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!

    My favorite thing to do is put up my aluminum Christmas trees while listening to Christmas music. Love those wreaths!

    having the vanity plate FA LA LA should give you are pretty good idea how much I love the holidays! I go straight from jack-o-lanterns to Elf’s on the shelf. There is no time for Tom Turkey in my house! Let’s get decorating now!!!

    My favorite thing about the holidays is decorating the Christmas tree. I love pulling out all the old ornaments, some going way back to my parents’ first Christmas together in the late 60s. Each ornament has a story or a memory attached. After the tree is up, I like to lie on the floor (near the roaring fire of course) and admire it.

    Guess I should start thinking about Christmas! Our 1958 house needs to be decorated so I guess I should start looking around. This wreath would be a great start!

    I LOVE the cheer all around! The hustle and bustle in stores, the music playing everywere, watching spouses trying to find the perfect gift w/o a clue :), the red christmas cups…I love it ALL! 🙂

    And this wreath is AMAZING!!!

    My favorite part of Christmas is getting out decorations from childhood and seeing the wonder in the eyes of my child while sharing and giving and spreading good cheer 🙂

    our tradition was to set the christmas tree up while listening to Johnny Mathis’ Christmas album on vinyl. to this day I can’t get into the mood unless I play that album. this year will be really tough since my dad passed away…..now we will have to put an extra star on the tree
