My favorite holiday to celebrate is Christmas. Yes, I love all the pretty decorations and celebration, but for me it is more. It centers around my faith in Jesus for one, but it also is centered around family and friends, being with those you love, and showing that love by giving gifts. I love giving gifts more than receiving them. Christmas gives me the chance to make things for all those who are special to me, and seeing they eyes light up. There is nothing like that warm feeling when you see someone you love feeling special because of your gift to them. That is why I love cebrating Christmas best!
My favorite holiday to craft for is Christmas. It is such a joyous holiday & has so many different things you can make. Just finished a counted cross stitch stocking for my grandson. It’s a holiday that you can work on year round!
I love Halloween! Just love all the cute and spooky decorations.
This picture of the dip/chip bowl looks so festive….we had get togethers for all of the first things….new years, super bowl, nascar start, all holidays, and so on…..you could decorate this bowl to suit any occasion…and it would work great…would love to win the prize… thank you….
Even at my age I still love Christmas the most. I enjoy working with my church buying gifts for those in need.
I like to make crafts for all holidays or for no special occasion, but my favorite personal holiday is still Christmas.
My favorite holiday has always been Thanksgiving. Partially because I love fall, and for us it’s not as crazy hectic as Christmas.
I love to celebrate them all! And on Saterday for Cinco De Mayo I’m hosting a ladies craft and lunchon day to make wedding favors & table decorations for my sons up coming June wedding. And because it’s Cinco De Mayo & my new daughter-in-law to be is Spanish, the luncheon will consist of delicious Mexican food!
