The loveliest of snowflakes! It was also fun to read the responses from your previous post.

I always make something for my sister and niece for Christmas. I love the planning and the making!

I love surprising someone, who has no real reason to expect a gift from me, with a small carefully chosen or made gift.

Seeing and celebrating with my grandchildren. We’ve had to adopt the flexible holiday schedule over the years. Passing on the family tradition of “when we get together, it’s Christmas, no matter what the calendar says!” Twenty years ago, I made fabric bags with muslin tags inside, every year the recipient signs the name and year, so now a part of Christmas is looking over who has had the bag in the past. Sweet memories.

I love family traditions. Making tamales with my daughter’s, singing carols, sewing Christmas pajamas for my children.

I love your snowflakes, can’t wait to try them.

I love seeing the lights in the snow covered trees outside. Not the gaudy ones, the plain white lights in a pine trees with the snow falling gently. Love your snowflakes! Thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite tradition is decorating the tree with ornaments that carry memories and decorating the trees outdoors with treats for the animals. The grandchildren like to help with both activities.

I would love to win a copy of Quilting Arts “Holiday”. There are so many things to love about the Christmas holidays. All the cheery music, snow, decorating, and of course the children’s anticipation of the big event – Christmas lists to Santa, cookie baking, making presents for loved ones.

Your snowflakes are awesome!

I’m glad I read Carla’s response about the fruitcake! I pick one or two things from a Holiday gift magazine ( the yoyo wreath and little gift bags from last year) and make a bunch for family members. And then I bake and deliver to my friends and family – cookies, biscotti (so easy to make at home and so expensive to buy), fruitcake. Add an iTunes card to that for my grandson and my pension can cover it all! I love Christmas and REALLY love the issues with lots of gifts to make!

Making gifts for everyone used to stress me out a whole lot. The solution has been to simplify the gifts I make so that they get done in a timely manner.
