Your pictures are just stunning. Your little frenchie's in the pics are too adorable too. Our family traditionally each year go out and do random acts of kindness all together. It is fun to come up with different ways to share during this time with others and since we do it all together it a fun sharing family time. Sometimes we go out to dinner or lunch together and pick up the table next to us tab or leave a wonderful tip for the wait staff that took care of us. There are so many different fun things we come up with to share with others. Thanks for the chance in this beautiful giveaway.

Gathering for church, dining w family, and being grateful to have each other!
Gorgeous decor for the holidays. We have a new ornament frame with a photo of our daughter in it each year to hang on the tree. She loves seeing all of her photos over the years and baking gingerbread cookies together
As it is the season of giving each year we try to install the importance of giving in our children by sharing our blessings. Be it Operation Christmas Child boxes, purchasing goats as gifts to African families, wreaths for Veterans or creating blessing bags to pass out to those in need. No matter what we chose we come away merry and bright.
Hi, our family tradition is to have a real Christmas tree, we make tamales and hot fruit punch, have our xmas dinner on December 24th, then on the 25th we gather around the tree and we give each other our presents taking time to read the messages from the xmas cards many made by hand. These is what we did when living with our parents, today we continue the tradition , the main thing was being together as a family. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a fabulous gifts. God bless you and Merry Christmas! Blanca Martinez

Yours is still, without a doubt, the most beautiful home on the net. And you always have the most generous giveaways.
Favorite tradition. Making "snowball" cookies. I always remember my dad making them in the kitchen in the 60s. A favorite memory, brought back every year when I bake.

It is tradition in our home to make caramels and gingersnap cookies. What a beautiful collection

Just coming back after sharing on FB. Thanks again for this awesome giveaway.
Merry Christmas
My favorite holiday tradition is our Christmas Eve tradition which starts with a Christmas breakfast for family and close friends (all of us wearing our Christmas PJs) and ending with the girls opening two presents before going to bed. One, a new set of Christmas PJs and a special ornament to be put on the tree. They've got quite the collection now that will be boxed up and given to them once they have their own homes some day.

I especially remember Christmas Eve at my house when I was growing up. I come from a large family, and on Christmas Eve, we would have a family (kids only) pajama party. This way, we would all come downstairs at the same time. It was a magical moment.
One of my favorite traditions is wearing cozy new pajamas on Christmas eve and waking up in them and opening presents on the Christmas day.
Beautiful and inspiring photos!
Regards,
Regina
Amazing items Maria!!
My favorite tradition is surprising the girls before they climb into their beds at night. They find a golden ticket on their pillow which means instead of bed they will be grabbing their slippers and we will be going to look at Christmas lights instead. When they climb into the car their seats are full of candies and milk for the ride. We've done this for the past two years and they love it. It's such an easy and free tradition spending time together!
just being with family is Christmas to me.
My favorite tradition is our Christmas Eve party. We invite all the neighbors, friends, and my kids friends all come. Now that one of the kids have moved away, if he cant come back his friends still come. People come throughout the night and the last people leave in the wee hours of the morning. I love this night because it's about the people, not gifts.
Such an amazing giveaway and I would be completely overjoyed if I won! I will definitely be sharing this on social media because everyone deserves a chance to enter this wonderful giveaway! Thank you so much for such a generous offering.......fingers crossed ;) xx ~Ashley

My favorite tradition is playing Christmas music in the morning while we open presents then making homemade waffles and bacon for my family for breakfast. Spending the whole day together is such a treat!
My favorite Christmas tradition is having my granny make her famous white coconut cake with a baby Jesus cake topper on it. We all get together and sing happy birthday to him while we blow out the candle. This will be the first Christmas without our sweet granny and we hope to continue the tradition with granny and baby Jesus in our hearts and on our mind. Erinriche51@gmail.com
My favorite tradition takes place on Christmas Eve. Every year since I was a little girl, my cousins and I would gather at my grandparents house on the sofa for a family portrait. We have one for every year, with the same colorful afghan. Now that my grandparents have passed, I have the afghan and am carrying on the same tradition.
My favorite Christmas tradition is putting up the tree and mantel decor on Friday night after thanksgiving with Christmas music playing in the background. Also, watching a Christmas carol has become tradition in our home. lmaxson@nd.edu

My favorite Christmas tradition is painting ceramic ornaments as a family. We started painting when I was five years old and now my children have begun their own hand painted collection. Our tree is filled with memories of time spent painting together.

My favorite Christmas holiday is the Candle light service at church. Singing Silent Night and turning around to look at the church lit is breath taking and tearful at the same time. Love your home photos and this grand giveaway! Di@Cottage-wishes
One of my favorite Christmas traditons is to go look at Christmas lights - one neighborhood in particular. They always go all out with insane decorations. We always put on holiday music as we drive by. We usually go on Christmas eve and when we get back home, we open one present! This year we just moved into our first house, so it's my first year really being able to decorate- and French farmhouse is just my style!!

The Advent Season is one of my favorite celebrations. Growing up in the Bavarian countryside of Germany where cold and snowy winter surrounds you most of the time it's been a favorite holiday countdown lingering in the warm rooms and enjoying this festivity with the family. The advent season starts with the first 4th Sunday before Christmas as we light one candle on the advent wreath, have coffee and homemade cookies while enjoying traditional Christmas music and reading books. We continue to do though until all 4 candles have been lit announcing the soon to be arrival of Christmas. Even now that I am in California I hold on to this custom and are enjoying it with my kids and husband.
Happy Holidays to all of you as well!!
I have created several holiday traditions for our family that we enjoy. One of my favorites is taking my mother and daughters for an afternoon and evening at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo. The lights and festivities are perfect for happy bonding and a needed shot of fun in such a busy season. Thank you for such a generous giveaway! Merry Christmas!

My favorite tradition is going to the fabulous 40's in downtown to see the Christmas lights on Christmas Eve. Then we go by the capital to see the big Christmas tree, we walk through the city arm in arm singing holiday songs and being silly. Lots of laughing and good old fashioned fun.

Your home is simply breathtaking! I adore everything...you have an amazing sense of style!:)
Our favorite family tradition is for my husband to put up the Christmas tree I do the lights, and then the kids (all 7 of them!:) have at it hanging all of the ornaments.
Our favorite tradition is receiving personalized ornaments from Santa each year. The ornament chosen reflects their year, an event, a sport, etc... Every year they look forward to putting up their ornaments from year one to now. Each ornament has their name and year on it. Eventually they will take their ornaments with them when they have their own families.
Such a beautiful giveaway.
In our home, we have collected Christmas ornaments from every place we have traveled. Our tradition is to decorate the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, and we love opening the ornament boxes and reliving some fond memories from our past adventures.
My favorite tradition is hunting for a Christmas tree with my kiddos. They love racing around the tree farm, hiding in the firs and searching for the perfect tree.
Hello,

On Christmas Eve, our family lights real candles on the tree. We turn out the lights and sit by the wood stove, drinking egg nog and singing carols until all of the candles have burned out one by one. That is the signal that it is time to go to bed!

Our family tradition is to gather everyone in the car(s) and drive around to see the beautiful, decorated homes in our area. Then afterwards, stop for hot cocoa before heading back home. Scooter4957@gmail.com
Our favorite tradition is cooking together on Christmas Eve. My husband bakes his family's recipe from Norway while I'm fixing the dinner we had as a child consisting of roast beef, mashed potatoes and green beans. Miss u mama and dad 🎄
I love these antiques! My favorite thing to do for Christmas is getting all of our antique decorations down from the attic, after we cut down our tree, then decorating it together while listening to Christmas music! I also love going to the woods with my kids & cutting smaller trees to put in stoneware/pitchers. The best part is going to Christmas candlelight service! jenibajo@aol.com
Every Christmas Eve we open our doors to all our friends that can't make it home to their family or worse yet don't have anyone to spend the holiday with. It's a great feeling to make someone's holiday cheery and bright! Thanks for the chance for the giveaway. Merry Christmas.

Our family Christmas Eve is very special to me... Presents, friends, German potato salad, a fire going. The years I've been abroad, and haven't been able to come home, I've felt somehow empty. The tradition of Christmas with family is to be cherished and treasured, and I know I do.
feedmecmooreatgmaildotcom
My favorite holiday tradition is decorating the tree with my husband. Every year we get an ornament that sums up the year for us or reminds us of the vacation we took for our anniversary that year, so it's a great way to remember each year we've been married.

Oh man, there are a few faves. But Christmas Eve cocoa, cookies, and first presents, or Christmas morning pajama breakfast are the best:)
Love this post! Everything is so beautiful! You are such an inspiration Maria! Our favorite tradition at the holidays is to eat doughnut holes, drink champagne and trim our tree together as a family! tonim0119@live.com
I have three fave traditions:
1-I have a St. Nicholas Tea Party
2- We feed birds on Christmas Eve
3- We place white roses on the manger scene at church before everyone comes
Favorite tradition is stocking opening with just my hubby and I, and usually a nice glass of wine. Such a peaceful sweet shared moment or two before all the hubbub begins!
My favorite family tradition is that my children - now ages 18, 16, 15 and 11 - still have a big slumber party in my eldest son's room on Christmas Eve! Of course, now they sleep in and we are actually up and about before they are on Christmas Day - but I love that they keep up that tradition amongst themselves! Kate in NY (kateonah at msn.com)
My favorite tradition with my little ones is dressing up like shepherds every christmas eve and turning all the lights out in the house with only a flashlight leading the way, looking for baby Jesus. My husband will set a a scene with the kiddos' stuffed animals surrounding a baby doll for us to find. The kids love it every year! And then we sing christmas songs. Such a sweet little night.
My favorite tradition is attending our towns Christmas parade. RFCHAR@AOL.COM
So many - dance recital, Home tours, looking at Christmas lights, family photo in front of tree.

What a beautiful giveaway! Our favorite family tradition is receiving holiday pajamas on Christmas Eve. After everyone opens up their pajamas we all change into them and snuggle up on the couch to read the story of Christ’s birth from the bible. This tradition always puts us in the Christmas spirit. missmelissa@q.com
Fave holiday tradition is definitely a visit to the farm on Christmas Eve followed by a beautiful baked brie with pears and fresh bread before dinner. :)
Christmas is such a bittersweet time for our family-our son, who was born on Christmas Eve, passed away at the age of two. We honor him by doing something special for children. Thank you, Maria for sharing such beauty all year long-may you and your family be richly blessed this season.

Hi Maria,
Oh gosh, what a generous giveaway! I just adore all your photos of the most beautiful European products in your gorgeous home. Thank you for this chance.
My favorite Christmas tradition is called 'one day closer to Christmas' which originated in my husband's large family. Our children take turns hanging figures from the Nativity story on our Advent calendar each night, we ring a bell & everyone shouts & claps 'one day closer to Christmas!'.
Just shared on Pinterest - thanks!

One of our favorite traditions is making peppermint bark with our grandkids and sharing with family, friends and neighbors.
Obsessed. Looking at all of this makes me so happy. What beauty in the way everything is decorated. Our twins are celebrating their first christmas this year and I can't wait to share with them our family christmas eve food traditions - from my great grandma's meatballs, grandma's toffee bars and the norwegian lefse it's a smorgasbord that the entire family takes part in. I can't wait to have the twins help in the preparation of everything once they are older. Instead of gifts with the extended family we write love notes or gratitude notes for everyone and read them aloud during dinner. :)

There is so much simplistic, yet elegant Christmas décor and it is all so pretty! I love the beautifully shaped unadorned tree and the wonderful natural wreath.
Our favorite Holiday tradition is to pick a favorite restaurant for Christmas Eve dinner. We are only a family of three and we love to keep our celebration simple. Later, we open presents and share stories from the past.
Thanks for the opportunity to join your giveaway!
hugs
Sissie
whew! what's not to do...favorite though? Baking rugelach, and stressing, lots of stressing. I know the kiddos want presents, and they get them but I try to have something for later in the day, a surprise of one last gift. "oh, look, there's presents tucked back here"!
good luck to all, and enjoy your win.
My favorite Christmas tradition over the years has been everyone going to bed in new pajamas and waking up Christmas morning to filled stockings and presents from Santa! Suzanne

Favorite tradition...I guess the one that really stands out to me is that from the time my kids were babies my mom would have each one of them along with the rest of the grandchildren play a part in re-enacting the nativity scene...costumes and all. Now I my kids are grown and their children are taking their place. Wonderful memories that still continue!!
I shared on my facebook page. Thanks again!!
I love the entire Christmas season from Thanksgiving till Christmas. I love decorating and shopping and this holiday combines both.
I just shared on my Pinterest board titled Christmas beauty. Thank you.
We have a lot of traditions at Christmastime. I think my favorite is going to church Christmas Eve, then coming home for a casual light supper, eating Christmas cookies with hot cranberry punch while we open our stocking gifts. Yes, we do that at night, everyone is relaxed, enjoying being together as a family.
Mary Alice
We love going to the Candlelight dinner on Christmas eve and then going to my grandmas for the dinner!

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Growing up my Grandma would make all of these homemade goodies and bring them to our house for Christmas. She would bring them in a laundry basket. She would also have wrapped gifts in a basket. She was all alone and would spend all of that time making it special for her grandchildren. I do that now for my children when we go to Grandma and Grandpa's. Makes me want to cry thinking about it.
I make goodies for the neighborhood. I also try to remember those people so many forget. Like the mail man and the bus drivers for my children, the helpers at school. I just surprise them with roses, etc. to show my love and appreciation.

My favorite tradition is baking/decorating cookies with all the ladies in my family -- grandma, mom, aunts, cousins -- we blast the Christmas carols, make a huge mess, and enjoy every second! :-)

My favorite holiday tradition is the blessing my husband writes and reads over each of our children on Christmas morning.

My favorite thing to do is gather with friends, head up to the mountains, we all choose a tree to take home. Then we build a small fire to have hot cocoa listen to one of the families sing Christmas carols. It is a tradition I have done since I was a little girl an it will live on for generations.
Merry Christmas and thank you for your generosity.
Our favorite tradition is going to cut down a fresh tree, coming home to hot chocolate and Christmas classics.
For as long as I can remember my family bakes and decorates a Gingerbread House(s) for Christmas. The tradition continues with my nieces. On New Year's Eve my brothers entertain everyone by blowing up the houses with fire crackers. I'll never forget the first time my brothers did it. No one knew what was going to happen. The look on my Mom's face will forever be etched into my mind.
I emailed this to my Dad. He is from Germany and loves the traditional European Christmas.
One of our favorite family tradition during the holidays is decorating the tree together with music and later choosing names secret santa gifts. Oh...and everyone of your photos are over the top FaBuLous!

Your home is just beautiful. I enjoyed all the pictures. Had to smile at the pup or
pups.
Our traditions have changed since our children have families of their own. I must saying finding a special gift for each grandchild and watching the smiles on their faces.

One of my favorite family traditions is how we spend Christmas Eve... We gather together and attend our Christmas Eve Church service and then come home and put the star on the top of the tree. Each year the kids rotate who gets to do it. Then our kids open their secret Santa gifts from one another and new jammies from us to wear to bed.
Pinned on Pinterest! :-)
