I love being with family!

[Liliana Phillips]

I love watching my kids get so excited about the holiday season itself. We love putting up our nativity set, watching Christmas movies--that I watched as a kid, making Christmas cards for everyone, and keeping an eye out for snow. So much fun!

[barbara macaskill]

My favorite part about the holidays is seeing the little ones eyes light up when they see the tree on Christmas morning. The big meal where we all sit for hours and stuff ourselves and catch up with each others lives! Meme's tourtiere stuffing in my mouth, my neighbor's homemade candies, mom's bread stuffing, fresh baked homemade rolls with lots of butter, a big juicy slice of turkey and the desserts! Opening the door to find a surprise guest show up! The firemen's eyes when we show up the day AFTER Christmas with a whole holiday meal just for them. Those are the things that make the holidays merry for me and my family!

[KariLynn L]

What I love the most about the Holiday season is taking the time to see family and just have fun and sit around and visit without feeling like I have to rush off to do something. I also LOVE having my kids home for two weeks were we can just hang out and have fun!

[Pam Sohan]

I love the time off of school and work to just be. To sleep in, to be lazy. To enjoy my family without all the hustle and bustle of our normal routine.

To me the Holiday's mean family. I am very lucky that we have a family were we all honestly like each other. I live out of town from all of my girls so the Holiday's have an extra special meaning to me. It is the time I get to eat with my girls, their husbands, and of course my beloved 6 grandsons...yes I have all grandsons...no grand daughters! he he he..but back to the point. I love the family time the most. Nothing is better than eating a good meal and laughing with your family. And believe me..around my girls and husband..you will always be laughing! :o) Thanks for the chance to win! I adore the designs in this collection!

Best thing from holiday season is the family gathering where everyone could meet, talk and eat together warmly... coz that's the only time of the year when everyone is not busy with their own thing ^^
