You chose some great products to highlight. Although I personally don’t celebrate many holidays due to my religious beliefs, I do love spending quality time with family. Every year in winter we set aside a day to play board games and go for a walk in the woods. It’s so lovely to laugh and relax together, a welcome break from the stress of life.
Thanks so much Jessica for sharing your favorite things. I enjoy seeing all that you craft. You are so talented. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy holidays.
Hi, Jessica- My favorite holiday memory is always the smell of fresh hot homemade tamales. My mom makes them fresh every year and they are delicious. My BIG BUTT is evidence that I eat well at my mom’s table.ha-ha-ha Christmas is not Christmas without tamales! YUMMY! Again, the big butt proves it. ha-ha
Thanks for sharing your favourites. My favourite memory is from 2007 when we celebrated Christmas with our youngest who was one month old.
My favorite holiday memories are of the wonderful family Christmas dinners with our large extended family when all the children were small. All the food,with special dishes we looked fwd to each year, the hilarious white elephant gift exchange, & just being together. The children have children of their own now & we are all spread across the states so hard to have those fabulous, fun get-togethers now but love all the memories.
My favorite holiday memory was making cookie ornaments to put on the tree. We couldn’t afford fancy ornaments so we made them!
Thank you for offering these fab prizes. One of my fave memories are of Christmas as a child. The anticipation of waking to open the presents and we got to take one gift to church for a special service after Christmas Day.
Already ordered some goodies from Simon Says Stamp but it was hard to decide what to get because I want everything!! My favorite holiday memories were getting together with our extended family at my grandmothers house every year. We had to many people that we had to eat in shifts, but the food was amazing! Our gifts back then were simple but I felt like the luckiest kid in the world
My favorite holiday memory is my mom making fresh, homemade tamales. YUMMY! She makes everything from scratch and the smell of tamales cooking on the stove……….nothing compares to that. Other than sitting down to eat. =)
Forgot one……..it was funny, but made no sense. It was the one of the last Christmases that we had with my dad. It was 100*F, which is rare even for Texas, we had the AC and the ceiling fans on, I was flustered and frustrated because of heat and trying to put up the Christmas tree. My dad kept giving me unsolicited advice and criticism on my efforts, my dog kept trying to chew and drag the lights away. It was CRAZY!! Looking back, it makes me smile because we were TOGETHER. The next Christmas, my dad was gone. =)
I follow your blog and IG, and Youtube too! Thanks for the chances to win some awesome goodies. My favorite Christmas memory was the one when I got my first Cabbage Patch doll, who I named Julia. I was 4 years old and was so thrilled with her that I took her everywhere. I still have that doll and now my own two girls play with her!
Thank you so much for your kindness dear Jessica!!! My favorite holiday memory is when I was 10 y.o. and I spent Xmas on Disneyland Paris. It was magical!!! <3
I'm already following you on Instagram (raggiodiluc3) and on YouTube (Arianna Barbara).
Thanks for the chance to win such a great prize Jessica! My favourite holiday memory is really pretty generic and just the holiday tradition we have of a big seafood dinner Christmas Eve and opening our gifts after dinner.
My favorite holiday memory is related to food. My mom makes homemade TAMALES and they are delicious. Also, driving around town especially downtown San Antonio to see the lights on the San Antonio River. So pretty.
The excitement of decorating the tree and hanging lights in our front picture window. Making and sending Christmas cards. All of those things are happy memories.
I think a new Christmas memory is making Christmas cards and especially decorating the envelopes. So exciting!!!
I loved making Christmas cookies with my Mom, and later with our kids when they were little. I also remember one year my brother and I got really crafty wrapping gifts together, made them extra fancy!
Thanks for the gift of your blog!
I always loved lying
on the floor and looking
at the lovely Christmas tree
lights! Mom has some fun
different kinds.

Some of my favorite holiday memories involve baking cookies with family.
My favorite holiday memories are of the Christmases spent with my family when my grandparents were alive. We always ended up gathered around the piano singing while my grandfather (who played so beautifully and entirely by ear) would play any and every Christmas song. Makes me smile just thinking of it. 🙂
great giveaway thank you!!
Jess, thank you for your generosity! So many animals have been displaced due to the fires. Your donation will really help.
My favorite holiday memory is the year we had snow for Christmas. My children were young and loved playing in the snow Christmas morning. I think they had more fun doing that then opening their presents!
Sweet designs!!!
My favorite memory is playing games with my husband and the kids. So much laughter!
I’m to late for the giveaway but my favorite Christmas memory is of the Christmas that I became too old for a stocking. My grandfather felt so bad that he made my favorite cookies and gave me a stocking full of them. Being the eldest granddaughter meant that I was the first to lose it and he just didn’t feel right about that. Those cookies are still my favorite and I make them every year and remember my Papaw as I do.
