Thank you to everyone that entered! Be on the lookout….there are more great giveaways to come!
Bianca from Sweet N Salty by Design sent me a package of their “The Design Half-Dozen” pretzels last week. I hate to say it, but I was only able to try ONE out the the whole package….my husband ate the other FIVE! I looked at him and told him HE should be the one to tell you guys what Sweet N Salty pretzels taste like! He told me to tell you they were good, otherwise he wouldn’t have eaten all of them! Quite the comic, isn’t he!
I got to try the one with the mini m&m’s. It was quite good. I sure wish I could tell you what the others tasted like : )

I love making Divinity with my mom. We make one batch with Marschino Cherrries for her, one with pecans for me, and one batch plain for everyone else.

My favorite Holiday tradition is on Christmas Eve. My entire family (45-50 of us) will sit around the piano and sing Christmas carols. Then we finish off with the "12 Days of Christmas". Groups of 3 or 4 will get together and each sing a "day" and make a motion going with that day. For example on "7 swans a swimming" they will move their arms as if they are swimming. My tone deaf beautiful dramatic mother is always "5 golden rings". And Everyone sings "a partridge in a pear tree." So hideously awful, yet hysterical.

My favorite holiday tradition is reading the Christmas story and opening presents Christmas eve, then on Christmas morning we would open our stockings in the car on the way to Grandpa and Grandma's. I loved watch the snow in the fields and of course enjoying the new gifts and time with family.

What a cool idea! I have family that loves sweet and salty and this packaging makes it all cuter. I have a lot favorite holiday traditions but one thing that lights up my twin girls is decorating a gingerbread house and baking gingerbread and sugar cookies. They have fun decorating and then giving away their cookie creations to family and friends~

My favourite tradition is bundling everyone up all cozy and then going to see all the Christmas lights! One of the neighborhoods has a food drive so we drop off items for the food bank and after we oooo and ahhhh at all the beautiful decorations we come home and enjoy steaming mugs of cocoa with marshmallows and read Christmas stories.

My favorite holiday tradition is making cranberry marshmallow salad with my mother for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It sounds disgusting but cranberries + heavy whipping cream + sugar + mini marshmallows + pecans = fabulous.

One of my fav. holiday traditions is eating and making desserts with my older and younger sister. My older sister makes the best chocolate chip cookies!!! I have the recipe and still cannot duplicate the taste…it must be the cook! My younger sister and I just do whatever she tells us to, and now our girls do too! LOL My Mom used to come in for tastes and we would throw her out! We would make candy covered pretzels-for every shape of pretzel out there!
We also made several types of fudge and of course no-bake or "Wacky Cookies." While we cooked, we listened to the radio, sang along to the carols, or took turns playing our own on the piano-which was right beside the end on the kitchen counter. Those are wonderful memories and traditions and I hope we get to continue them this year, as now my older sister lives in the house we grew up in.

Mine is probably the INSANE overabundance of candy and treats we make in our house. We can only eat about a tenth of it before we are sick of it but there are just too many recipes to try.

My family has always had a very strict set of rituals on Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we have a meal with my mother's family at my grandparents' house. Her sister and family also come. When that's over, we travel about 30 minutes to my father's family's house. My cousins on that side are always at my grandmother's for Christmas Eve, so we celebrate with them until late in the night. Christmas eve has always been spent at home — then, as early as possible on Christmas Day, we wake and open presents together as a family. Santa Claus still comes to see us, even though my youngest brother is now 24. Just after present opening, we rush to get ready and go to my great-grandmother's house. My grandmother had 10 brothers and sister, most of whom are still living. They and all of their families (100+ if everyone makes it) meet together on our family farm and enjoy Christmas breakfast. Although it makes for a busy Christmas, I wouldn't have it any other way. Family makes the season special.

My favorite holiday tradition is eating at Waffle House Christmas eve after church! When we lived far away from family we would go on Christmas day, but thankfully we get to spend the day with our family so we moved it back to christmas eve, after dinner we drive around and look a the lights around the neighborhood and then read the christmas story – I am 25 and we still do this and will continue until I have my own children to start traditions with,

One of our favorite holiday traditions is a nightly drive in the car to look at the Christmas lights around town with our 2 little boys. It is so relaxing and really brings a lot of Christmas joy to all of us. My 2 year old starts asking to go see the lights as soon as he wakes up in the morning.

Hey! Those pretzels look so fabulous! Actually, one of my holiday traditions is to make white chocolate covered pretzels and oreos with my mom and sister! We’ve been doing it for a couple decades. However, ours aren’t anything this elaborate.

My favorite holiday tradition is decorating the tree. We reminisce about when we got each ornament. For example, there’s an ornament of a ceramic dog with a bell inside. He’s called little chimer. When I was a little girl, he was my favorite ornament, so I would take him off the tree and carry him around the house. Of course, I was young so I would drop him. Little Chimer (yes, I named him that) has been put back together at least 7 times now with super glue. He’s more glue than ceramic by now, and he no longer chimes, but he’s still my favorite ornament.

My husband's grandmother made the best divinity and she won many blue ribbons years ago with her recipe. I am the only person she shared her recipe with so each year we have to make divinity to pass on the tradition to her great grandchildren.

My favorite tradition is having brunch with my entire extended family on Christmas morning. As a child it was exciting because you would get to bring one gift to show all your cousins. As an adult, I love seeing all the children run around and catching up with the same cousins I grew up with!!

My favorite tradition is putting out the nativity set with my boys. They are ages 10, 6, and 3 and the way they set up the figurines really allows me a glimpse into what they think happened when Jesus was born. I love seeing their perspectives each year and the way they explain their perceptions….it's one of the most valued things I do with my boys each year. There are now (after 3 boys) no shepherds that arrive at the manger scene anymore due to unforeseen circumstances….ie: the then 2 year old thinking the shepherds should have a battle with the wise men….the wise men won that match. Nonetheless, it's a treasured tradition at our house.

Love this site!! My favorite holiday tradition is cookie making with my sister in law. We don't get to see each other that often and it's so fun to pass the kids off to our husbands and have some girl. time.

Each year my mother sends a new ornament from Santa to my niece and nephew. The tradition of getting a new ornament every year began, for me, when I was a child, too. It started with my Aunt Vickie sending me a brass angel with my name and year engraved on it. Now that I’m an adult and have my own tree and own (four legged) family, I love to shop for that one special ornament to add to my tree every year.

Christmas Pajamas! There is nothing like a set of warm, fuzzy Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve. Especially if it's accompanied by some spiced cider, snuggling with the family and a warm puppy dog on your feet!

Our family loves to cook, so during the week before Christmas we would make cookies and decorate them! Then we would go and decorate the tree, which is one of my all-time favorites, and because our tree rotates, we can all decorate while it`s spinning!! But we all have fun doing it as a family!!
