Opening presents and BBQ at the beach
We love to have a Kris Kringle session which is a great laugh because everybody wraps cheapie and fun packages for each other to pick

My favorite Christmas tradition-make Christmas decoration
Every Christmas Eve we read The Night Before Christmas together as a family. Each year a different person gets a turn to read. It is such a lovely thing when a child who has just learned to read gets to read the story to the whole big family.
we have a little tradition that is in its second year of having a picture book advent calendar. a little expensive but well worth adding the the family book collection.

In out family we absolutely MUST decorate the tree (all of us) while a Dean Martin Christmas CD croons in the background. Every year, my two kids make paint handprints which we cut out, laminate and add to the handprint ‘garland’ which we string up across our living room wall.
My favourite tradition is making Christmas mince pies – it was always my job to make them at home when i was younger and have kept doing it ever since. Pity theres no such thing as Christmas mince in New Caledonia – it just doesnt feel like Christmas without them!
Love the look of the books!!
Our favorite holiday tradition is taking a trolley tour in the city next door of all the super decorated Christmas houses-hot chocolate and cookies make it even more special!
Every year we go see the Macy’s Light Show and then head home for an afternoon of gingerbread train and cookie tree making with good friends of ours. The kids really enjoy decorating their trees and trains, but more than that eating them after they’re finished!
We have a trans-Tasman gingerbread house competition with our good friends
I like working puzzles with my children in front of the Christmas tree while a fire burns in the fireplace. Mostly I enjoy and appreciate any activity that brings us together and slows our hectic schedule down.
Just posted the giveaway on my Facebook page. GREAT GIVEAWAY!
Favorite Christmas tradition – getting up early, taking down the stocking and opening all the little presents in them as Mom (me) makes scrambled eggs and bacon & Pillsbury cinnamon buns with hot chocolate – we eat gathered around the tree speculating about what is in the wrapped presents – then after we all finish, presents are opened.
Our tradition is the carols in the morning, up loud!!
ripping into presents and spending the morning playing!!!
thanks for a chance

My favorite tradition is filling the bottom of the tree with presents for my family. I love to see the kids faces when they wake. The joy in their eyes is heart warming.
My fav Christmas tradition (apart from the frozen strawberry margaritas) is the way we do presents for adults – we each buy a $20 gift, then at gift giving time we draw a number and that is the order you get to choose/open your gift, but you really want to be last because after you have opened your gift you can choose to swap it with any already opened gifts – it ends in a great deal of laughter and makes only opening one gift a lot of fun.
PS I love the look of those books – looks like lots of crafting fun.
Our family traditions are making christmas ornaments (we choose a new one each year and give them away as presents) and making gingerbread creations! Thanks for the chance to win!
Tweeted giveaway @Brightangel. Thank you for the chance to win!
My favorite Christmas tradition is baking and decorating Christmas cookies with my family (and my mom in particular). I love Christmas cookies.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I posted a link on my Facebook page!
Thank you for the fabulous giveaway!
I sent out a tweet! @BrandyLunnMirly
My favorite Christmas tradition is the Greedy Gift exchange!!
In our family, it’s always a super fun & hilarious event. Nothing
else brings in quite that much laughter!
We sing The 12 Days of Christmas.
We have watched Mickey’s Christmas Carol since it came out. Before I owned the movie I would listen to the record and follow along! I cannot go through a Christmas without this story! xo
I tweeted your giveaway @mimistarquilter. Thanks for the chance – these books look awesome and fun!
My daughter and I traditionally make felt Christmas ornaments for the family… my favorite was the penguins that we made… adorable!!
I love making a Christmas decoration for each of my children so that they will have a whole collection of ornaments made with love by the time that they leave home.
On Christmas morning after church all the family gather around the Christmas tree. The oldest person, my Father plays ‘Santa’ . He takes a gift from under the tree & says the name. The youngest person, is the ‘elf’, and they do the running around the room and hand the gift to the person named. As new Grandchildren are born, the youngest changes all the time. Babies have to wait until they become toddlers to be an elf.
Easily my favorite family Christmas tradition.
One of our favourtie traditions is new pjs on Christmas Eve. My girls love getting new pjs and it’s always nice to have tidy jammies for those Christmas morning photos!
Hi
My favourite family tradition is to spend Christmas eve with my husband and two children. We go out somewhere for tea (usually the beach with hot chips) and then come home, open the presents we have got each other. This way no matter what else happens during the festive season we have spent time together as a family enjoying each others company.
Thanks for sharing the books, I would love to add these to my craft book collection at some stage.
Instead of a star or an angel we have a Xmas pig for the top of our tree. We alternate which kid gets to do it every year and always take a photo!
My Christmas tradition is to give my boys a Christmas book on Dec 1st every year and a decoration I have made for their collection. Get out the tree and decorate it together. Then read our collection of Christmas books as we work our way toward Christmas. Great giveaway!
Ooh fun giveaway! I’m always up for increasing my craft book knowledge/collection (even if Birdi is too young just yet!) My favorite tradition has got to be making molasses cookies and decorating them as a family. The smell alone turns me into a 7 year old.
We have an activity advent calendar. That way there is no holiday boredom leading up to christmas and the kids are super excited to see what we are doing for the day. X
My favorite Christmas is breakfast with my mom. She is a nurse, so there are years we are unable to have it and it is heartbreaking for all of us. There is nothing better than all of us having breakfast together and opening up the stockings she very carefully puts together for every single one of us. As our family grows larger and larger, this is the one constant and everyone looks forward to it. We love our Mimi!
