24 merry days giveaway: $50 to wit & whistle
Dear friends, today is an exciting day! It’s the grand finale of Christmas giveaways here at CLC but only the 19th of the 24 Merry Days giveaways! It’s also my birthday and I’m so excited to be able to give a gift to you - a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to Wit & Whistle!
I’ve been a huge fan of Amanda’s style for a while so I’m even more excited for the chance to share her shop with you. There is a lot of talent floating around on the web but the humor added to her work really makes it awesome.
In an attempt to get to know the girl behind the cards, I asked Amanda what her favorite part of Christmas was. How awesome is her answer!?
“My favorite part of Christmas is taking time to read Luke Chapter 2, the story of Jesus’ birth, and remember the real reason we’re celebrating!”

My favorite part of Christmas is seeing the effects of Christmas. Lights go on bushes, presents get put under trees, malls erect their Santa stations, Christmas carols are blasted from car radios, and all those pinned candy recipes are finally put to use, but what I really love is how everybody takes the time, even if it is just a moment spared to buy their teacher a popcorn tin or their secretary a desk calendar, to think of every single person they love and appreciate. It’s even more amazing to see how some take that good feeling and apply it to something like the United Way or their church because they feel the need to share the joy. That to me is the Christmas spirit in action. Thank you for doing this, and Happy Holidays!
My favorite part of Christmas are family traditions and cold weather!

My favorite part of Christmas is getting to see relatives that I only get to see on the holidays or special events. I also really love the Christmas candies and cookies! And having a live tree in our living room.
my favorite part of Christmas is hiding the tree in the midst of the tropical house plants (which are usually taller)-then when we turn on the lights for christmas eve, it’s like a surprise hit of forest in the jungle
I love all the pretty lights everywhere and finding the perfect gift to give!
My favorite part of Christmas is decorating the house and making it feel warm and cozy. :)
Yay! I love Wit and Whistle. I think my favorite part of Christmas is getting to see almost everyone. My family traditionally does multiple Christmases in the days surrounding the 25th- family Christmas, extended family Christmas, friend Christmas- and it’s always so wonderfully cheery
my favorite part of Christmas…
snow and cinnamon
My favorite part of Christmas is the time I get to spend with my family.
My favorite part is seeing how much everyone cares about each other through the thought they put into presents. I also love seeing the excitement on children’s faces.
My favorite Christmas memory are the 1930′s transport trains by Dad sets up under our Christmas tree. They have been past down 3 generations in the Jenkins family and it brings joy to my heart each Christmas. And on a side note: my hubby proposed on Dec 23rd, 2 years ago and that is my other fav Christmas memory. Joyfully-SR
Walks, and more walks, with the dogs.

My favourite part of Christmas is the build up throughout Advent as Christmas and summer (I’m in Australia) get closer. I love all the community events, I love the feasts with family, I love outdoor carols festivals, I love putting up decorations and I love that everywhere I go there is music and imagery reminding me of that awesome moment when God sent Jesus to do his work here.
Also, your blog is awesome! I am following you on twitter (@colouredsquares) and I’m adding you to my rss feed too :)
Celebrating with my mother and my guinea pigs, talking all night and listening to carols.
It’s the whole process of preparing for Christmas that is so satisfying and fulfilling; from putting up lights and various decorations to thinking about gifts, both bought and made, for friends. The list has diminished over the years, but the joy and anticipation of the giving has not. As I’ve approached the twilight years, it is the appreciation of the simple aspects of the Season that is the most satisfying.

My favorite part of Christmas is having a couple of lazy days with my family. Getting is all together under one roof is rare so I love getting to have breakfast with everyone in my PJs like we used to when I was young.
My favorite part of Christmas is having breakfast with the family after all the presents are opened. It’s peaceful, and the family hasn’t been together long enough to start sniping at each other yet :)
christmas brunch with the girls
The simple pleasure of having all of my family gathered together enjoying one another’s company is my favourite part. Just to have the house overflowing with love and laughter is so special!
My favorite part of Christmas is how it changes the way people think and act for a whole month of the year – everyone seems to be kinder, more generous and more thoughtful in the month of December.
I adore going with my darling husband and children to choose our freshly cut Christmas tree – the smell of pine needles and the festive atmosphere is intoxicating!
My wife’s famous pavlova with roasted rhubarb and strawberries = DIVINE!!!
Seeing the children’s eyes light up and their excitement fizzing over is my favourite part.
My favorite part is watching my daughter. She’s six this year, and totally, completely, wholeheartedly believes in Santa, elves and anything even remotely magical. OK, that, and bourbon slushes. YUM.
My favorite is definitely the music! It’s so festive and happy!

I love Christmas because of the cheer and warmth it brings to homes and families even in the cold of winter and even during times of trouble; the reorientation of life around the things that matter: family, friends, and His love. (Not to mention the food. I do love me some good food too. ;) )
My favorite part of Christmas is all the family time! I love spending time with my closest relatives, and every year I get older I cherish these moments more and more!

Ah, and basically Christmas is my favorite. My favorite “part” of Christmas is the giving, the investing in others, the Christmas parties in homes, the lights…..I feel as though it is all a reflection of how Christ has invested in us, sent His Son to be a light to the world, to save us. He has called us to be a light to the world, to serve others, to join together, to worship Him. And yet, Jesus daily serves us. It’s all a beautiful image. Love it.
my favorite part is celebrating DDs bday

My favorite part of Christmas is giving gifts. I love it!
My favorite part of Christmas is the music, primarily the old traditional sounds – I’m a musician and have spent every Christmas that I can remember singing in choirs for lessons and carols, candlelight caroling, midnight services, and more. The light and warmth of the music sung in such beautiful spaces while outside the snow falls and the nights come early is such a wonderful thing to me.

My favorite part of Christmas is the memories my family made: Santa Claus always left a trail of ashy footprints going from the fireplace to the tree; my brother and I always got up during the middle of the night to see what Santa left out for us and put in our stockings; and we always had a birthday cake for Jesus!

My favorite part of Christmas is all the baking and cooking I get to do. Oh, and giving presents.
My favorite part of Christmas is watching kids experience all the excitement.
I love all the time i get to spend with family
My favorite part of Christmas is taking time to remember the great love that prompted Christ to leave the splendor of heaven for a scratchy manger bed… overwhelming and amazing!
my favorite part is spending time with family. we are not religious at all, but it’s nice to be together:)
Hm, my favorite part must be, the whole days until Christmas.. Listening to Christmas songs, sitting by the christmas tree and watching Christmas movies..!

One of my favorites part of Christmas (oh so many they are) is watching You’ve Got Mail while making felt decorations with my dude (oh yeah, he does that)
Family, soy eggnog and dog running time.
My favorite part is all the festive decorations!

my favorite part of chirstmas is waking up on christmas morning with my husband and singing carols together before exchanging gifts.
My favorite part of Christmas is the get together with my family. I cherish each moment we spent together. Love the smell of homemade food and the snowflakes outside. Wish a very happy and lovely Christmas!
The lights. There are so many many magical, amazing things about christmas – but I must say, it wouldn’t be christmas without the string lights lit up everywhere you go.
My favorite part of Christmas will be the long waited birth of my little one <3

I’m sort of a Scrooge, but I like getting to spend time with family that I don’t often see.
My favourite part of Christmas is celebrating the greatest gift that has ever been given – Jesus Christ! I also love the fellowship that this season brings!
My fave part of Chrismtas is the tree and decorating!
My favorite part about Christmas has to be the lights! I just live all the hope in those little twinkles when it’s so dark and cold outside.

Christmas Eve midnight services are my favorite part of Christmas. Then driving around and looking at lights. Love the quite moments with my family.
Happy belated birthday!! I hope it was marvelous. I agree~ Amanda’s answer is the best! I am so excited about this giveaway. Wit & Whistle has such gorgeous paper goods! So, my favorite part of Christmas…. I’m not sure. I think it is the atmosphere I impute to it. Every year, I say, Oh, this will be the perfect Christmas. Then I get caught in the rush and miss it, but I never stop thinking it will come. The expectation, I guess? Also, every year we have a Regency ball, which is the most wonderful thing imaginable.
My favorite part is opening the presents…we decided to break tradition and we are doing it tonight!
I follow Amanda on twitter, thank you for the giveaway!
My favorite part of Christmas is reading The Night Before Christmas aloud with my family on Christmas Eve in front of the fireplace! So cozy.
My favorite part of Christmas is the food, decorations, relaxation and time with family!

Christmas Eve is definitely my favorite part of the Christmas season. Having my family nestled around the fire place with the smell of the christmas tree lingering in the air. All the kids are antsy with anticipation of the coming morning and leave cookies and eggnog out for santa (plus carrots and celery out for the reindeer). My father reads the the story of Jesus birth and The Night Before Christmas, then all the kids scurry off to bed. When the kids were younger he used to get bells and shake them below the kids windows (one night he even got on the roof!!)
Wit & Whistle?! Yes, Please!
Couldn’t agree with Amanda’s comment more. Our favorite part of Christmas is sitting in our charming little church for midnight Christmas Eve service. The most special 30 minutes of the whole year.

My favorite time on Christmas Eve is late at night once the kids have finally fallen asleep, and i bring out Santa’s gifts and set them all up around the tree! I love anticipating how excited they will be in the morning!

My favorite part of Christmas is when our entire family gathers on Christmas night for filet mignon and other delicious food. It’s simple, yet fancy. We’re all so happy to be together after a year of being apart.
My favorite part of Christmas is hanging out with friends and family!
I love getting to see my family, which is about once a year right now on Christmas. I also love my mom’s Christmas dinner!

My favorite part of Christmas is getting to spend time with family!!
My favorite part of Christmas is getting to see my entire extended family. We live pretty far apart and live crazy busy lives so I love the fact that everyone makes the effort to get together and catch up with everyone. It’s so good to see them all!
my favorite part of Christmas is the church service on Christmas eve!
Nothing like thea cold winters day during this time! That’s my fave, and to top it off with a mug of hot chocolate and blanket to keep you all warma nd cozy <3
It was always the one time every year that my family would get together and the day would just be filled with love and happiness. Nothing is more important than that to me.
My favorite part of Christmas is the cookie baking. I love to make traditional cookies and also to try something new!
Favorite part of Christmas is going to church and celebrating Jesus birthday!

I’ve been following Amanda for quite awhile. Love her stuff (and her).
The best part of Christmas: Having everybody home, laughing!
The part of Christmas I love the most is the ability of forgetting about any trouble and remember how to smile to life.. And smiling to life is what let me rediscover friends and parents and how much I love them!
Followed Amanda!! =)
My favoirte part of Christmas is the love in the air; the joy of being with friends and loved ones and to just enjoy this very moment.
My favorite part is seeing families come together, not just mine.
Baking is the best part!
My favorite things about Christmas are the lights everywhere (I love sparkly things!), the cookies (oh the cookies), and the traditions (lights AND cookies).
There’s something about the way my family used to celebrate Christmas Eve that made it my favorite day of the entire year (more so even than opening the gifts the next morning). We’d leave the tree lights off all December and do a tree-lighting “ceremony”, one string at a time, to selections from the New Testament showing how the light of God spreads around the world. It was incredibly special and meaningful and I miss it now that I live on my own!
I love christmas day… hot chocolate, family time and my moms french toast bake! always makes for a cozy day :)
Lovely! My favourite part is Christmas is that we even have Christmas to celebrate – Jesus’ birth! It’s a super bonus that everything feels lovely at Christmas time and I have a wonderful family to celebrate with.
My favorite part of Christmas are the snow and the lights! I hope this year I get the snow!
My favorite part of christmas is the anticipation!! And the christmas lights, and getting to see all of my family :)

Ack. *Husband’s* I blame a dysfunctional autocorrect and lack of coffee for that one.
