being a Latina from the Caribbean (yeah, I know how exotic that sounds, LOL!) My favorite Xmas moment is the Wisemen tradition.
On Jan. 5Th night kids leave a shoebox full of grass under the tree for the Wisemen camels to eat, and if they have been good kids over the year, the Wisemen will get them gifts.

I love Christmas, everything about it. No my children are all grown up the thing that I love the most is going to Mass on Christmas Day. I love the way everyone is in a good mood, the way we all smile at each other AND it's about the only time all of us go to church together now!
What a great giveaway!!! Thank you for the chance to win. My favorite moment of Christmas is when the kids are coming down the stairs in the morning and see the tree for the first time with all the gifts under it. I love the way their little faces light up.

My favourite moment is when the little ones realise it is morning and Santa has actually been! Would love the chance to take part in this class. ;-)

Fave part of Christmas is seeing the smile on my Children's face when they realise Santa has been
Think its going to be the last one this year :0(
My favourite thing is definitely being with family & having fun together :)
The past 5 years have given me wonderful Christmas memories and they are all linked to my daughter. She seems to find something more magical about it every year. The first time she understood who Santa was, about 3 years ago just blew me away. She is very excited again this year and cannot wait to put her advent calendar up.
Looking forward to seeing your journal this year.
My favourite moment for the holidays came last night when me and my sister found a pink christmas tree for our youngest sis. She had been saying she wanted one to match her room for weeks. We bought it and surprised her. It was a lot of fun.
I love seeing my children in the school Christmas play - actually it doesn't even have to be my children, seeing all the little ones all dressed up like sheep or donkeys, they are just SO CUTE! Often brings a tear to my eye...
Oh this is easy... the day Santa brought me Barbie's house and all of the accessories. I was beside myself there were so many boxes with lots of fabulousness. I got serois mileage out of that gift. :D
My favourite part of Christmas is Christmas Eve, when all of my family meet in our local church for the Christingle service and then head back to mine for a huge party. It signifies the start of Christmas for me. x
I love everything about Christmas - but most of all the gift unwrapping! I just love seeing the peoples faces when they open them up.
Oh what fun! I love the moment the plane touches the ground and Ikow seeing my family is just moments away...
Last year Arthur was so excited he just ran backwards and forwards through the living room squealing with delight. It was such a precious memory
One of my favourite Christmas moments was when my son decided not to go to sleep so he go 'see' Santa!!! He set up his 'trip wire' from his spy kit...hehehehe! He went to bed with his night vision goggles on.....so funny and so cute :) ... the things they do to meet the big guy in red!!!
I love loads about christmas but my favourite is to see their faces on christmas morning
I love it when my kids wake up and yell "he's been! he's been!", when they discover their stockings bulging with pressies even now they are 16 and 13! They then come and get into bed with us and open all the little gifts ...
Would love to win a place in Shimelle's class - thanks for the opportunity!

hi i love that special time on christmas eve when you realise that all the shops are shut and that you should have everything you need if not its too late, the quiet realization that its nearly here, cuddle up on the sofa with your little ones, watching christmas movies talking about santa on his sleigh, eating cookies and kissing those babies foreheads.
Even though my kids are older now, I still love the moment all the presents are under the tree Christmas Eve and the house is quiet.
I love so much about Christmas but I think my favourite moment is Christmas Eve after the kids are in bed. We've usually just returned from church and the house is quiet and the tree lights are twinkling. I love that feeling of peace. Maybe it's the calm before the storm!
my favorite part of christmas is when everyone opens up the gifts I bought them, I love to see their faces :) xxx Marlene, SI, NY
What a lovely gesture. Well, my favourite thing about Christmas is being able to spend time with the family and remembering the religion behind Christmas time. Best wishes, kym xxx
I love the waking up on Christmas morning, the kids excitement about Santa's visit and NO we don't wait till after lunch to open our presents we go straight at it after breakfast, the kids with their mountains of gifts and the adults with a strong coffee & a maybe a small fortifying sherry - great stuff! http://pjbear-determinedscrapper.blogspot.com/
ooo my fave moment is putting up the tree, we put ours up bare before the kids go to bed, then the 'christmas fairy' sprinkles her magic and decorates the tree I love seeing their little faces the next day when they realise she's been- almost as good as christmas day xxx
One of my favorite Holiday moments is watching A Charlie Brown Christmas on Christmas Eve. I've seen it many, many times, but I enjoy it each year as though it's my first time seeing it.
What a wonderful gift you're giving!!
Christmas is my most favorite of the holidays! I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas when my children were young and now I'm savoring the ones made with my grands. This is difficult!!
One that really stands out is when my yougest son's son, Dylan, decided to decorate my Christmas tree on his own. I'd gotten the tree the day before, and planned to decorate it that night. I was busy in another part of my home when Dylan (age 4 at the time)decided he could no longer wait on his Nana and took matters into his own hands. He rummaged through my desk, pulled up a dining chair, and then placed my yellow tape measure like a swag around the tree. In the center of the tree and on the highest branch he could reach, Dylan hung a beautiful golden ornament that had arrived in the mail that day. He chose a key fob to place on yet another branch, and his final choice in decoration was a roll of electricial tape that was placed on yet another branch. I wish you could have seen the look of pride and delight on his face when he took my hand and led me to that tree!! Needless to say, perhaps, the photo I took of his precious masterpiece (tagged with "Decorated by Dylan") became my Christmas card that year.
Thank you for evoking that magical moment for me Sj!! xo <3
Yay giveaway...always fancied doing this class. Thank you SJ.
My fave thing about Christmas is my daughter. Her little face just kills me time and time again.
xx
Definitely 'helping Santa' on Christmas Eve filling the stockings etc for my teenage sons! :-)
I love the car journeys to see the family with my man, singing to Christmas tunes, also I love the seasonal sandwiches on offer in the supermarket(my guilty secret!!)
xx
Yay I want to fel like that too! I have never scrapped Christmas (the shame) and I think this year is the time to start. Getting giddy already lol! Xx
My most favorite things about Christmas is having my children and hubby(he has been taking vacation the same time as them for years) home and just having the lazy days.
Thanks for the chance to win SJ! JYC sounds fantastic:) My favourite moment of the holidays is definitely waking up on Christmas morning and knowing the presents and family time and food and love all lie ahead...perfection! xx
One of my favourite moments of Christmas is when we have family and friends round for festive nibbles, and I bring out my marmalade glazed ham which is always a favourite. Good friends and good food, nothing better!
Just one favorite moment...so hard to choose!! :) I guess I have to go with the looks on the children's faces when we deliver Christmas to the Angel Family we adopt each year!! :) Thanks so much for the opportunity to win a spot in Shimelle's class! :)
My favorite moment of the holidays is Christmas Eve, eating our traditional meal, sitting and looking at the tree lights, visiting with family, such fun!
Thanks for the chance to win a place in the class, hope I win, I would love to discover how to make this wonderful keepsake!
Love our small family Christmas Eve, doing all the traditonal things like play games and go to church before the big day which we share with our extended family :)
Favorite moment is probably watching my dad read the 2 christmas stories on Christmas Eve. The Night Before Christmas and The First Christmas (Jesus' birth). Fun to see my tradition passed along to my kiddos.
My favorite moment for Christmas is the moment right before we sit down for dinner and all gather in the kitchen to say grace. For whatever reason saying grace at Christmas always bring a tear to my eye.
It's hard to choose only one favorite. But I'd say mine is the Christmas we were short on cash, but big on love. Our daughter was 8. Hubby and I had so much fun working together to refurbish my childhood doll house for her gift. The other gift we gave our daughter was a beautiful formal dress that I bought for $1 and altered to fit my daughter for playing dress up. Our daughter was thrilled with her gifts and never realized that we were short on cash. She played with those two gifts more than any toys we ever bought her from the store other years. Little can become much when love is in it.
One of my favorite moments is singing 'Silent Night' acappella with the rest of the congregation in church at midnight on Christmas eve with only the soft glow of the candles each person is holding. It's so peaceful and heart-filling.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in the JYC class! I've heard lots of great things about it.
looks like a lovely class. December is my favourite month, with christmas, birthdays its busy but i love it!
For me, the best moment is seeing my children's faces on Christmas morning!! All bleary eyed and full of wonder and excitment :-) Brings a tear to my eye every single year.
I love it when the main meal is done and we are all sitting around the table talking and catching up with family we don't get to see often enough since we moved state. Cheers Sue bsfitz@supernerd.com.au
My favorite moment of Christmas is seeing the look on someone's face as they unwrap the present that I spent lots of time trying to find as the perfect gift.

time with family and watching the kids open presents!
My favorite moment is decorating the Christmas tree...a decorated tree always puts me in the Christmas spirit!
My favourite moment of the holidays is on christmas morning, when all the family sit round together and open their presents.
My favorite moment is seeing my son's face on Christmas morning. Even last year at 5 months old, he lit up and reached out for the color ring stack Santa left next to his stocking. After hours of fun, plus a nap, he finally explored the contents of the stocking. Can't wait to see how he reacts this year. :) Thanks for a chance to win!
Hope I'm still in time for the giveaway! :)
One of my favourite Christmas moments has always been going to the Christingle service on Christmas Eve and seeing our huge parish church packed full of children all holding their lit Christingle oranges oh so carefully! I have taken my nieces to it woth my sister for the last 10 years now and can't wait for this year when I will be taking my 8 month old daughter along for her first one!
