This is a picture of my desk this morning. I somehow missed the second favorite thing show and decided to buy the Magazine and see for myself all the wonderful goodies. I mean, who doesn't just love Oprah's favorite things show. + you can see all my Christmas cards ready to go to the mail box. I love making, ordering, addressing and stamping all those cards. It's just really one of my favorite things to do each year.

Psalm 27: 4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.

I was looking at Shimelle's class and thought that it would be so much fun! Thanks for the chance to win!
A favorite thing about Christmas for me is having my kids being home from school. I love being with them!
My favorite thing about Christmas is opening up my box of Christmas books. There are so many wonderful stories and only having them around once a year makes the appreciation and wonder so much greater!
I've heard her classes are great! :)
I love looking through Christmas photo albums with my grown boys. :)
OMG! I love those classes!
One of my favorite things about Christmas? Actually, I love our family traditions at 24th of December: decorating the Christmas tree morning, going to church, eating our traditional dinner, boxing all of the presents under the tree...
Thanks! Have a nice week, Wilna!
I love going to parents' house to help them put up their tree. They kept all the funny little ornaments we made during our childhood and still display them proudly eventhough the glitter has fallen off or the colors have faded...
big gatherings of family friends, singing carols and exchanging gifts while having a good time over a hearty meal :)
Ahhh, so many wonderful things about Christmas ... for me one of my favorite things is the smell of my mom's freshly baked shortbread cookies, NUMMY!!

family, food, love... so many warm happy things about xmas!
One of the many things I love about Christmas is on Christmas Eve when it's really late, everything is done & I'm about to go to bed I look in on my 2 children as I do every night but knowing that 'this' night is different.......I wonder what they last thought before they fell asleep and what they're dreaming, the magic in their hearts makes me melt xxx
My fav by far is decking the halls. Love all the ornaments and sparkly stuff!!!
There are so many things about Christmas that are my favorite, but I think my very favorite is singing Christmas hymns at church and lighting the Advent candles. It's such a peaceful moment in what can be a crazy time of year.
thanks for the chance to win! :) favorite thing about christmas-- so many favorites... but truly when i reflect about the true meaning of christmas and how it has profoundly impacted my life- that Christ has come to rescue me-- i am moved to tears. those moments are my favorite.
Hi Wilna, one of my favourite Christmas traditions is baking my granny's lebkuchen biscuits from her handwritten recipe. YUM!
Seeing my family!
I love making decorated snowflake cookies with my kids.
I'm totally makign my Christmas cards this week/weekend to hopefully get them out by the 1st. I'm never this early, we shall see:-)
I'm Jewish, so when you'll celebrate Christmas, we'll celebrate eight days of Hannukah.
The best thing about Hannukah is gathering all our family and loved ones every evning, for 8 days...
Thanks for the chance to win this cool class-spot (that for me will become a hannukah-journal, if that's ok with you :))
Thanks,
Sarit.
ONE of my favorite (there are so many) things about Christmas is the look on my children's faces when they open up their Christmas presents. Their faces light up so much!

My favorite thing about Christmas is the atmosphere of color, sound, smell, and feeling that pervade everything.
My favorite thing at Christmas is family time :) (eating too is great!!)

One of my favorite things about Christmas is attending Midnight Mass and bringing in Christmas day with carols. It always moves me. I have learned that Christmas is just not Christmas for me without it.
My favourite Christmas thing is the music, I listen to it whenever I get the chance for the month and a little bit!
I would love to take the class, I have been checking it out already!!!
Great question! I enjoyed reading others' replies and agreethat there are so many things to love about the holiday season. My favorite of all is taking the time (amid what can be chaos) to sit with my children and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and how that impacts us daily. This makes for humble and grateful hearts amid the frenzy!
Thanks!!
One of my favorite things about Christmas is putting up my own beutiful angel tree in my bedroom and remembering where each sweet angel came from.
I love unpacking the ornaments and our Christmas angel - the kids know the stories of some of the ornaments bought before they were born. It's such a time of joy and love and fun when we unpack and decorate the tree!
My favorite thing about Christmas is getting out all the decorations and decorating the house with Christmas music playing. My daughters and I always have a wonderful time decorating the tree. Lots of great memories of Christmas past.
Looking at my collection of tree ornaments. I have an extensive amount of angels and stars and put them clustered all around the top of the tree: my own little bit of heaven!
I love Shimelle's style and have been thinking about doing a class with her. Would love to win it.
My fav thing is the fact that people appear to notice the things the seem to take for granted the rest of the year - spending time with family and making time for the important stuff.
Wilna, just one thing!? I JUST discovered paper...a Cricut machine as a result of my local Michaels ad...and FEELING memories! I've been a digiscrapper up till now. Now it's time to get dirty ;) And my favorite thing about Christmas is the special family closeness and memories that we will have forever!
So happy to have discovered your blog....from one South African to another (I'm now in Boston ;) I hope you have a wonderful memory-making season!
My favorite memories of Christmas are baking with my kids. Also this was the only time of year they really got along and didn't fight. They actually slept together every Christmas Eve until my son went off in the military. The excitement on kids faces as they talk about Christmas is a wonderful memory and always brings out the kid in me. Love this time of year. I hope you and yours have a Blessed Holiday!
I love our quiet family Christmas Eve, just me & my parents. We spend the day together, play games, take a walk, eat dinner & go to church in the evening. It's nice to have this special time together before our big family Christmas the following day.
Thanks for the chance to win a class place :)
I love the foods of the season! =)
Spending time with my girls.
I always look forward to the time I get to spend with family. Especially since a few were out of town for Thanksgiving.
My fav thing is chilling out with loved ones alllll day.
I love it all! Its hard to pick the favourite. Right now, my 9yo daughter is singing and humming "Santa Claus is coming to town" in the background while she bakes cupcakes. She is home from school after a bad fall, probably with a broken nose. So right now my favourite thing is the "joy" and the "merry" that can be found if you choose it. It is in the prelude, the preparation and the day itself. I love that today, joy is overcoming her sadness.
My favorite thing about Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. My 2nd favorite thing about Christmas is spending time with my family
My favorite thing about Christmas is waking up in our decorated house, and just spending the morning cuddling. I love my little family!
hmmm, i love when we have a new baby or toddler for the holidays. xmas stays magical and the older kids play along to make it just right for the little ones....

Reading christmas books to my kiddos is something I love to do-- they will read the same ones over and over with such joy. It's all about the little ones. :)
I love spending time with my family!!
I love driving around at night at looking at all the decorations!
I love snuggling up with the whole family on Christmas Eve and watching "It's A Wonderful Life"
wow... thanks for the opportunity to win! I look forward to spending the day just relaxing with my hubs... probably watching a movie together or something... Christmas music is another thing I look forward to! I love it! It makes me happy! :)
The love people tend to be free with at this time of the year!
OH yay! One of my favourite things about Christmas is seeing all the boats lit up in our harbour. I'm from a fishing community and it's quite the sight to see.

one of my favorite things about Christmas is preparing for Christmas through our advent devotions each night...last night was the first Sunday of advent and I am so excited to continue this special tradition in our family!
Am I too late? I love christmas music of all kinds, the carols, the traditional and Slade!
Would love to win a pass for this class :)
Stockings are my favorite - filled with little bits of fun and love.
an afternoon spent decorating the tree.
I love the excitment in the build up to the 'Big Day' - the shopping, wrapping, writing cards, advent calendars, music and everything else I can't think of!! I'd love to win this class for my sister so she can tale part :)
Best thing about Christmas would have to be the family time:) Thanks for the chance to win! x
Falling asleep on the drive home just so my dad could carry me inside. 8 year old memory.

I love the tingly, warm fuzzy feeling I get around Christmas- to me that's the "magic of Christmas"
