Every year, as a gift to readers, I buy a wreath from Suzy aka Georgia Peachez for this giveaway. Thank you, readers, for being THE BEST. I luv you! Suzy always jumps to help out. She gave me a great price (her wreaths now sell for $250! each!) — and quick as I asked, she made this special wreath just for us. She said:

Pam, I made a wreath with my two favorite elements, a knee hugger elf and a reindeer.

Heck to the yeah, knee hugger elf and reindeer! Thank you, Suzy!

    Thank you for the chance to win such a cool piece!
    I love Christmas time! The music, the lights, the decor, the food, the tradition, the reason why we celebrate it and of course getting to spend time with loved ones. And hectic as it is, I look forward to it every year.

    What fabulousness!!! It would go so good with my Shiny Brite ornaments on my tree. I love the sense of excitement, love, family, and happiness that comes with the season. Having my tree up already (yes, before Halloween even) just gives me so much cheer, especially on dark mornings while getting ready for work. I love the lights and nostalgic decorations that remind me of all my loved ones, here and gone!

    I adore this! My favorite part of the holiday season is cooking for my family many of the dishes my Granny made.
    Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

    Under every tree with smoke and log loaders and aquarium cars and crane cars and tunnels made out of presents and whistles…

    Possibly my favorite thing is making and decorating sugar cookies with my collection of cookie cutters. I have cookie decorating parties for friends and relatives where all is ready to decorate. This year we’ll be doing a Retro Christmas theme with cookies baked with the red plastic imprint cutters. I also want to make a cookie village that looks like Putz houses.

    My favorite part of the holidays is spending time decorating my home and tree with my family. It is something we all have a lot of fun doing together. We are all busy between work, school and activities that family time is often put on a back burner, but not the holidays this is when we all get to spend some good quality time together. Hope you all enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine! Best Wishes!
