ReplyDeleteA special memory for me is my mom making her dressing on Christmas Eve....we always sampled it when it was done. Even on my mom's last Christmas, when she had alzheimers, she made her dressing....I snapped a photo of her cutting up the ingredients for it, and I framed that photo...each year at Christmas, we bring it out. I carry on the tradition now...for my kids, who love their nan's dressing......
Take care..
Happy New Year!

Kathy you are giving away some lovely charts .
ReplyDeleteCount me in again . Thank you.
I like the pattern of the pincushion. My favorite memory of Christmas is that we played board games all day with the hole family. My mom enjoyed this time so much and since she passed away 10 years ago, we all miss her, especially with Christmas when we play the boardgames.
ReplyDeleteA lovely giveaway prize - thank you for the opportunity to win it. My special memory is the threepences and sixpences that my mother would bake into the christmas pudding each year. After Australia went to decimal money in 1966, she would carefully hoard those silver coins to use in the pudding as the new money was an alloy that was poisonous if baked.
ReplyDeleteI will post about your giveaway on the sidebar of my blog as well.
Hugs, Kaye xoxox
One of my fondest Christmas memories was the time my dad got me a bicycle for Christmas and couldn't wait until morning when I woke up to see it. So he got me out of bed sometime after midnight and sat me on the bike. My reaction wasn't what he expected because I was so sleepy, only about 7 or 8 years old. So he put me back to bed and when I got up the next morning I didn't even remember what had happened earlier. I was just so excited, which made him very happy.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win!
I would love to be entered in this draw. Love the design. Told you about our Christmas traditions earlier so The tradition for New Years is Chinese food for New Years Eve.
ReplyDeleteMy brother - sisters & I had soooo much fun trying to find the presents - lol - My mother was a master at hiding them - hee hee
ReplyDeleteWe truly enjoyed cozy Christmas days (warm fire, christmas songs, home cooking - lots of people in our home ....) Great memories !!!!
Beautiful pattern - Very thoughtful giveaway ;)
What a gorgeous giveaway! One old tradition was finding sixpence in the Christmas pudding. They were so exciting to find and one had to make sure we didn't swallow them.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed the Holidays when my children were small and believed in Santa! Those are the best memories :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful giveaway!

What a fun idea for a giveaway Kathy and I'd love to be entered for this one. One of our family traditions was always a little bit before Christmas, when the Christmas puddings were being made and we all had to stir the pudding mixture and make a wish!
ReplyDeletemy mother and father in law, have always given my 3 children a bag with apple,orange, gold chocolate coins and a penny in it, although they are teenagers now they still love their little goody bags
ReplyDeleteAs for my family tradition we have always bought the kids new Pyjamas that they wear on christmas eve, they hang there stocking up and off to bed they go, my 14yr girl still wanted her new pj's this year
My parents always come to our house for christmas dinner, my husband cooks a wonderful meal and we sit down listening to christmas music, and play a board game with the kids
