My favorite Christmas Event is the Christmas Pageant my old High School performs at my church. I try to go every year, and love all the Christmas Carols that we’ve sung throughout the years. It really reminds me of what this Season is all about!
My favorite Christmas decoration is the Tree. Going to the movies with Family is my favorite event.
My favorite Christmas event is decorating my tree. Every year is different than the year before. I have enough decorations to do 3 – 4 different themes. Everyone reflects my loves.
My favorite Christmas decoration is the Nativity set we put out on the bookshelf in the living room.
My favorite Christmas/holiday event has become decorating the Christmas tree with my grandkids. I have special memories of decorating with my kids. My grandkids love to do this with me. Last Friday was a snow day at school. We decorated the tree, had hot cocoa and cinnamon wheel, and they played in the fresh snow. Thank you for the opportunity for the giveaway, Pat! You are amazing.
Had do much fun with this sewalong! Thank you Pat!
Hi Pat my favourite decoration is the tree, we have had the same tree for 30 years and it still looks amazing. Just new decorations about 3 years ago. May you and Greg have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for all you do xx
I don’t do much decorating anymore since it’s just the hubs & I.
My favorite holiday decorations are the ornaments my mother-in-law Dot would make every year for us and our kids.
My favorite Christmas event is our Christmas Eve service at church. We have a great carol sing and read the Christmas story.
As a youngster Christmas Eve was when I was in the school program. After we would go to our German friend’s house. She made these amazing anise cookies, springerle. They had pictures pressed in them. My cousin now makes them for me from the German ladies recipe and her hand carved moulds.
My favorite holiday decoration is my little tree. It sat on my daughter’s dresser when she was growing up, and still has some ornaments she made when she was a teenager.
My husband’s family is Dutch so we put out wooden shoes for everyone and Sinter Klaas leaves small gifts, books and candy in them on December 6th. My older son just got married so we’ve purchased his wife her own wooden shoes and have told her the story and she is now part of a favorite family Christmas tradition.
Every year I look forward to putting up our Christmas tree with my husband & young kids. They love looking through the ornaments and remembering the special occasions that are tied to each one. We play Christmas music and everyone is smiling and laughing from start to finish. I couldn’t imagine not putting up a Christmas tree.
My favorite Christmas decorations are the ones my son made in the early years. A yellow star, and candy cane….he is 42 now and we put them on the tree each year…so special 🎄🎄
My favorite decoration is my Christmas village.
My favorite Christmas event in our family is the Bethlehem Supper we have after attending the Christmas Eve service each year!
My favorite Christmas decoration is a quilted wall hanging of Santa. It is 23″ wide by 46″ tall. It is hand quilted for the most part with some machine appliqué.
My town in Alabama has an event that has been listed in the top 10 places to visit in the south, we go all out. https://christmasincandyland.com/
My favorite Christmas event is when the kids and grandkids come over on Christmas Eve. We have an early dinner and open presents. It’s wonderful to experience Christmas through the eyes and excitement of children. Always a fun time.
Going to see the local Christmas decorations display. They are award winning and close to my house. Winner of the Great Christmas Light Fight a few years back.
I love the time with family and seeing the excitement of our little ones when they see the decorations, the tree and the fun they have at present time.
Wow, my favorite Christmas is when I was a little girl. There was so much tinsel on the tree, I just loved it! I remember climbing around under the tree getting presents, and the tinsel was all over! I also remember we still found some in the rug when we were cleaning later! Those days were so much fun! ❤️☃️💕
My favorite holiday event is making my grandmother’s gingerbread man cookies with my mom. It was something that my grandmother did each year. Since her passing over 30 years ago, my mom and I have kept the tradition going. Even my teenage sons look forward to the gingerbread making day every year. 🙂 It’s not Christmas around here until the gingerbread army is spread out on the counter waiting for their icing.
I love my Boyd’s Bear Nativity scene that my husband got for me when we were first married.
Due to my physical problems my decorating is minimal this year (& last year}. I did just put up the 14 piece ceramic nativity set I painted about 25 years ago. Beside it I placed a Golden Book with the story about Jesus. It was given to me about 73 years ago!
My favorite Christmas decoration is the Thomas Kinkade Christmas village. My mom has been giving us 3 kids a new one every year. I place it on my buffet and it one of the first things you see coming into the house.
My favorite holiday event is going Christmas Caroling. Every year, mom took us and all of our friends to go caroling around our neighborhood and to a local assisted-living center. It was so much fun, and we’d end the evening by having hot chocolate and cookies at our house (and sing some more while my mom or I played piano). I kept the tradition going with my son and his friends until they were about 20 yrs old.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
My favorite thing about Christmas is how people Seam happier and treat each other with more respect . They seam to 🙂more and say hello 👋 have a nice day 🗣and are more polite. Merry Christmas to all!
I am 82 and even though there isn’t any family left, I do love to pull out the Christmas decorations and remember the fabulous holidays when family gathered and all was joyful. Memories are wonderful. I’m thankful I have them!!
My favorite event is going to the Christmas parade, seeing all the pretty lights and of course Santa.
Love Christmas lights as favorite decoration and we always go look at Christmas lights. We do this every year to celebrate our daughter’s birthday she will be 39 December 22nd.
My favorite Christmas decoration is my Christmas Village.
I have about 30 houses and miscellaneous accessories.
For about 30 years a dear friend would give us a Dept.
56 house every year for Christmas. Due to Covid and lack
of house guests, we left it up this past year and have
enjoyed it all year.
My favorite decorations are my ornaments I have made each year for my children with the year. I have been collecting since they were babies. I love the memories each year brings.
My favorite Christmas decoration, is a nativity snow globe, my hubby bought me our first Christmas together, 24 years ago 💖
I love decorating with nutcrackers.
Our special decoration was a gift from a grandchild. It is a musical Santa with a baton ( my husband is a band director ). When you push the button it spins and plays a Christmas song. IEe gave it out all year long and all the little ones love to push the button. One grandchild is old enough to signing a few of the songs.💕🥰
My favorite Holiday decoration is the Angel tree topper. It has little twinkle lights draped around the gown.
My favorite holiday decoeation is my tree topper Angel. I picked it out when I was a year old. My parents had it as their tree topper until I got married and they gave it to me and I have had it as my tree topper ever since:
My favorite thing about Christmas is Christmas Eve service at church. I love to sing Christmas carols and it’s even better if we sing by candlelight.
My favorite decoration is a ceramic tree with the colored lights — I made it in the summer of 1976 at my grandmother’s house. Thanks for the fun and opportunity to win
My favorite holiday decoration is a ceramic Christmas tree made by my aunt many years ago, as a gift to my Mom. I have now inherited it & treasure it, as both my aunt & Mom have passed away.
My favorite holiday decoration would be the Christmas tree with all of the special ornaments I’ve collected over 45 yrs. I really should have 2 more trees so I could put them all out.
My favorite event is Christmas Eve dinner and gift exchange at my 94 year old Mother’s house
My favorite decoration for the holidays are the ornaments my mom made from my childhood on my tree and the ones my kids made many years ago. Each one brings back a memory especially my Mom’s as she embroidered then hy hand.
My favorite event is Christmas dinner we’re all of my kids and all of my grandkids are in one place at one time… happiness is complete❤️❤️
My favorite holiday event is gathering with friends for dinner on the Columbia River and then watching the Christmas boats sail past. They’re so beautiful with all their Christmas lights, decorations and music!
I used to make all the reindeers with a cookie cutter and we didn’t forget the Red nose with my daughter. She is in Tennessee I am in Florida she has 2 teenage boys 15, 16 I try to be with them for Christmas I usually drive there but I am needing a cataract surgery so dangerous to drive in the dark. I will send them a box but not the same I love being with them.
My favorite Christmas is looking at the vintage cards and trees from my childhood. Time were so simple then and so much genuine love.
My favorite Christmas event is my birthday. It is the first week of December, my family all gathers and we put up the tree , decorate the house and celebrate my birthday. It is always so fun and specia. Love it!
