My favorite Christmas item is my cross-stiched stocking that my grandmother made me before I was born. It is filled every year with lots of goodies from Santa. When I see it, I think Christmas.
Thank you for doing this wonderful giveaway!
Aww I love this give-away! My favorite decoration is mistletoe :) And in more of a cheesy way, not a sleazy way, haha!
I cant pick just one, so I'll share all three; my favorite christmas ornaments are my okra santa's (painted to look just like a long skinny santa!), and my Hallmark moving ornaments (the carousel is my favorite!), and I love my handmade monogrammed elfish stocking!
My favorite is a really old fabric angel that goes on our tree every year! Its very sentimental, and cute!
This is a great giveaway!
another amazing giveaway... you really outdo yourself :) My favorite Christmas decorations are nutcrackers because they can have different themes and I have been collecting them for years. :) What's yours?
Coming from Texas, but living in Colorado, I get teased for still saying ya'll wouldnt that be a great christmas decoration!

My favorite Christmas decoration is a set of four felt ornaments of Wizard of Oz characters. My grandmother and aunt sewed and embellished them for me when I was six and a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan. They are still my favorite!
So Cute!! Count me in! I love the old fashioned colored lights :)
I think my favorite ornament is the silly rice "lollipop" that I made when I was in pre-school. It sheds rice every year but, my mom still has it and still puts it up. I guess I'm just kind of proud that it's lasted this long!

My favorite Christmas item is my christmas stocking that was cross-stiched by my mother when I was a baby. It has a picture of a little girl's bedroom right after Santa came complete with dolls and popcorn garland on a little Christmas tree. It has red velvet for the back. I love this decoration and always enjoy looking at my it all full on Christmas morning!
Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite Christmas item is the beautiful bow that tied to the top of our tree and finishes it off perfectly.
Wow, that is the cutest!
My favorite christmas decoration is my collection of vintage Shiny Brite ornaments. Some are very old and were my great aunts and so they have special meaning to me besides just being pretty!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love their signs! My favorite Christmas decoration is my shiny green mini tree that is decorated with all pink ornaments and ribbon.
What a cute give away! My favorite Christmas decoration is definitely my mother's Hummel Nativity Scene. She even has additional sheep and cows because we thought the single one the set includes would be lonely!
How cute! My favorite Christmas decor is my big wreath on our red front door. It always is a classic!

My favortite Christmas item is the pink tree I got this year for my girls playroom. I have started collecting girly ornamanets for it, and I can't wait to enjoy it every year!
I love the Tuscan navitiy scene that we got as a gift 2 years ago!
I used to love to put out the nativity when I was growing up. I especially loved putting the angel on the top of the stable. Now that I am married, we have our own nativity that we purchased in Mexico on our honeymoon. I hope that my son will enjoy this as he grows.
That is so adorable! I love that would give it to my best friend!
My favorite Christmas decoration is to use balls in all sorts of different containers - so festive!
Great give-away! My favorite Christmas item is my childhood stocking. It has sequins on it and is so blissfully gaudy. My mother still hangs it up every year.
My favorite Christmas decoration is my collection of King Arthur carved santa's. King Arthur was the artists call sign in Vietnam and each santa reminds him of a friend who did not make it home. They all have a personal touch (holding something like a dog, teddy bear, book). They are simply beautiful.
My favorite Christmas decorations are the ornaments with pictures of me and my sister as kids in them. We like to hang our own baby pictures on the tree. :)
My favorite Christmas item is my Mom's natavity scene. It's very old and has been around since I was born. I always loved playing with it as a child, and still do as an adult!
My favorite Christmas decoration...that's a tough one! It would be either the little tiffany box ornament my mom gave me or a little angel ornament I made as a child.
My favorite christmas ornament is a sterling silver cross that has the birthdates of everyone on my mother's side of the family from my great grandmother down to my daughter...the youngest adult female member of the family is the keeper of the cross and must get the new dates engraved..it dates back to the 1880's and hangs in a shadowbox during the holidays and in a safe deposit box the rest of the year...i love having something that connects me to my relatives that are no longer with us during the holidays
My favorite decoration is new - it is an animated nutcracker duck! The cutest thing!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
My favorite would have to be a Nutcracker. Not just because I love going to the performances (wouldn't be all like to be Clara?) every year but because I remember my mother collecting them. When it came time to put out the decorations she would line up her favorites across the mantle! I also secretly like tinsel just because it is shiny!
My favorite Christmas item is a stocking for my daughter sewn by her great grandmother. It's just beautiful
My favorite christmas decoration is the old woodland forest Santa that my mom got me my first Christmas as a wife. That was over ten years ago and still, when I pull it out of the box, I get that warm tingly feeling I got when I was a newlywed decorating our home for Christmas for the first time!
My favorite Christmas Decoration is my nativity. My mom purchased it when she was a teenager living in Italy and gave it to me for my first Christmas that my husband and I married. I love the smell when I open the box and I love that it is the TRUE meaning of the season!!
that sign is adorable! my favorite christmas decorations are my Radko ornaments. All of them have special meanings ... like I have a yellow taxi cab for all of our trips to NYC, I have a golf tee from a time we went to the Masters, I have a pair of iceskates bc all of my friends from high school would go skating together each christmas. Things like that. I LOVE pulling them out each year and being flooded with great memories!
What a great giveaway! My favorite Christmas decoration is the felt advent calendar that my mother made for me when I was little - I still have fun putting the ornaments on the felt tree each day of December.
I love our family's advent calendar! Its my favorite thing to hang up each year :)
My favorite Christmas decoration is my santa hat back at my parent's house. We've had the same 4 santa hats since I can remember, mine is the one with the fluffiest ball on its tip! I would fight to the death with my sister to have that santa hat!
The giveaway is absolutely adorable!
What a cute giveway! My favorite Christmas item is my childhood stocking. It has a fuzzy white bear on it with my name on it - I got it when I was 2 years old and we still put it up every year!
Thanks for doing this - how fun!
My favorite decoration is this ornament that is very old and was on my grandmother's tree when she was a little girl - it is broken now but we still hang it on the tree because of all the history there!
Merry Christmas!
I love the Merry Christmas y'all sign. Sooo adorable! My favorite Christmas decoration is our monogrammed stockings. I can't wait to fill my husband's with lots of goodies this year!
My favorite Christmas decor is an old porcelain set of ice skaters that my grandmother has had since as far back as even my father can remember. They skate along a magnetic track and are the most darling little things! Definitely an antique!
Thanks for doing the giveaway! :)
My favorite Christmas decorations are my German nutcrackers. I have a number of them and my husband puts them on a shelf overlooking the great room.
My favorite Christmas item it our stockings I made them years ago but still love them to much to do new ones.

I have sooo many and would love to add this super cute southern sign as well. If I have to choose just one then I'd pick the handmade rag quilt tree skirt my aunt made for me.
My favorite decoration is an ornament someone made from our wedding invitation.
Too cute!! So lets see, my favorite personal decoration would have to be my prep-tastic monogrammed stocking that my mom needlepointed for me when i was little!! But my general favorite decoration would have to be simple green garland with white lights, i love it around doors, on mantels, just about anywhere that sits still :)
Soo cute!! My favorite Christmas decoration is our advent wreath at home. I just love it!
My favorite Christmas decorations are my two little girls' hand print ornaments from preschool...priceless! Happy Holidays!

My favorite Christmas decoration is my 12 Days of Christmas House of Hatten ornaments. They were designed by Denise Calla for House of Hatten in 1989. They are priceless to me since they are no longer made (and George W has them in the White House)!!!
Picking a favorite is quite difficult because I L-O-V-E Christmas. If I had to choose, it would have to be a miniature nativity set my mom bought for me about 20 years ago. It has a little manger you put together and the tiniest of people and animals to put inside.
My favorite Christmas decorations are my children's Christmas stockings! My mom cross-stitched one for each of them, and they are absolutely magnificent. True treasures . . .
What a cute giveaway! My favorite Christmas decoration is a wendy addison vintage glitter glassed star that hangs on my tree every year. It is aged and tarnished and I love it!!
My favorite Christmas decoration is my preppy pink Christmas tree!! I just love it!
I have lots of beautiful xmas things given to me over the years so this was tough. But my favorite xmas item is the pair of angel candle sticks my brother gave me years ago. Since I am am west coast gal moving to the south soon, I think this signage would be so appropriate!
My favorite decoration are my hand made Christmas ornament balls that my grandmother made when she was younger.
Thanks for doing this wonderful giveaway!
My favorite Christmas decoration is an ornament my family has had for as long as I can remember. We are from Baltimore and love crabs. The ornament is a crab shell made to look like Santa. Santa hat, jingle bell and cotton beard and all. Very, very Baltimore :)
A Christmas tree is my favorite. As a kid (and um...perhaps as an adult too....) I would lay under the tree and just look up at the lights and colors. It's so pretty and relaxing. I also love to just watch the snow fall from my warm bed with a hot beverage in hand.
My favorite decoration for Christmas is the nativity. We place it front and center in our family room to keep our focus on the real meaning for this special time of year. My boys love to arrange (and re-arrange!) the figures as they await the birth of the King. On Christmas Eve, we read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, then we cozy up together as Daddy reads from Luke 2. Then the youngest gets to set baby Jesus in the manger as we head off to bed with the wonder of Christmas in our hearts.
My favorite decoration is my toilet paper roll manger scene made by my oldest son when he was in preschool. Awesome!
Growing up, my family had a tradition of making our own tree ornaments, since we didn't have much money. Each year, we would choose a new design and spend hours as a family making enough to fill the tree. I still make them for my own tree. Each one is special, becasue it reminds me of the year when...
Thanks for the give-away. I know this artist personally. She is SO talented.
Love the giveaway! My favorite Christmas decoration is the big white wreath that goes on our front door each year.
My favorite Christmas decorations are my snow globes. I started collecting them at about 4 when I went to my first showing of the Nutcracker. I love them because they have the snow that we don't in hot Texas.
My favorite christmas items are my UNC nutcracker ornaments and my daughters first christmas picture. I also have my pink and green Lilly Pulitzer ornaments that I got last year on EBAY. Hard to choose just one thing!
My favorite Christmas item is something my family calls our "Santa Mantle". In our den where we have our family tree, the fireplace mantle is covered with different Santa Claus'. They range from wonderful ones from Neiman's to one that my brother and I made out of popsicle sticks in kindergarden. It's my favorite part of christmas placing the Santa's with my mother.
I have to ask, is there a way to purchase that "It's Christmas Ya'll" sign?? My best friend and mother would LOVE one! thanks!
My favorite Christmas decoration is my ornaments on my LR tree. They were all handmade by my grandmother and her sisters. Silk ornaments with velvet ribbons, crystals, pearls, sequins, etc. In colors of pink and red and green and blue and white, etc. I was somehow the lucky one that inherited them and proudly place them on my tree everyear.
My favorite Christmas decoration is my stocking. My Mom made it for my when I was a year old - it was my first monogrammed gift!
My favorite Christmas item is an ornament my mom made when I was a child. It is a fireplace with 5 stockings hanging over it, and the stockings are labeled with our names! I have always loved that ornament!
i love my advent calendar. it's probably older than I am and every day you "move the mouse" into the pockets that count up to Christmas Eve. It was even featured in "Four Christmases" randomly!
It's not so much an ornament as the way we decorate our stairs every year. They are wrapped in garland and lights all the way up that match the tree and look so pretty at night :)
My favorite ornament(s) are the my three children's "1st christmas" ornaments. It's special b/c it just reminds me of their first christmases. My two boys were both two months old on their first christmas and my daughter was 6 months old on hers...and looking at those ornaments reminds me of how time has just flown by since then. :( It's a happy and bittersweet time for me b/c I know they aren't going to stay small forever, but the ornaments will always remind me of their first Christmases! :)
oh I love these giveaway questions! They are so fun! I have two favorite decorations - the first is our Christmas tree because it is just beautiful and smells good and I love to look at all the ornaments and remember where they came from. I also love the monogrammed stockings my husband and I bought for our first Christmas - we even have one for our dog!
our tree, tall, fat and fresh...decorated in all my collection of Radko and hand blown glass ornaments that we have collected over the years - it is glorious and brings lots of joy!
