THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS: MICHELLE PETERSON AND BECKY PETERS! I love family traditions, and I love things that draw me closer to Christ during the holidays. So I was so excited to learn about a wonderful family-run business that provides both with their beautiful 25 Days of Christ Ornament Kit!…

Every year for Christmas, we have my in-laws over for breakfast and present opening. It’s so fun to have grandparents join in on the fun and to share a yummy meal with us. It’s especially fun that we don’t have to leave our house. Yay! The kids get to play with their presents all morning. Mom and Dad get to recover from a long night. And, finally when evening comes, we head out to my family’s house for Christmas dinner. I love our set-up. Love it, love it, love it! Anyway, I get excited every year to plan a scrumptious, but not too time consuming, Christmas breakfast. In the past, I’ve done bread puddings, omelets, biscuits and gravy, and cinnamon rolls. I haven’t decided what to do this year, but I’m starting to think about it. So, today I have 25 Christmas Breakfast Ideas for you… hopefully, it will help us both out!
Throughout the holiday season, all of us seem to be in all the same places at all the same times as we prepare and celebrate during the holidays. Though this season is often magical and memorable, holiday crowds can leave me feeling utterly un-festive. Through our travels near and far, I’ve picked up a few…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at my house! When you’re a crafter (especially a craft blogger), you have to get a head start. Don’t worry, I haven’t put up the tree or anything… yet. Anyway, I’m so excited to show you this snow globe Christmas ornament that I made. Doesn’t it just make you want to light a fire, snuggle up, and listen to Christmas carols?
I made it using a clear plastic ball ornament that I found at Hobby Lobby. Unlike a regular ball ornament, this one splits in half so you can fit bigger things inside of it. So many possibilities! The little house ornament and the fake snow came from Michael’s.

Hello! I’m Mel from So Festive! and today I’m going to share with you my favorite holiday traditions for the Fall and Winter.
Traditions are a great way to create wonderful family memories and to break up the monotony of everyday life. Traditions will give you and your families something to look forward to. And you know what? They don’t have to be elaborate, expensive, or complicated.
Here are some of my favorite family tradition ideas:
It’s hard to think of anything other than summer fun in the July heat, but winter will be here before you know it. At Get Away Today we’re already getting calls from families who know it’s never too early to start thinking about the holidays. If you’re toying with the idea of visiting Disneyland or surprising your family with a vacation this holiday season, NOW is the time to start planning. It’s no secret that one of my favorite destinations is Disneyland and I absolutely LOVE Disneyland over the holidays. In fact, I love it so much I’m in the process of planning my own family’s trip for December. Here are some of the whys and hows of getting your family’s holiday trip to Disneyland on the books today!
One of my favorite parts of Christmas is shopping for stocking stuffers. Is that weird? Maybe it’s the challenge of it…finding something small AND cool? It definitely narrows down the options. But, I love a good challenge, so with that, may I introduce you to ‘Mariel’s Picks 2012 ~ Stocking Stuffers for the Whole Family‘!…
The holiday season will be in full-swing before we know it and I just cannot wait. Of course, my house is already decorated! Would you expect anything less from me? Today I am sharing this little Christmas Tree Countdown that I designed to help with all of my excitement. I came up with this cute…
