I love when Santa comes to the house and everyone goes and sits on his poor lap. The nephews are getting older so it is so cute to see them having a great time.
ahhhh this one i do wanna win – i hate cooking during the holidays but i love eating…

One reason I enjoy the holidays is because my family and I go caroling with our relatives. It’s so fun and festive!

One reason I enjoy the holidays is because of the holiday break. We could all use a day or two off just to unwind and spend time with our families
the getting together of family, near & far, is still my favorite reason for the holidays (followed closely by the cookies)
Like holidays because I get to watch my 2-year-old son’s face light up as he gets gifts. A new journey through life with my child has really opened my eyes about things I was missing.

I love big holiday gatherings with friends and family.
One of my favorite parts about the holidays is all the delicious food!
I like the holidays not only because you can cuddle and have those lazy days in bed with tea and a badly written indie or 90s movie – but because I live in Miami and around the holidays people seem more cordial and compassionate towards each other. They let people merge without screaming at them and don’t mind if you happen to skip them in line.
Dear Marian, I love the holidays because I can let loose with my crafts, recipes and Santa hat! I’d love the platter because it is an easy way to get rave reviews!!! I’m following you on Facebook and Twitter, and I have tweeted your giveaway. I’m so glad I found your site!!

I adore the holidays because I can go “all out” and nobody thinks you are “over the top” & too crazy, just a little good-kinda-crazy.
