The best part about Christmas, to me, is getting together with family. How blessed am I to have a great one, and to be able to spend time with them this year. This weekend was spent loving on cousins and eating yummy food.
Today, two amazing ladies are telling you what their favorite Christmas traditions are, and they're both giving away some pretty great things!
Kayla blogs over at My Kind of Yellow, and she just happens to be one of my best bloggy friends. She and her hubby-to-be go on the best dates, she has the cutest style, and she's giving away this beautiful necklace.. (which also doubles as just a pearl necklace!)
"My favorite Christmas tradition would have to be when all of the women, young and old, in my family get together and have an entire Saturday full of baking together. It's always so fun to catch up on life, and make some amazing snickerdoodles and cheesecakes at the same time!"
Hailey blogs over at Love, Laughter, and Lipstick. She is the mother of 2 adorable little ones, wrote a post that I absolutely adore about what to wear at home, and is giving a $10 gift card to Sephora!!
"My favorite Christmas tradition was cutting down our Christmas Tree when I was younger, and it's now our new tradition as well!"

Getting together with family is so much more special when you're older and don't get to see them as much. You realize you took so much for granted when you were younger.
So my favorite holiday tradition was waking my mother up at the crack of dawn to open gifts and being so excited b/c no matter how many gifts I had found around the house she always surprised me! Now it is just spending the day with my family then opening gifts x-mas eve night b/c we have to be out east to have christmas lunch with his family then we meet his best friend Cam at the cinema to catch a flick. We've done this for the past 3 years and I think it is terrific!

I love cousins! What's that saying? I think it's something like "Cousins are your first best friends?" So true!
Hmm, I have so many favorite Christmas traditions it's hard to chose. I think Christmas breakfast with the inlaws ranks pretty high up there. Decorating and snuggling together for holiday movies is pretty high up there too :) I just love this time of year!
My favorite Christmas tradition is the different dishes we make to represent our heritage; ravioli (Italian), gugelhof, a yellow cake (Polish), and lamb(Irish). The recipes have been handed down from generation to generation, and I can't wait to share them with my kids.
