"Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. I wait with anticipation all year long for the smell of fresh cut Christmas trees, delicious homemade cookies and all of the special events and parties that come with celebrating the season. My favorite Christmas tradition of course is spending Christmas morning with my family. I look forward to waking up and going over to my mom's in our Christmas pajamas for delicious cinnamon rolls and mimosas while opening our Christmas stockings from Santa. This is how we've celebrated Christmas morning ever since I can remember and I can't wait to share this tradition with my own family."
Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A great holiday project!
The Slice is a GREAT tool to use when trimming your tree. These ornaments are easy to make and very affordable. We used Making Memories' holiday paper and Slice Fa La La Design Card.
To create these ornaments for your own tree, follow these simple instructions:
1. Choose a design from the Fa La La design card.
2.Cut your design three times (same size and same shape).
TIP: Cut the designs from multiple pieces of patterned paper
3. Lightly fold the shape in half.
4. Glue two shapes together (glue from the outside only until the fold) to make ornament.
5. Apply adhesive to the third shape and apply to the ornament.
6. Use a jump ring or wire to create loop to hang ornament.
7. Embellish with ribbon.

"Our family has many holiday traditions and they're definitely what makes Christmas so special for me and my family. One of our favorite traditions is listening to an old-time radio show called, The Cinnamon Bear, beginning November 29th and then every night leading up to Christmas. I've been listening to the radio show ever since I was a young girl and our children now enjoy it as much as I always have. I love that we can all snuggle up together and just listen to the classic stories. The pictures are all in our own imaginations. The nightly stories can be found online and can be listened to for free. Here is the link: http://www.radiolovers.com/pages/cinnamonbear.htm I hope you enjoy them as much as our family does."
