On Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, we are having homemade clam chowder. I got the recipe from out East when I lived in PEI and Nova Scotia for 14 years, and brought the tradition of clam chowder back home to Ontario with me. Thank you for the chance to win this gorgeous stamp set.

[Kamie]

Opening Christmas Jammie's on Christmas Eve, having my mother her to visit, ham dinner with cheesy potatoes and green been casserole. Yummy! Merry Christmas everyone!

[berta H]

Looking at years past Christmas pictures and all the fond memories

[Diane Elrich]

Merry Christmas Patty . . . Our Christmas tradition is a family Christmas breakfast we get together and watch the children open their presents and have our breakfast before they go to other families to share Christmas day. Enjoy your Christmas Day too!

[Meredith]

Thanks for the chance to win these great stamps. This Christmas I am enjoying making cards with a friend.

[Gayle Gibbons]

Merry Christmas patty, thanks for your inspiration!!

[Adele]

Merry Christmas and thank you for all your great crafting ideas. I hope I win. ;)

[Lynn G.]

Open presents, lounge around and then get the big dinner going. The biggest tradition for me is that I always got to put the Santa or Angel or Star on top of the Christmas tree. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

[April Hannah]

Merry Christmas Patty! My family (extended too) loves to have a get together with friends on Christmas Eve. We each have our favorite finger food and share. It is a cocktail party atmosphere with friends coming and going and the buffet stocked with ham biscuits, shrimp, lots of olives, pepperoni rolls, etc. Also there are a jillion kinds of cookies. We eat and visit and laugh and everyone gets a special surprise handmade gift. This year it is gift tags. My "rubber" (stamping) room is a favorite gathering place and we spend lots of time there during the year. Hope your family has a lovely holiday. xoxo April et al

[Pattie S]

Enjoyed opening gifts with grandkids on Christmas Eve. Now it is a relaxed day with family and friends.

[Susan Shields]

Now that my children are grown, we've added a small white elephant gift exchange to our usual Christmas traditions, with a twist. Each white elephant gift must relate to someone famous and be from that famous person.......ie: a jar of pigs feet from Ms. Piggy! It has been so funny to see the creativity and funny looks on our faces!

[Barbara D Ramsey]

Merry Christmas Patty!

I hope that you day is filled with happy family time! I have my tradition of the Christmas butterfly that I had written you about. She is now perched on the Christmas tree - her destination each year. :<)

Hugs,

Barbara Diane

[Debbie Flattum]

Every year, my husband and I get together with my family to share Christmas dinner. This year, we are going to my folks who live 3 hrs away. Unfortunately, my children are not able to join us as they live on the east coast. Missing them a lot.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Patty!

[Judi Siegers]

Patty, before I tell you my Christmas tradition, I want to thank you for all the wonderful ideas and projects you have posted on your blog. I can' t even imagine the time and effort you put into making your followers enjoy the Stampin' Up experience. Keep up the great posts.

On Christmas morning I put homemade cinnamon rolls in the oven and the smell permeates the house, causing everyone to get up and start the day.

[Cindy Henry]

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Patty !! You have inspired me all year !! Our biggest tradition didn't happen this year ~~ a Christmas tree !! We have two Border Collie puppies and could very clearly see what would happen if we put a tree up. So we are just enjoying our Christmas gifts of 2 sweet, smart and very energetic puppies !!
Happy Holidays

[Tina Crawford]

Merry Christmas. Each year our family gets a new ornament for the tree, something that represents something that happened to them, an interest, or love of the year. Each year when we decorate the tree we spend hours reminiscing about the events in our lives that prompted the ornament!

[Judy Keller]

We get together as a family and enjoy the Swiss kaekli my daughter makes. We always made these with my mother but she has since passed away.

[Pam S.]

Merry Christmas Patty. Having both my sons and their family home for Christmas and all 10 of us sitting at a dinner table made for 6. Thanks for the chance to win blog candy.

[Mary]

Merry Christmas Patty, we always hide the Christmas pickle on our tree and whoever finds it gets to open the first gift. They go crazy with thing.

[De Williamson]

buying a special ornament for my son each year so when he is on his own his first tree won't be bare. And fruitcake and eggnog! merry Christmas patty & family!

[Nanci]

Merry Christmas I am spending it with family and friends. I spent last evening at my church for Christmas eve service to celebrate Jesus's birthday. We had standing room only.

[Katie S]

We have driving around in our Pajama's and looking at all the Christmas lights and decorations. It was so much fun to see how excited our 2 small children loved it!

[Caroline]

Merry Christmas Patty and your family. We always since I was a little girl have Zchristmas crackers at the dinner table and yes we wear the silly hats.

[Cynthia Tuttle]

We play the dice game for "white elephant" prizes every year. It's a ton of fun when someone slips in a couple of highly desired prizes then the stealing and squabbling begins!! It's a real hoot!!

[Donna Coffeen]

Whenever we add a new ornament for the tree, I buy 2 more just like it so when my sons' have families they can have ornaments from their childhood. I love the ornaments Mom saved for me and my siblings and treasure them so much.

[vicki doyle]

Merry Christmas! Our family has many traditions we treasure. One is we host Christmas dinner each year for the neighbors who have no family in town

[Denise Scarborough]

Christmas Blessings Patty. One of the things our children love in their stockings are scratch off tickets. Being too young to purchase them, it is a nice treat for them to scratch off and hope for a winner. Any winning ticket gets cashed in and the money goes to that child.

[Missi]

We started a tradition a few years ago of getting up early and going on a cold, wintery walk along the river with our dogs. It's the perfect way to start Christmas Day! After such a peaceful, beautiful walk, we're ready for the family fun the rest of the day brings!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[Susan from Colorado]

Service is the best part of our family traditions. Making Christmas baskets full of foods to make a dinner and delivering it to families is what makes Christmas meaningful for us. Seeing the gratitude with those we give our baskets too is all we need to feel the spirit of the season. Merry Christmas to you Patty! I feel like I get a gift from you every day thru the wonderful ideas you share thru your blog!

[WendyT]

I missed getting this set. One of our traditions is that after we open stockings and presents we do some lotto scratchers! I won $48 this year which is pretty cool!

[April D]

Merry Christmas, Patty! Okay, I am a lucky ducky who has this but I know a couple of ladies in my monthly stamp group are having remorse for not getting it and it would be an amazing gift.
So, traditions...My mom started buying me a new ornament every year since I was little (always a Hallmark), and we have continued the tradition for my 3 kiddos and I write each year on the box. This year I let the kids pick from the wishbook. My youngest picked the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, middle child picked the Hobbit golum, and oldest picked Merida from Brave. It makes the tree special and the kids love pulling out each ornament and remembering stories about why they picked it.

[Britiney]

Spending time with my kids and family. Merry Christmas, Patty!

[Cathi]

We always attend A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theatre on December 23. Each child also gets a new ornament each year - an angel for my daughter and Santa or snowman for my sons. This year I made the ornaments with Stamping Up! products! Merry Christmas!

[Robin S.]

Tamales on Christmas Eve, staying up late to open presents (& then clean up the mess!), and of course Santa with the kids on Christmas morning. I just love this time of year!

[SusanDR]

Merry Christmas Patty! My kids love egg nog, and years ago I made an egg nog cake that they love. So, I started letting them have egg nog cake for breakfast on Christmas morning. They thought they were getting away with murder, and I had a nice, easy breakfast on a busy day! Now that they are grown and almost grown, they still love egg nog cake on Christmas morning. Thanks for the daily inspiration, and the generous giveaway! Enjoy the holidays!

[Diane R Stevens]

We watch the movie National Lampoon Christmas Vacation on Christmas Eve; then open one present. Christmas morning enjoy our stocking stuffers first, then open presents after having our morning coffee and then sit down to a large breakfast of scrambled eggs, fruit smoothies, English muffins and cinnamon rolls. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2014.

[Sharon maranich]

Our Christmas tradition is to eat my breakfast casserole in the a.m.; then we open our stockings and gifts. Later in the day, we snack on cheese, pepperoni, homemade sausage balls, cookies, etc.!

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Patty.

[Lisa S]

Hi Patty - It would be so great to have this set. We have an ornament exchange party every year. It's so much fun.

[DawnKathleen]

My family gets together and we each bring 5 small gifts for a grab bag. There is one gift that circulates each year. We have fun and laugh about the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks so much for a chance to win your blog candy.
Happy Holidays!

[Laurie]

We open and read a Christmas book every night for ten days as our advent calendar.

[Cindy Faulkner]

New traditions are beginning in our family with grandchildren. Love the fact that even though we don't have Santa visit our house early Christmas morning we are able to go our daughter' home and watch the little ones wake up and find out that Santa was at their house and left lots of things. Being with family is such a blessing.

[Caryn]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Every year my Grandchildren want to watch Annabelle's Wish, a Hallmark movie from 1997.

[Denise Bryant]

I'm soooo disappointed that I didn't get one of these Endless Wishes sets before they sold out! Really a great set! Thanks for the opportunity to win one! Fingers crossed...
My family tradition...I bake several kinds of cookies each year and share them with friends and family!

[Patricia Swagler]

Merry Christmas! A tradition I started since my boys are grown and out on their own is that I buy them a new Christmas coffee mug every year. When my eldest got married I also buy our daughter-in-law a coffee mug also. She loves them so much that she used her last one all year long. I missed getting this set and was sad to find out they weren't getting any more. Thank you for the chance to win one.

[Sue G.]

Merry Christmas Patty!!! And thank you for your constant inspiration!! With three shift workers in our family, our "Christmas" is almost never on Christmas day, this year was no exception, we celebrated on the 22nd with our usual over abundance of food, opening gifts for the children and relaxing with family and friends who drop by to visit!

[shannon]

Merry Christmas Patty! Even though my kids are grown and out of the house we all still sat down to watch A Christmas Story.

[Evan Weightman]

We have a tradition to have brunch after opening presents..... this year we have a new tradition to take a nap after brunch! Merry Christmas!

[Barbara Green]

All my family wishes that those fighting for our country will be at home next year with their families to enjoy Christmas with their families as happily as I have with mine.

[JoAnn Pollock]

We travel a few hours to my husbands home town and meet up with his family in a local hotel to celebrate. Since we don't have any family close by, this means a lot to me.

[Opal]

Merry Christmas to you, Patty, and your family. Now that there is only hubby and me here during the holidays we have started golfing with our CA friend who moved to AZ to be near us. Then we go to their house where their two single daughters have cooked a delicious Christmas dinner for us. Then of course there is the opening of gifts. Have a blessed holiday and healthy New Year. May be I'll be lucky and win this giveaway.

[Lisa Rhine]

Merry Christmas, Patty! My favorite family tradition is having dinner with my family and eating all of our favorites. We allow ourselves to indulge while we catch up on what's been going on in our lives. That's the best part! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

[Shirrise Linn]

Merry Christmas!! We have an annual Gin Rummy card tournament that lasts the better part of all of Christmas Day and often into the next day. There are usually 16+ participants and it's double elimination.

[Abbie Johnson]

Merry Christmas!!! Thank you for sharing! This is one of my favorite sets that I wished I'd bought! My favorite thing at Xmas is watching everyone unwrap their hand stamped wrapping paper and gifts!

[Sheila brown]

Merry Christmas every year I buy Christmas pajamas for the
Whole family to open on Christmas Eve. We
Also go to my mother in laws house all 30 of
Us and we have dinner and then we play dirty Santa. My father in law
Is a Santa every year but we always take time and
Read the story of Christ birth. Merry Christmas.

[Sandi Dailey]

Love reading all of the above family traditions!!! It makes me feel good to know people still carry on the traditions handed down by their parents, grandparents, etc. Our tradition is to get everybody together, along with anybody who doesn't have a family to celebrate the birth of Jesus. This year, we said no presents just get together and enjoy each other and the blessings we have received!! It was a little harder this year because mostly everybody has been out of electric power since Saturday night, so we had early guests because we have a generator!! The very best to you and your family Patty!!

[Donna Kremkau]

I love the stamp set! My brother and his family came to visit me in 1982 and we needed some cling wrap to cover some food....well, we have been passing back and forth a cling warp box they gave me for Christmas in 1983 for 30 years now. We sign the box and put some little goodie in it.

[Kim]

Making our Christmas cookies. We only use the recipes once a year so they are special and fun to make. Of course the kitchen is a mess but it's a fun time together.

[Sandra M.]

This year was a new tradition. I took the grandchildren outside and we shot a bow and arrow. So much fun until we lost the arrows in the woods.

[Marlene A.]

Merry Christmas! Now that my mom has passed on and all my in-laws have familiies of their own we get to spend the day at home. No rushing around, no mad dash to finish wrapping, just hang out at home and I get a NAP. Yes, a nap. Oh, it truly is a magical time of the year :).

[Diana cook]

The weekend before Xmas our family gets together to make tamales for our Xmas dinner

[Liz Stillman]

Merry Christmas to you and your family! Our Christmas tradition starts on Christmas Eve with church. On Christmas day we invite my Aunt and Uncle over for breakfast and french toast casseroles. We also make sure that anyone from church who will be alone has an invitation to come be with us for the day if they want to.

[mary travis]

Staying in our pajamas all day long!

[Patty Mukosey]

Merry Christmas Patty!

Ever since I was small, my family would go to the same church that my Grandma (b. 1894) was baptised in for the Christmas Service. Today, the tradition is still carried on and this year was extra special for me. My first grandchild was born this past summer and became the fifth generation to celebrate spending Christmas Eve, (my birthday) in the same church with the family.

Patty

[Lisa B.]

We opened presents early in the morning and then went to grandma's house for a big family Christmas.

[Julie F.]

Christmas morning breakfast at my BILs-adults only-I make monkey bread, BIL grills sausage (6 degrees F outside) and my SIL makes eggs. Its always the nicest time of the day for me.

[Cheryl]

Merry Christmas Patty, My tradition will start next year as we all could not be together this year. Each person will have a number near there place at the table,we will sing The Twelve days of Christmas and everyone will have to sing there part of the song.

[Sharon]

My brother, nieces and nephew come to grandma & granddad's house. Then we exchange gifts. Of course, there is always a turkey baking in the oven :)

[Laurie Reaume]

Merry Christmas Patti!! One tradition that my family does is watch the Disney Christmas Parade while we eat breakfast after opening presents.

[Becky]

Merry Christmas Patty Boyfriend and I enjoy a quiet day being with each other
Hugs

[Donna Kopenski]

Patty...I really look forward to your posts. I learn something from each one. Thank you for sharing your awesome ideas!

[Kay Jantz]

Spending the evening thankful to be blessed my son surprised me this morning being here from CO with his precious 11 year old son to surprise me. My sweet husband and one of my daughters were in on it. Having family around is a big part of the holidays. I was feeling really down to not have my son and oldest daughter with their sons here. He lives the closest of the two but it still is an 8hrs drive. A wonderful surprise and a blessed holiday. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[Marian Biegel]

We played a fun game for the first time. All of us adult ladies gathered around in a circle. We were each given a bag with a gift inside. Twas the night before Christmas was read and left and right was added. Each time it was said we passed the bag to the person on our right or left. It was so much fun! After all was finished we got to keep our bag. Inside was some sort of purse or tote bag from Vera Bradley. Such a great idea and we laughed a lot. This is a start of a new tradition.
Marian Biegel

[Edna Glenn]

Merry Christmas, Patty. My daughter drives me around each year to look at Christmas Decorations. We have so much fun seeing all the beautiful lights. And it gives us some time to be together, just the 2 of us. Thanks for your generosity hosting this Blog Give Away.

[Dorene Donaldson]

The season starts early for our friends and family with a progressive dinner. We have been doing this for 27 years now. It is a wonderful way to make time for each other, catch up with everyone in our extended family, and makes me get ready by the second Sat. Of December every year. We keep a journal and everyone writes a line or two about the past year and so much fun to review previous entries.
Thanks for all you do. May you have a blessed New Year.

[Jane Hunt]

Patty, nativity sets are our decorations all year long, but every Christmas we get up to look for the baby Jesus to place back in the manger that has been hidden somewhere in the house the night before. We do this before the gifts are opened to remind us the reason for giving. The kids really enjoy it.
Jane

[Kathy]

Ah....Christmas. Family time is so very important to me at Christmas....not the big things but just the simple things like having homemade cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning.....or enjoying quiet moments with each of my children.

[Pamela]

My 3 granddaughters help me make cards and get them ready to mail. Then we take the Grapeline bus to view lights. And of course, I have Christmas music on for the whole season. Blessed Christmas to everyone - especially those serving in the military and their families waiting at home.

[Debbie Michael]

We have Christmas eve dinner at my house with my grown children and grandchildren. Then my husband and i get up early and go to my daughter's for breakfast and to see what Santa brought.

[Darlys Willer]

I do up all my laundry on Dec. 24th and then don't do any for a week, so not until after Jan 1st. I do this in honor of my grandmother who said it was bad luck to do laundry between Christmas and New Years. I suspect this was her way to get a break for a week or so from that drudgery of a chore.

[Julie Rae]

Our family generally spends Christmas Day in their new jammies everyone receives on Christmas Eve--big surprise! We play old-fashioned board games, cards, and eat finger foods on and off throughout the day. Totally just us enjoying each other's company!

[Faith Gaspar]

Merry Christmas Patty... How Kind of you to offer the Stamp Set.... I would LOVE to win it. We have been enjoying each other and watching FUN movies all day today... Thank You for a Chance to Win....

Faith

[Dayle]

Something we always do is to let our two grandchildren help scratch off the lottery tickets that Santa always leaves in Memaw and Papa's stockings and we give them half of any money that we win! Thanks for the opportunity to win this great stamp set that I wanted so bad but didn't get because they ran out. Merry Christmas to you Patty!

[Sandra Stubbs]

So many, Christmas Eve dinner, with green bean casserole and brussel sprouts. In Utah with 6 grandchildren. Early morning unwrapped Santa gifts for children, then off to breakfast at Ihops. Return home to read the Christmas story and give thanks, then children open gifts. When they are done, the adults open their gifts, while children have fun. Always a silly string fight out in the street and the children on their small sleds, sliding down the front yard slope. Watching a new movie, always a gift at Christmas, at which I usually fall asleep. Playing with the children's new toys with them. Taking flowers to deceased family members and taking a picture with the elf on the shelf ornament, then bringing him home for next year, 2 years of that tradition now. Early night and sleep in tomorrow. Such fun!

[bette s]

Merry Christmas! Actually, we will celebrate Christmas with our son, his wife and 3 sons Saturday. After dinner we play cards and eat snacks and just have a great time. Today (Christmas), I am enjoying the time to really think about how blessed my husband and I these past fifty years. We celebrated our 50th last Friday and cannot still believe it has actually been that long. Just seems like yesterday that we tied the knot!

[Marilyn Stiles]

We love to watch A Christmas Carol and Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas. It doesn't matter how old you are, you have to love it! We always go to church on Christmas Eve.

[Jody Lee]

Every year my father would read the Christmas story from the Bible and then The Night Before Christmas. 4 Generations have enjoyed this tradition. My father passed away 12/17/13 unexpectedly. With heavy hearts and tears in our eyes we carried on this tradition in honor of my father. Thank you for the chance to honor my father in this small way.

[Gay Ferland]

Merry Christmas to you and family!!! Patty, again, awesome Christmas card
creation !! When my brothers and sisters were all living in NH, we would gather around and do a Christmas dinnner and end the the evening with a yankee swap!!!

I hope to win this awesome prize!!!! I went to purchase this set and it sold out!!!!
Thanks Patty!!!
Gay

[Daune Cotter]

Hi Patty! Merry Christmas to you and your family. This year we received an elf on the shelf and my 4 year old Brody named him Elfie. Elfie is a helper elf, not a mischievous one - he put together our Christmas train under the tree, he packed lunch for Brody and his sister, Brody asked him to decorate the top half of the tree and also to water the plants. We look forward to Elfie's return next year!

[Gaile Merritt Murrell]

Our family tradition for the past 3 years has been to postpone Christmas until January. (My whole household, except me, seems to get sick every year without fail during this time)!
It appears the best way not to disappoint anyone, and we get to celebrate even longer!
Merry Christmas to you & yours Patty ! 🎄

[Stephanie]

Thanks Patty for all you do! One thing I'm noticing becoming a tradition is checking out any new penguins you might have added year to year!! But family wise...just enjoying time with my folks and feeling blessed to spend another Christmas together. ..dad and I enjoyed an eggnog while we went through "tablet training" tonight....he'll enjoy his first day on the Internet tomorrow. .. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[Cathy D]

Merry Christmas to you Patty.
We like to make popcorn balls every year and this year we couldn't find the time to make them, it was sad, but made a deal that next year we make time no matter what.
Thank you for a chance to win this stamp set, I didn't get to buy it before it was gone. Hope I will be lucky and win it.

[Wendy Carr]

Merry Christmas Patty!
Our Christmas tradition for the past 35 years has been to gather at my sisters house to celebrate the birthday of her beautiful daughter. Tonight we did it again. The group gets bigger every year! I never get tired of getting together with family ❤

[Elisha]

We have continued a tradition started by our home's previous homeowners - lining both sides of our half-circle driveway with luminaries (about 150 of them) made with white paper bags. It's a team effort and looks so beautiful late into the night. Thanks for the chance to win!

[Debbie ware]

My mom, sisters and I exchange "favorite things" Christmas stockings on Christmas morning. It's once of the most anticipated exchanges. Thanks for the opportunity to get this set that I missed.

[Lorna F]

I try to make something homemade every year. This year - sugar scrubs and some peanut butter party chex. Both were a hit!

[Kathleen]

Our grandchildren sit beside Pappy as he reads the Christmas story. Our 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old grandsons were with us this year and an age-appropriate board book was read. They were pointing out Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the star and Baby Jesus on the pages. As soon as Pappy read the last page the boys were off his lap and ready to open presents. Such a precious tradition to start the day off focusing on the real meaning of Christmas.
Have a wonderful Christmas and blessed New Year, Patty and family.

[Linda Darnold]

Every year the girls in the family get together to make Christmas Sugar Cookies - this year we included the great grand kids - there were 10 of us - took as long to clean up as it did to bake and decorate- worth every minute

want to thank you for all you inspirations - I too missed this
stamp set and have regretted it - thanks for opportunity to win

[Tina Olney]

Happy Holidays! My oldest daughter who is now 25 is the offical waker upper on Christmas morning at our house. She got married in October and her and her hubby came and spent the night on Christmas eve with us and on Christmas morning she says to me, "don't worry, I got everyone up". Too funny!

[Karen]

Happy Holidays! Our Christmas tradition is to take a ride on December 26th and look at all the lights and decorations, We would try to do this before Christmas but everyone is too busy. Watching It's a wonderful Life is also a Christmas tradition.

[Susan Aten]

Merry Christmas Patty! We carry on a tradition started by my Mother-in-law. She burned bayberry candles - one for each one in the house. The bayberry candles are lit on Christmas Eve and burn through Christmas. We also do this on New Year's Eve. The little rhyme that goes along with the bayberry tradition goes like this........... "A bayberry candle burned to the socket, brings health to the home and money to the pocket." Although the burning of the bayberry candles have no real power, they do remind us of Mammy and the many blessings we have received from God! And, they make our house smell festive, too! Thank you for your post and sharing the great papercrafting ideas from you and your team! Many blessings to you in the coming year!
