Being Dutch, we have enjoyed celebrating Sinterklaas, lots of fun with surprises...charleneprinsen@yahoo.com
~each year all my kids and their cousins get together to put on an impromptu concert for us, it started as the nativity and now it usually involves their various musical abilities, it's a highlight of Christmas for us as they've grown, even though 2 of them have graduated now!

My favorite tradition is decorating our tree and listening to Christmas music.

Beautiful! Some of my favorite Christmas traditions are decorating the tree with my kiddos and sweet husband and reminiscing about all of our special ornaments. As my kids are getting older, I value the handmade ones so much more! I love sipping hot cocoa and driving to see the Christmas lights while we listen to and sing carols. Watching White Christmas is a must. We also help with the family pictures at our local food bank's Christmas party. It's so much fun! My favorite tradition though, is probably the Christmas Eve party at my parents house with all the cousins and then taking pictures of the excitement and anticipation in the hall before we open presents in the morning.
Making Christmas pudding.
Thank you for the beautiful and generous giveaway.
Love your pups!
What lovely gifts these beautiful items would make! Our Christmas traditions include baking with the grandchildren to fill many baskets for family and friends.
Definitely decorating the tree with my grown boys and remembering when they made or received all the ornaments!:)
Gorgeous! Being with family...whatever we are doing :)

I found your blog through my daughter Jacquelyn and we both LOVE it! One of my favorite traditions over the holidays is simply family time. Another favorite tradition is redecorating our house with the reds and whites of winter! Thanks for your lovely inspirations!
Reading The Night Before Christmas to the kids and now grands from the same book. Also baking and decorating cookies. chedeb5353@hotmail.com
I love getting together with the whole family, especially now that my daughter only comes home a couple of times a year.
Your home is beautiful. I love the rustic mixed with glamorous touches!
Our favorite Christmas tradition is baking and decorating sugar cookies. It's messy but fun!
Wowwwwwwww...love your Christmas decorations !!...your hone is beautiful...!!...xxx!
Singing Christmas songs!
Will be pinning! :)
My favorite holiday tradition is playing Christmas music, baking cookies, and decorating for the holidays with my family all while dancing and singing!
Wow - what a giveaway and beautiful pictures. My husband and I have started a new tradition now that our daughters have moved away. We used to go out and look for hours for that "perfect tree". Now we go out and purchase what we call a "Charlie Brown Christmas tree", one that is completely wrapped up. It is a complete surprise what the tree will look like and I must say that every year the tree is just gorgeous! It is perfect!! Merry Christmas!
So many great traditions it is hard to choose! Being together as a family is the most important whether it is baking so many cookies when our daughters are home or gathering everyone around the tree on Christmas eve for gift exchange and our traditional Shepards Pie dinner.
My favorite tradition is getting together some things for a family in need. maphipps@bellsouth.net
What a lovely and generous giveaway!Thanks for the chance to win! My favorite tradition is making gingerbread houses :)

I absolutely love your blog and find your photos and style to be very inspiring. A favorite Christmas tradition for our family is to create an advent wreath with fresh greens and candles and then to light the candles and read scripture each day as we anticipate celebrating Christ's birth and promise to come again to restore all things.

I love all your beautiful pictures including the Frenchie. My favorite tradition is opening gifts with my children who come home for Christmas,making a huge breakfast and then cuddling around the tree.
It's probably silly, but my favorite Christmas tradition is simply listening to Christmas music with my boys :-)...I also love decorating my home at Christmastime...
My favorite tradition is decorating the tree with all of my kids reminiscing about the ornaments and what they remember from past holidays. andersonclan(at)mac(dot)com
We are far away from our families, so, living in southeastern North Carolina, we drive to the beach. Sometimes, we walk on the beach. When we chicken out from the chill, we just look at the water from the car! At least we can tell the family in Colorado and Ohio that we went to the beach!
My favorite Christmas tradition is to come up with something magical for the children to do. This year we are making snow and since we live in the south they will think it is awesome. Thank you for the generous giveaway, love the pups.
I pinned this on Pinterest.
My favorite family tradition is baking lots of sugar cookies and then the family gathers to decorate them. Aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. There is a lot of laughter and love. We've been doing this for 30 years!

WOW! Give away of all giveaways!! Love everything about Dreamy Whites!
Our tradition includes making my mom's sugar cookies with icing! The recipe comes from an old Betty Crocker cookbook that my dad gave my mom when she was 19 years old! Even though my son is 14 years old now, he still manages to sneak in by "helping" in some way (mostly eating them!)
Thanks for the giveaway!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I would say our favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the tree while listening to Ray Conniff Christmas music, which is what I grew up listening to (thanks Mom! ) and what my adult children (27 and 24) love as well. It's a magical feeling when you gently unwrap the vintage ornament from its tissue paper home of the last year and find the perfect place on the tree. I always get a lump in my throat when "O Holy Night" comes on..."the thrill of hope, a weary world rejoices".
I adore your home. Thank you for sharing its beauty with us. Merry Christmas!
My favorite holiday tradition is gathering with our large extended family each Christmas Eve since I was a child. We share in great food, christmas goodies and most of all sharing special memories of Christmas' gone by. Favorite time of year!! Best for the holiday to Dreamywhitesonline.com!! ~Best, Nicole #paperskyco #dreamywhitesonlinegiveaway #dreamywhiteslifestyle
Cozy days and nights with the family around the fireplace surrounded by christmas lights.
Our favorite tradition is an activity advection calendar. We do activities and service projects as a family.
What a wonderful giveaway! I guess our family tradition would be gathering with the grandmas on Christmas eve. We look forward to it every year. We gather for dinner and afterwards a time of gift sharing. A great time is had by all.

We have lunch at my husband's business, Christmas Eve service at Church and home for sandwiches and then we let our daughter open one present. Thanks for the chance to win!
As a small child, my family would gather for dinner
on christmas eve with dessert being a angel food "birthday" cake for Jesus. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and the youngest sibling would get to blow out the candle~
As we have grown, married, and have had children of our own, we still gather on Christmas Eve and we still have angel food cake. We still sing " Happy Birthday" to Jesus and the youngest of all the cousins now blows out the candle~
I am hosting this year...I will be making the angel food cake!
Wonderful giveaway...shared on FB!
~Beautiful pictures to just look at...shared on pinterest~eye candy for those that love white!
Our Christmas tradition is that on Christmas Eve we get to open one present "from the Elves", which is always new pajamas and slippers.
Thank you for the giveaway!!
Love everything, Maria!! I get up at 4:00 AM on chrustmas morning to make French Breakfast Muffins. The whole family looks forward to these warm-from-the-oven treats while we open presents.

I love all your beautiful pictures,❤️💚❤️ My favorite Christmas tradition is have my family come up to my cabin in lake arrowhead, ca for Christmas dinner.
My most favorite holiday tradition is to go to the woods the weekend after Thanksgiving and gather greens, cedar whenever possible. These are wired together for a swag on the porch rail with waterproof plaid ribbons, and to make a wreath for the front door, adding some gathered cones with the greens and ribbon. The fragrance of the greens and the life add so much as snow often falls throughout December here in Montana.

My favorite Christmas tradition is opening my boxes of vintage Shiny Brite ornaments given to me long ago from my mother, and decorating our tree. So many memories!! Love all your giveaway items. Your shop is one of my favorites and I recall your booth at Remnants of the Past in prior years. Always lovely!
Such an amazing giveaway! My favorite tradition is decorating the tree while listening to Christmas music :-)
Some of my favorite traditions include baking Christmas cookies, making homemade ornaments, and a new favorite is watching our littles decorate our cabin with handmade ornaments and pinecones or cedar branches they've gathered outside :)
Everything is so lovely! My favorite tradition is Christmas Eve at my parents' house with family and friends.
Our favorite family tradition was our annual drive to downtown Pittsburgh to see the Christmas windows at the large department stores. We would beg our dad to go around the blocks "just one more time!"

We love getting large trees for our house. Last year we cut a 12 foot tree the day after Thanksgiving and took it down the first of March! It was an amazingly fresh Grand Fir. trimmed to 11 1/2 ft and lit up like a Christmas tree, with white lights, white gold and silver
natural ornaments and burlap garland and tree skirt. We enjoyed it every night of the season and beyond, sitting by the fire, lighting the tree and listening to Christmas Music (Relaxing Christmas, a gift from our son 7 years ago) is a favorite!
Our favorite tradition is to to go midnight mass all dressed up ant then come home and eat dinner, yes, very late, and open presents.... I love it! Alicia. ( pelugo@ aol.com)

Thank you for this incredible give-away Maria! Our family tradition is that after our family attends Christmas Eve church service, we gather around the tree to give each other one special "Open on Christmas Eve" gift. My 'girls' (now 47 and 18) ALWAYS get a new red nightgown and have since birth.
I have posted this wonderful give-away on Pinterest!

I have shared your give-away on my Face Book page.
On Christmas day my entire family comes over, aunts,uncles, cousins, everyone. We eat and chat and have a great time. It is always nice to see family that you don't get to see everyday.
Hubby's Fab French Toast for Christmas Brunch with all the kids and grandkids. Love your home!
I love all your beautiful photos! Every year we have a family Christmas Eve dinner then head off to the Midnight Mass. Once we are back home we relax and each open one gift from under the tree. It is a tradition that was adapted from my husband's French family's celebrations. Patty/NS
My favorite tradition is driving to a small local community with my family to see an amazing sight........ a few evenings just before Christmas, a church in the area has a "Living Nativity". Members of the church volunteer to re-enact vignettes on a 2 acre farm out here in the middle of Central California farmland. It's a drive through!
I shared on Pinterest ... Heather stewart. @ heathertwist
Our favorite Christmas tradition is to open our gifts on Christmas Eve. Before we do that, we have a meal of everyone's favorite hors d'oeurves. On Christmas morning, we exchange stocking stuffers.

What a fabulous giveaway!!! Our favorite tradition is to make cut out cookies (16 dozen) and decorate them. One year I decided not to make them and my son (who was 40) said I had to as that was Christmas...I said not this year so he went and bought everything he needed to make them. He called and said "Mom, these are a lot of work!" But he did it.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this generous gift!
Oh such nice atmosphere....love your pictures! The green and your little dog
Our tradition is only to keep it simple and cosy. Our family all together and being together, talking, laughing and some dining........the perfect Christmas for me
Wishing you the same
Fine days
My favorite Christmas tradition is filling white paper bags with sand and candles all along our front walk on Christmas Eve. The luminaries are gorgeous when lit, especially if there's snow!

Every Christmas Eve after early church we come home and eat a casual dinner of ham , then watch The Christmas Story on TV. Before going to bed my husband still reads The Night before Christmas to my three children who are now college age, something we have done ever since they were toddlers. I stuff stockings after the kids go up and while the two of us watch Its a Wonderful Life. There are so many great traditions it is hard to pick!!
My favorite tradition is to watch Little Women. The newer version with Susan Sarandon. I've been following your blog for years. Love it all!
So happy to see more of your posts-you always have the most beautiful pics! One of our favorite traditions is to make a gingerbread house. We always take a photo, and it's so much fun to see how they have evolved from the time when my girls were little, to the "masterpieces" they create as young adult women. What a wonderful giveaway-thank you for the chance to win!
My favorite family Christmas tradition is our "Last Supper" dinner on Christmas Eve. We eat like the Savior and his disciples ate at the Last Supper... We turn out the lights and eat by candle light, we serve baked fish (fish sticks when the kids were little), loaves of fresh bread, olives, cheeses and cubed salami and ham.... and we eat with our hands. We don't drink wine so we serve purple grape juice in goblets. Doing this always seems to bring the sweetest, reverent feelings to our home on such a special night.
We love to pick a new ornament for each of our four kids each year that represents their interest, or a special trip or event from the year. When they are grown they will take their ornaments to trees in their own homes :) Your home and photos are so lovely.
our family tradition is to put a penny inside pierogi.whoever find it wil be lucky and wealthy the whole next year mail:eenigma@vp.pl

I'm italian and here the 8th of December is a national holiday. When my first daughter was born, I decided to create my own Christmas tradition: every 8th of December we decorate the tree, bake cookies and watch a movie!
A huge give away! Your blog is always charming and inspirational. That pillow slip has my husbands monogram! Fingers crossed. I will be posting to instagram and twitter.

My favorite Christmas tradition is being with my family and eating huge home cooked meals for a week.
Wow. What an incredible giveaway!
Each year my mom and I (we're a tiny family) watch Scrooged on Christmas eve and open one gift each. The same argument always ensures: she wants to open them all and I tell her that we must wait until Christmas day. (I'm 32 years old.)
Pinned an image on Pinterest as well.
Our favorite Christmas tradition is giving our boys Christmas Eve jammies and reading The Night Before Christmas with them. I love the excitement Christmas brings for kids.
Loving your give-away! All of our daughters are out of the house now, so our favorite tradition is to have the girls and their families come over a few weeks before Christmas to decorate our real Christmas tree. They love to reminisce about the ornaments and how they used to play with the ornaments on the tree when they were little. Each daughter has a collection of ornaments we bought them through the years, and they hang on our family tree proudly!
Our family is heavily involved with musical production at our church every Christmas season called The Gospel According to Scrooge. It's a free gift to our community. Requires a ton of work, five performances, but well worth the sacrifice.
This is a drool-worthy giveaway! Beautiful treasures! I tweeted about it.
My favorite tradition is Christmas Eve with all my siblings and getting to watch the little ones open their presents. Christmas is so much more fun with kids!
My favourite tradition is baking the Christmas goodies. And every year I try one new recipe.

Your pictures make me wish I could step right into them :)!

We cut our Christmas tree on our farm. As fresh as it gets.
What an amazing giveaway! I loved this post for the beautiful Christmas pictures-every one of them! One of my favorite traditions is cooking up a big pot of chili for dinner on Christmas with everybody gathered around the table. The tree lights are on and Christmas music is playing. Then, we go to Christmas Eve church, come home and open one gift.
I posted this giveaway on my Instagram.
I also pinned it to my Christmas page.
And last, I posted on Twitter as well.
Puppy is just stealing my heart. What a cutie.
Thankfully I made many traditions for all of the holidays with my children. Now, my youngest daughter who is 30 years old, still bakes cookies on Christmas Eve day together. We bake the same cookie that I taught her to make for her girl guide bakers badge. She calls them chocolate thumb prints, I call them love. It feels so incredible to be together doing this every year.
We always cut a slice out of our Christmas tree put a hole in the top, add ribbon, have each family member sign and add the year. These become Christmas ornaments. Dena wayne.gentry@gmail.com
We have many traditions, but one of our favorites is getting together with cousins and grandparents and baking cookies for teacher gifts... my mom reads a lovely Christmas cookie book that we bought for her years ago and the grandkids and kids never tire of it. Love the smell of fresh baked cookies that everyone has a part in making. Made with love.
One of our favorite traditions is a family brunch after we open gifts on Christmas morning! I just found your blog for the first time and love it! Everything you have is just beautiful! Happy Holidays! heavner9@yahoo.com
My favorite tradition is cooking Christmas brunch for my family....which now includes my four grandchildren!

My favorite Christmas tradition is the Christmas music, I try to create a new mix each yr to play while opening gifts.
One of our traditions is that the youngest child gets held up on dad's shoulders to add the star to the top of the tree. It's the last thing we do to the tree. Our kids are about to e too big for this anymore, so I guess we will have to start a new tradition! Thank you for his lovely give-away and the constant inspiration and eye candy!

Our favorite tradition is finding ways to make others Christmas brighter, but doing so unanimously.
my favorite holiday tradition is watching Elf with my family! I don't think i will EVER get tired of that movie ;)
Our Christmas tradition is to spend the week with my sister and her family. We have supper and then attend Christmas Eve service. After the service, friends stop by to see everyone and have some refreshments. Christmas Day we all get up and watch the kids open presents first. Then the adults open their gifts. Christmas lunch is special with great food, family, and friends.

Our family traditions for Christmas are:
* Reading the story of the birth of Jesus on Christmas Eve.
* We will also read the "Night before Christmas "
* We set out cookies & milk for Santa and carrots and Glittery oatmeal for the Reindeer.
* We will turn off all the lights except for the Christmas tree and sit quietly talking with our children while relishing the twinkle lights and our favorite ornaments.
* Last, before we retire to bed is to quietly place baby Jesus in the Nativity Manger so that when our child awake they will know that we remember his birth.
*. The children let mommy start her coffee brewing before she sits down to open the exciting gifts that magicaly appeared under the tree. Tteague2@triad.rr.com
Your posts are always so inspiring. My favorite Christmas tradition started when I was 5 years old. That was the year my Dad said I have a secret for you. He said Santa really likes Fritos and Coke much better than milk and cookies. That was the first Christmas I left a bottle of coke and a plate of Fritos for Santa on Christmas Eve. My father passed away in 2002, but this was a tradition that I continued with my own family and continue to do even though our youngest left home 17 years ago. Of course I know my Dad was right, because I still find an empty coke bottle and all the Fritos eaten when I get up Christmas morning. ----Debra
One of our favorite traditions at Christmas is opening our family gifts from each other. Eating Christmas Dinner together and watching a Christmas show on TV or at the movies. We also read about our Savior to remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Our favorite Christmas tradition is to open our Christmas eve pajamas and watch Home Alone. It gets everyone in the mood for Christmas morning and reminds us that family is what the holiday is all about. Calleigh Miller kleeqa@yahoo.com
I love to drive around old neighborhoods to see their Christmas decorations with the family, and then drink cocoa and watch Christmas movies.
Everything is just so lovely!
Our favorite tradition is decorating the tree and reminiscing about each ornament as we hang it on the tree.
Your photos are always so gorgeous!
One of my favorite traditions is creating homemade gifts for each other. It makes me happy to see my girls all knitting together, and the older kids helping the younger ones create gifts for grandparents and other relatives. Thanks so much for the beautiful inspiration!

I shared the giveaway on my Facebook page.
Your home is so beautiful! Light, airy and so comfortable. I love your shop and have purchased from you and loved my items. A favorite holiday tradition is that we saved our change all year, even the kids and then took a night to count it with hot chocolate & whip cream and some snacks to see how much we had saves. We all wrote on a piece of paper our guess of the total, whoever was closest without going over would win a gift card to a store or a shopping trip. Then with the money we would go out and shop for a Christmas tree! I miss it, it was so much fun.
Thanks so much!

We started a game night a few years ago. It's a time each year when friends old and young come together and have a fun evening playing games, eating and drinking, I look forward to it each year now.
I am so in love and inspired by this post.....every picture is lit up with beautiful light and composition !!!
We traditionally go caroling a week before Christmas at our local museum where candlelit tours and a large bonfire glows. The local brass ensemble accompanies the singing in front of the Hotel and General Store. Afterwards all meet at the "yellow barn" and enjoy cider and cookies.
I love your blog and this post is extra lovely.....shared to Facebook and hope I am the winner.
I am following you on Pinterest and PINNED your lovely wreath giveaway picture.

Our favorite tradition is going to my 95 year old mother in law's house for dinner on Christmas Eve. She still cooks shrimp cocktail and Spaghetti dinner for us. We are so fortunate.
Beautiful pictures. Really like the plain Christmas tree. Tradition for me is making my Norwegian grandmothers Jule Kake.
My favorite tradition is decorating the tree and then enjoying hot cocoa and Christmas cookies in front of the lit tree.
A favorite tradition is making mincemeat cookies. They are my dad's favorite and I love making them for him. I want a Frenchie for Christmas!
Love your photos! Our favorite tradition is the annual creation of our gingerbread houses. The best part is shopping the candy store for all the decorations.
picking out and cutting our tree at the same tree farm for the last 15 years.
Favorite family tradition is to play board games and watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

On Christmas Day my husband and I spend the day making home made pierogi. We make two different kinds.
before i even get to traditions....i want you to know that when i read through your post...and then went to your online shop....i wept. everything is so lovely...so beautifully displayed and the pictures reached right into my heart. i love antiques because it is as though the love for all those treasures by those who once had them seems to imbue every single perfect thing with ghosts, if you will. they lasted beyond the person that once loved them and treasured them. when i saw the sleds, i thought of all the little tummies and bottoms resting on them as they raced down hills or were pulled by a papa or maman. touches my heart so much. thank you for such a visual feast. my tradition, based on ones we did when my children filled my home, is giving for the entire month of december: dropping a dollar into the salvation army bucket, donating blankets or coats or food, surprising someone with a handmade gift, sharing a book or carol or movie, writing a note of thanks and slipping it into a christmas card....it could be anything, but each day begins with finding someone to gift. it brings the spirit of the season to my heart and each day is decorated with joy. thank you for the most generous giveaway i've even seen. ever. i cry even thinking about someone's heart overflowing when they find out they win everything you are giving. you will make someone's christmas one to remember. thank you. angelheartcottage@comcast.net
My favorite tradition is unpacking all the ornaments we have collected over the years and remembering past Christmases. Baking the same Christmas treats every year is also nice. Thank you for the chance to win.
In our home, we like to ask our little children to write letters to Santa on Christmas Eve. We then make cookies together that night. Santa replies to them every time. Our children love to read letters from Santa before they open their Christmas presents. Thanks, Kristie

My favorite tradition is making tamales with my grandmother. We've done it every year since I was little. She passed away this August so the tradition will be me and my mom now.

Not sure that I have a Christmas tradition, but I do love to make sure to eat those mint Christmas tree nougat candies every Christmas. :)
My favorite tradition is putting candle lights in the windows as we live at the top of a hill in a 100 year old two story home with a finished attic. So Pretty at night. Also special times spent with family on Christmas Eve are favorite traditions . This is a lovely giveaway. I would be truly blessed if I were to win. Thank you for your generous heart this season.
