Thoughts for the Holidays

So I am getting pretty pumped for Christmas. I love the warmth of a decorated Christmas house- the colors, the fun in the stores, etc.

I have always been one to make homemade presents. So when I saw this on Kayla's blog today I was like oh those are cute!So then I went in search of some homemade gifts and I found some super cute ones.--- So I am keeping those in mind as I continue to purge my paper and scrap goods-- I knew I had a lot but I had no idea how much!!

I just fount this idea for a homemade advent calendar on ali's blog here I love the colors on this-- the mixture of sizes--- super cute! ( I snagged these pics off her blog)-- but go check her blog out - she is a super inspiration and an awesome artist!
So anyway-- In thinking about the holidays I wondered what your favorite holiday tradition is? Do you do something special for Christmas? Does your family have some odd tradition (eating Chinese, Jonathan?)?! Fill me in- give me some great ideas as Ryan and start to build traditions as a couple- I would love to know your thoughts! Oh and what do you put in an advent calendar?

What is in those bottles anyway? Those are gorgeous! I'm super into homemade gifts too. My list is getting too long this year... at the rate I'm going, I'll need to be working on projects every evening between now and Christmas!

I'm going NOW to scour your paper blog and grab some stuff before it's gone...

I think it's hilarious that my grandmother (in her 70's) and uncle (in his 50's) still do the Santa thing for each other.

But as your husband, I vote for a kinky tradition.

I am so glad to have gotten together with you for coffee. I had a great time, and we should seriously do it again. Maybe you could even come over to play some card games or something in the near future. Anyway, you have a great blog, and like your thoughts about the holidays. We are still thinking of new family traditions we could have, so it's always great to get ideas.
