So because I love all of you, and your sweet comments and emails, I picked one of these up last month at Kohl’s big sale (no offense, I got a good deal!) for this giveaway! I was going to do something daring and get the cool lime green but I chickened out and just got white. But hey, that will match anyones kitchen right?!

We stay home and let the kids open their Christmas gifts at home, then later on Christmas day we drive 3 1/2 hours to my inlaws house to open gifts there. Then, later that night or sometimes the next day we head further up north to visit my other set of inlaws (my husband parents are divorced). Every year before Christmas my mother comes out and then at the beginning of January my dad comes out. With us being military and being away from family the holidays usually last for weeks with all the families. Christmas day can be very tiring with all the driving, but the kids enjoy getting to see all the family. 🙂
Christmas will be delayed since Darling Husband is a pilot…but when he gets back, we will be keeping it minimal. We recently purchased our first home and started hanging with Dave Ramsey. We are spreading cheer through giving of things other than monetarily.(Sidenote – did you draw that sketch? It is divine – do you work on commission pieces?)

This is going to be a tough Christmas as I just lost my sister two months ago to a drunk driver. We are trying to make it a tradition to stay home for Christmas since we have to travel so much for all of the other holidays and I want my little one to be able to wake up in her bed every year for Santa. Hopefully my mom will be able to make it down so that she won't be alone.joeandoak@gmail.com
It looks like we might be moving very close to Christmas this year. Since I am 6 months pregnant I told the kids we'd probably skip the tree because of all the moving etc. So, we will have a simple Christmas at home remembering the real reason we celebrate this holiday, Christ's birth and then make the rounds to family here in town.
This is amazing!! Our plans this year are to celebrate with family – both my parents and my husbands parents will be flying in to spend the holidays with us!
Wow! What an awesome giveaway–I couldn't resist! We'll be home from Christmas Eve (I insist upon that) and then likely off to my in-laws in the Hill Country on Christmas day.
Since our mom passed away in June we are all wanting to make Christmas special for our father. We are all going to Dallas to spend it at one of our sisters homes. We are each making 1 homemade item to give in the White Elephant swap, I look so forward to this day
My goodness, what DON'T we do… We start the night of the 23rd with all 12 of us (grandparents, brothers, sisters, and kids) decorating our own gingerbread village. Wake up the morning of the 24 to home made sticky buns and the 12 of us open presents. With such a large extended family we start early to be able to get everyone in. Christmas day goes in 2 hour increments like this: mother-in-law then father-in-law then father-in-law #2 then great-grandparents house. We finally get home about 10pm completely exhausted, but the kids have a great day and thats all that counts!
I am so excited for Christmas this year as it will be our baby's first! We will spend Christmas eve with my inlaws and Christmas day with my family. Right now I am working to finish up Elleanor's stocking! YEAH!! Christmas is coming!!
This is the greatest giveaway!! I was making cookies this weekend (with my terrible handheld mixer) and dreaming of a mixer like this one!For Christmas, we wake up early and enjoy watching the kids open their gifts. Around mid morning, we head to my in-laws house for more festivities. Later on that day, we visit my parents and grandparents. We drive a lot on Christmas day, but it is awesome to have that much family to share the holiday with.Tiffany, thanks for all that you do. You are the greatest!!I follow you too!rhondahighfill@yahoo.com
My aunts and cousins are flying from Colombia so our Chrismas will be in my house with ALL our family!!! Yeeii….
We have somewhat of Four Christmases every year! Funny but true…we always stay home on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning but then we travel to the country to my family's house and then back down for my dad's and my husband's family…it is a neverending week of presents for the kids so its kind of fun. We also love to go to the Christmas play at our church…what a Wonderful time of year and a wonderful reason to celebrate! Merry Christmas!!
Hopefully we will be heading to my hometown to spend Christmas with my family. My sister and her family will be here from Texas. But I'll be 36 weeks pregnant so there's a good chance we'll be confined to our house waiting for our little girl to arrive!
This will be our first Christmas as a family. I am so excited my daughter will be 6 months old and my husband was not deployed so we get to spend it together. We are trying to follow all the family traditions and make some new ones of our own! Merry Christmas everyone.
This year my husband and I will be spending Christmas with my family. I have aunts, uncles, and cousins coming in from all over the US!! I cannot wait to see everyone!I also subscribed and put this on facebook! :)Jenni

Hi! We're spending Christmas at home since we have a bunch of kids! It's Always a Fun Time! Please sign me up for the Great Giveaway. Thanks!
My family and I are traveling to Atchison, Kansas one day and then to Kansas City the next. Please include me in the drawing for the mixer… I try to watch my ads around town… but never a great deal for my family to buy a mixer. Thank you and Happy Holidays.-Rebecca
Wow…I couldn't resist this, entering my first giveaway! Good luck to all and as for Christmas, its about the magic of Santa and some quality time with our little family of four.
We are having 3 Christmases. One at the in-laws and one at my parent's the week before. Then on Christmas day, the grandparents come to our house so the kids can be home to play with presents all day. We make lots of finger foods and snacks. It's so much nicer than hauling kids around to everyone's house on Christmas day. We love it and so do the kids!
I follow your blog too!
This is so great! I've been told by numerous family members I have to get one, but they're so pricey!Our plans are to be very busy! We get together with my husband's family on Christmas Eve for a cookie bake off to see who has the best cookies and then we have dinner. Christmas we'll be at my parent's house early in the morning to open presents then naptime for my toddler. After that, Lunch with my husband's family. Busy busy!!!
We moved to Charleston,SC this past march to start a church and this is the last year we will actually be able to go away anywhere for a long period of time (my husband is a pastor and he has to be here every sunday starting in january). I'm so excited that we get to go home to see my family in Ohio for Christmas and we get to stay for 8 days!! My kids are very excited to play with their cousins!! It will be such a special time! Hope your Christmas is wonderful!
just left a comment above and i just became a fan on facebook:)
We have Christmas on Christmas eve with our 3 kids here at home as I am a nurse and will work on Christmas Day. We will then have a simple Christmas dinner that night after I work with my mother. I also subscribed!
We keep things very low key. Thanksgiving is for extended family and Christmas is just for the four of us ( my husband, son, daughter, & myself). We open presents in our PJs, eat a breakfast casserole, and play with new toys together. Then depending on our mood we will go out to the movies or watch movies at home. I don't cook, we just order a ham. It is my absolute most favorite day of the year.
We have a huge stuff yourself silly breakfast at my mother-in-laws. complete with Boudan(sp?) the only time of the year we ever buy it. Then we open presents and visit.
I am mentioning this on facebook!!

Oh how awesome! We are planning a wonderful lazy holiday with just our little family this year. Lots of baking , movies, jammie days, good ole family time!
This is a great giveaway!! We will be spending Christmas Eve with my family and then going to church for the kids program. On Christmas day we will open gifts and then go to my husband's side of the family.
Wow…my mom purchased a kitchen aid mixer this morning…I was wanting it to be mine!! I would love, love, love it! I am also going to follow you on facebook.My holiday plans are to spend with my parents and son who is in the Navy stationed in the DC area…also my youngest has joined the Navy and is leaving in February so this will be a very special holiday for us! Thanks for all you do! Amy
I will spend Christmas with my husband and kids. Then on the weekend we will probably be moving because our church is deciding on my husband to step up from the youth pastor roll to the head pastor of the church. And then the kids and I will go to my mom's and have Christmas with her. BUSY BUSYKerrie

On Christmas Day after my daughter destroys the living room and there is no place to walk, I will have my older children, my Mom and my sister over for a great meal and good laughs, on Christmas Eve me and my 6yr old will spend it w/ my BFF of 30 years and her family, I am a stroke survivor so each Christmas is a blessing just to be around to spend one more w/ the ones I love!
Live here in Houston too and love your blog! Just subscribed too!This year, my husband and I will be driving the 10 hours to visit with our parents back in Alabama. Hoping to celebrate next year here at home with family, a new baby, and lots of cookies made with a fabulous mixer!
We will be at home with maybe my mom coming to visit. I was hired as a seasonal position at a retail store so I will probably have to work the day after Christmas. It will be good to just be home and not have to travel. I would love to have this great mixer!
Two of my sisters-in-law will be visiting. We'll have a nice, quiet morning at home with the kids, then probably join the in-laws at their house for a big lunch and presents. snbjork@yahoo.com

Lots of candy making and baking!! I've been into homemade breads lately, and would use the heck out of that mixer! 🙂 My parents live in town, and we'll be doing lots of holiday activities with them throughout the month, and then having a big family dinner on Christmas day. Can't wait!
My husband is working in Mexico right now, so we will be staying with my mom for the holidays and the kids are going to church camp.
OMG….I love this. Well our holiday plans are spending time with the family in LaGrange, Ga. then heading to Woodstock, Ga. all on Christmas Eve. Then the four of us are heading home to wait for santa to come for the kids. Which is going to be great because my son will be 4 in January so he is really understanding christmas this year and then his sister is having her first christmas so I am excited. Thanks so much for all that you do.
Wow! What a great give-away!! We have some fun holiday plans this year! My sister and her new husband are coming in from Seattle to spend Christmas at my parents home. My twins are 18 months this year and they should be a lot of fun and into the whole mess of things! It promises to be a crazy and fun time!!
That is an awesome give away!!!! We don't really have incerdible plans this Christmas. We are going to try to do activities with our little family everyday and we are going to enjoy Christmas day all to ourselves.I follow you and love it!
Oh boy! What a great giveaway! Our plans for Christmas this year follows my family traditions. Of course plenty of shopping before hand that all leads up to our big annual family Christmas party! It's one of my favorite things about the holiday as we get to spend time with family members that we might not see much throughout the year. Theres a wonderful Portuguese dinner for everyone made by my great grandmother and wonderful catching up by everyone. After the party we head to Midnight Mass at our local Church.Then for Christmas day we head over to my Mom's house were a small group of family meets every year for gifts in the morning and dinner in the afternoon. Then is the traditional Christmas board game battle! So much fun! This usually goes into the evening with dessert served around the game board. So that's our holiday! It might be simple to some people but it's our yearly tradition and I enjoy it so very much. Thanks for letting me share and enter the giveaway!Please forgive the double entry, I accidently submitted it as annoyomous! Sorry!

We are headed out west to spend Christmas with my family for the first time in years. I can't wait! I love a 75 degree Christmas!
Hi ! Wow, what a fantastic giveaway! We are staying home for Christmas…for several reasons..first, I love my kids to wake up in their own home Christmas morning (because I always did growing up) and secondly, Christmas Day is my birthday ! Really ! So, if you pick me, the mixer will be a Christmas AND birthday present ! Also, something I thought you might like: I have challenged my husband to a $25 Christmas for each other…we'll see !!
We go to my inlaws on Christmas eve. Christmas morning my three daughters and their families come to our house to open gifts. We have a Christmas buffet that last all day LOL.We have so much fun spending the day with each other. Around five o'clock we all head down to my dad's house(my mom passed away when I was ten). He loves having us all there. There are six girls and one boy all of their spouses and about thirty grandchildren and twenty great grandchildren. I love Christmas and the special feelings that comes with it. I wish all of you joy and peace in your family's this Christmas season….
Oh my WORD! That is so awesome! Our holiday plans are minimal this year – just the six of us for most of it, Christmas Eve with my parents. Neither of my brothers can afford to travel this year :(, but we're living on the memories of our family reunion on the coast this summer and our 9 snowed-in-days last Christmas.
My mom is flying in to spend Christmas with us…my brothers are with the in-laws this year. Hopefully it will be a white one!
THis year we are staying home and visiting family after christmas. We are working on our own family traditions. We will open a few presents on christmas eve and then Santa brings the rest. ecouvillion@Hotmail.com
We'll spend Christmas morning at home. First thing we read the Christmas story from the Bible and then have the kiddos open gifts. We'll spend the rest of the day visiting with family. sbdowning at yahoo dot com
Wow – what a giveaway! Thanks! My family and I will be heading from Katy up to the Frozen Tundra of Wisconsin to visit my mom and sisters – so excited to spend time in the snow, build snowmen, drink hot cocoa by the real fire, lounge around in woolen jammies, etc, etc.
What a sweet giveaway! We plan to celebrate Christmas morning at home with the kids, then later on in the day we'll head to my parents this year. Both sets of parents and all sibilings/families live near by, so we'll do Christmas with inlaws the next day, and other inlaws one week prior. Hope I can keep it all straight this year. As long as the kids are having a good time, I will too. Merry Christmas!
My family reads the story of the Christ Child from scriptures on Christmas Eve, then open one gift. Christmas morning we take turns opening gifts and spending time with each other.
Oooh, the mixer we've had since our wedding just pooped out! My husband's arm would love a break!
I am soooo excited!! I have been wanting one of these but haven't wanted to spend the money. We are doing Christmas Eve with the inlaws, Christmas morning at our house with just the family, and Christmas night with my family. We are going to be so exhausted. I love it!
I am a subscriber! Love love your site.
Since I wont have my daughter for this Xmas year, I am going to be spending time working. :DI'll also be doing some traveling to the gathering for both sides of the family. Have a big White elephant Xmas and share in the joy and laughter that comes from it.I think I shall spend the rest of the time on my hobbies and see if I can make something worth giving as gifts or selling. 🙂 My artistic side hasn't been used in some time. :)BTWI posted this to my facebook and I hope that I get some entries from my adoring buds who join your blog. cough. ;)I could use a Kitchen Aid. I can never find them on sale to buy them. heh 🙂
Shut. Up. !!!!! That is the greatest giveaway I've ever seen! I almost picked one of these up on Black Friday but put it back so I could get other things. 🙁 We sort of do the same thing every year-get up around 6 and let our 2 open presents, then we go to my grandmas (who lives right behind of us!) for more presents and a HUGE breakfast. Then we go to our inlaws for a little bit, come home, play a little, then have lunch at my aunts. Its a chaotic, wonderful day!!!
WOW, what a great giveaway! We are having Christmas Eve dinner at our house and going to my in-laws for Christmas day. 🙂
We're going to have a relaxed Christmas at home. We did the frantic dash to relatives houses for Thanksgiving.What a great giveaway!
Our Christmas plans include going to the in-laws Christmas eve and then Christmas at home on Christmas day
We have a tradition. We spend Christmas Eve at my in-laws. Then Christmas morning Santa comes and then that evening my mom, stepdad and my sister's family come over for dinner & presents!I'm so excited about this giveaway. I was planning on getting one on black friday, but the kids presents came first and I ran out of time and $$$! Merry Christmas to your family!Hattiehatt1380(at)aol(dot)com

We always go to the early Christmas Eve service then come home and have goodies to eat, usually fresh fruit and veggies, summer sausage and cheese and crackers, and cookies. Then we decorate a Gingerbread House. Then we watch a Christmas movie. The kids are usually asleep by this point. I hang the stockings and we're off to bed. Christmas morning the kids can open their stockings, then we have breakfeast. After we read the Christmas story the kids can open their presents. Later in the day we have Christmas dinner using my Grandmother's Christmas dishes.
I subscribed and I commented on FB
I had all kinds of plans for Christmas this year! We were going to drive seven hours to see my family and have a big old fashioned Christmas! But, you know what they say about the best laid plans! Instead, I will be nine months pregnant this Christmas, and ready to pop like the timer on a turkey. =D My family is coming to visit me! I'd love to have an amazing mixer like this to prepare baked goodies for them.
I have wanted one of these FOREVER! Thank you for such a great giveaway! Our family is spending Christmas at my parents house with my parents, my brother and his family.

This is our baby's first Christmas so it is exciting! We switch each year Christmas Day & Christmas eve between my parents and in-laws and spend a day with each.I am also a follower of your blog.
We'll let the girls open presents here Christmas morning & then drive from OKC to Dallas to see my in-laws. Then bright & early (like 5 am) I'll go after Christmas shopping with my sister to Wal-mart & Target to pick up decorations & stuff for next year plus gift sets for 1/2 price. It's been our tradition for more years than I can remember so it's nice to be able to do it still, even though we live in different states now.
Spending time with family and friends!
My Christmas plans for this year are to go to my husband's grandmother's home for Christmas Eve with our four kids to open gifts and have Christmas dinner. On Christmas Day, we take our time opening gifts at home before heading over to my parents house to celebrate with them. amanda.corley@ymail.com

we always go to my MIL's house for Christmas Eve and if I counted right, there should be 39 of us…my husband is 1 of 8 kids. Don't worry, we don't buy for everyone, just the kids that haven't graduated from high school yet, that is our cut off mark. We always have a huge buffet of everything imaginable to eat, we sing carols and then open presents.On Christmas Day we stay home and my family comes over around 11AM to open presents and have lunch. Much less chaotic, only my parents, my brother, my SIL and niece.Thanks for the chance…this is amazing!!
We'll be celebrating Christmas at home but it sure would be fun to make some goodies with that mixer!

This is our first year back in the city, we usually go to my SIL for christmas eve, tamales and midnight presents, but this year we're staying home.
We are staying home this Christmas with my husbands family having a couple of parties.
I am a subscriber to your blog. It is one of my favorites.
We're just staying home this year for Christmas. All that holiday baking would be much nicer with this great mixer.
We plan on spending Christmas with our new 6th month old son. We are so excited to share in his first Christmas.

We stay around home for Christmas. All of our family lives close, it's just a matter of getting together with everyone. Christmas Day is reserved for just us at home in our jammies watching the kids open presents and then we have a giant breakfast. A nap is always in order too!! LOL What a great giveaway.Tebbletmstearns1977@yahoo.com
Great contest!! We are spending a quiet Christmas at home this year with our three young children – our FIRST year at home not traveling. So excited!! It will be relaxing and special.I also tweeted your giveaway too, followed you on Twitter and followed your blog! Thanks!
Every year we have a tradition of my father reading the Christmas story from the Bible and all the kids dressed in Mary, Joseph, 3 Wiseman, Angels and baby Jesus (if we have a baby, they are Jesus, if we don't at the moment we use a doll). We get together on Christmas Eve to do this and everyone brings gifts and food to share. Then on Christmas morning we are all together with our individual families and later we get together for Christmas dinner. This year my hubby has to work on Christmas day, so Santa will probably come on Christmas Eve after all the festivities of celebrating the True meaning of Christmas, which is Christ's birth. I love your blog, just got introduced to it and love the deals you post….thank you so much for taking time out of your busy life (I have 7 of my own) to do this.
I brought my mom to your blog! I send her emails with info from you blog all the time. She does not have a blog so she entered under Anonymous her name is Karen Frickkerriekg@yahoo.com
I will spend Christmas with my daughters and their families. I love getting together with all 6 of my grandson's!karenkfrick@yahoo.com(my daughter showed me this giveaway her name is Kerrie)
After 4 1/2 months in the hospital (CVICU) my husband's grandpa recently got to come home. We are looking very forward to celebrating Christmas with him esp since we almost lost him three times during that timeframe. Also after four sons we had a little girl this summer and now our family is complete. So this will be our first Christmas with our "complete family".
driving 24 hours to be with family for christmas and new years!

we have a traditional christmas, and we have all our family at our house all 20 some of them for 2 days!!
Count me in! We're spending Christmas the way we always do . . . at home in our pajamas all day long! I would have it no other way!!I'm a follower.
Holy Crap I hope I win!I usually hang out with my super cool sister and her family 🙂
Christmas plans are to stay home in the morning (we usually go to my parents) with the kids and actually play with the presents they open. Then have Mom and Dad over for Coffee and treats. Then head over to Mom and Dads for Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings and a couple of sisters, neices, nephews, brother-in-law…
I can tell you what we are NOT doing: This year will be our first Christmas on our own, after 6 years of spending it with family, either with family in UT or TX. It is also the first time in 2 years we will NOT be moving the day after Christmas! I am so excited about that! So needless to say, this year ought to be very interesting! But usually we put out cookies and milk for Santa, carrots for the reindeer…then Santa comes and on Christmas morning we open presents….seeing how we usually spend the rest of the day with extended family, I'm not sure what else we'll do this year since we are not close to any family.
Great giveaway!! This Christmas it's just the 3 of us– me, my husband, and daughter. We're just gonna stay home and open gifts, eat a big dinner, and relax!!

We unwrap one gift on christmas eve, then the rest in the morning! With LOTS of food of course!!
Just the 4 of us on Christmas morning, then we go to have dinner and exchange kids gifts with the in-laws (whom I adore). Then the 2 kids and I will head out for St Louis for my side of the family get together. My DH has to stay and work. theindy4 at sbcglobal dot net
Choose me! I follow your blog! For Christmas this year we are going up to NY to visit my family. We haven't been in a few years and I am really looking forward to my Mom's annual Christmas Eve party with tons of good friends and family. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for your wonderful blog- not only does it have great deals, but I love the family stores too! Katie : )
My entire family will spend Christmas Day together (breakfast, open presents, lunch, lounge, then a restful evening), followed by a week of rest and relaxation at the beach. In the past few years it has become one of our best traditions!
i love christmas its my favorite.christmas eve we see my husbands granfather and then we eat dinner and do stockings at my grandmas hous.christmas day we wake up at our house do our stockings go to my parents house,then to my husbands parents house have dinner.And the next day is my birthday #24

Christmas will be spent with our kids and grandkids. We are hoping for snow to try out the new sled.
OMG….what a wonderful giveaway! Since both sides of the family live in town, Christmas can be hectic…so to follow our own "new" tradidtion we are having our second anual "open house" with a mixture of my families receipes and my husbands yummy tamales. Kids have much more fun staying home and family come to visit them!
We don't have what most would call a "traditional" Christmas, but we love it just the same! I have two daughters, 24 & 25 that will come in from Ponchatoula, Louisiana (they moved there to go to school, 1 graduated, the other is a senior) and my boyfriend and his 17year old son will celebrate by getting up really early (I run around the house screaming Santa Came, Santa Came) waking everybody up, cuz it's more fun for me that way! LOL – anyway, we have fund time opening presents, then I fix a giant breakfast and then we all watch tv (actually take naps) while waiting for dinner that night!
We are having 6 family members flying over 1,000 miles to stay with us for a few weeks. The cousins are so excited to see each other again! We really just plan on being together and have lots of storytelling and eating. Gifts are only for the children this year. All the adults agreed with a sigh of relief to do this! I can't wait!klapat at gmail dot com

We will spend Christmas Eve with my husbands family and Christmas Day with mine. Thankfully they live fairly close together!!
I plan to eat Chili on Christmas eve with my family and then relax with all of them on Christmas day, and our golden retriever, Mollie! 🙂
Awesome giveaway! My daughter and I are happy to say that our USN sailor will be home for CHRISTmas so we will be spending time here at home opening gifts and then head to a friend's house for lunch!Thanks for the chance.sabrinasredd@hotmail.com
I follow, I tweeted, I blogged, I facebooked. WOOT! As for the holidays, I'm going to be hiding from my inlaws. shh.. don't tell 🙂
We are planning just a quiet holiday at home….no family in but the immediate 5 of us!! We always see a movie on x-mas day too!!
How very nice you are! Not having to rely on the old hand mixer when making holiday treats would be so nice. This will be our first Christmas ever without my grandmother who passed away in May. Our Christmas will be humble, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and spending time with family and friends. Faith, family, and friends — that's what the holidays are all about!
Ok, I am leaving a comment…I am a follower…you have my email…and I have no idea what we are doing for Christmas other than dealing with the monster-in-law!! I figure we will have a National Lampoon's Christmas this year!
We are going skiing in New Mexico for Christmas, and I follow your blog!
Seeing as I did not get to spend thanksgiving with my family because my died on the way to see them, I am hoping to spend Christmas with them. I also plan on reconnecting with a few old friends. And the best part, EAT LOTS AND LOTS OF REALLY FATTY FOODS!!!
We are usually at home on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Christmas Day is very busy. We visit 2 sets of grandparents. We are so worn out by the end of the day. However, this year might be a little different, because I am thinking of surprising my husband with tickets to see his favorite NFL team that will be playing a few hours away. We will miss him so much that day, but he may not have another chance to see the team that he has been loyal to since he was a boy.
I do not have a stand mixer. This has been on my wishlist forever.We are driving to Tampa, FL to spend Christmas with family.I'm already a follower and I will spread the word. I'll post on facebook right now.Thanks,? Joy
Not sure what we're doing on Christmas yet. Hoping to visit my family in CA, but it might not work out.I also subscribed to your feed. Thanks for the giveaway!
Great giveaway! For the holidays we are are visiting with my parents; then flying to see our dearest friends who were relocated 1000 miles away this fall.I am now following this totally awesome blog and a fan on FB, too!
I want a low key christmas with more handmade/thoughtful gifts than a bunch of presents we don't need. I'll definitely put the giveaway on my facebook because that is one nice mixer!
We usually spend Christmas eve with our daughter, son-in-law, and 2 beautiful granddaughters, here at our home. Then on Christmas we travel an hour away to my parents home to spend time with the rest our Family. We usually have around 30 family members gathered together in one small home, but the more the merrier…We are all totally aware that my parents are getting older and we are enjoying all the time we have left with them.

What a fantastic giveaway!! We will be spending Christmas with my family and then heading to my in laws to drop the kids so hubby and I can have a well deserved vacation! Happy Holidays!
I moved six hours away from my family and our Christmas traditions to live on his family's farm with my husband (which is now our farm). Back home my family always got together on Christmas Eve, went to church then had an extended family dinner. Afterwards we would drive home and take the long way so we could see all the different Christmas scenes and decorations at different neighborhoods. Since I moved away I have started the same tradition, just with my husband's family. We have the SAME routine and even dinner menu as my family so that my little one's don't miss out on the loved holiday traditions I grew up with. Christmas is spent at home with grandparents coming over to see their grandkids gifts. What a great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity! Margie tccsreading@yahoo.com

This will be my first Christmas without having my kids with me on Christmas Day. When we do Christmas, we will get up early, open presents, make a big breakfast, then play with the toys and games the rest of the day. If we actually get a white Christmas, we will find fun stuff to do outside too.
I had a friend come and sign up!
We are spending Christmas eve with my husbands family and Christmas day with my family, after an out of town wedding of a close friend the Sunday before Christmas. Also, my brothers birthday the Tuesday before for which I am baking the cake. We're going to be busy but we are thanking God that we have family to be busy with.
I am also folling on facebook.
No rushing around this year we are just going to stay home with the kids and enjoy family time lvn777 at charter dot net
I currently don't have any plans for Christmas! My parents divorced when I was in junior high and holidays have been a mess since. My mother is out of state, my Dad celebrates with his fiance's family, and my siblings typically go to their in-law's, which leaves me, the single childless one (aka the free babysitter) gets stuck either having a traditional mexican Christmas with my BIL's family (We grew up with Swedish traditions, so I'm usually totally lost and fall asleep), or to my SIL's parents house where everyone forgets who I am or why I am there…. Fun! LOL This is why I should win! Pick me! Pick me! If your child's magical hand finds it's way to my entry, then I can spend Christmas with my NEW MIXER! Yay!!!!!!!Maybe I will stay home and celebrate with the cats this year! They know who I am! 🙂
Oh, and I follow you, and I subscribe that way! 🙂
We are working on starting some family traditions of our own this year. We'll be making goodies and delivering them to friends and this mixer would sure come in handy!Jen D.I follow you on facebook and I subscribe!
We will spending Christmas at home this year on our own and looking forward to next year when our oldest son returns from serving a mission! We will miss all of our extended family this year as they are too far away to get together with on a yearly basis, but I am sure we will get together with friends and enjoy celebrating the birth of Christ!
I follow your blog and I'm happy you've returned to your old format 🙂

I was told about your blog giveaway by Audrey Beebe. I'd love to enter your contest.Our holiday has kinda turned into a 3-day holiday spectacular. There are so many family members and friends to visit that we've slowely added more and more days to our celebration. We spend Christmas Eve with my family where my parents and sisters do our holiday gift exchange. Christmas is just a time for us and our children. We do our own christmas and then we go see a movie and visit a few friends. The day after Christmas we go spend with my husband's side of the family. We do a big Christmas breakfast and exchange gifts and hang out with his brothers and sisters all day. So much fun!
I put a comment on facebook with a link to your blog 🙂 I would sure love to win!
Hi Tiffany! What a great blog, I love it! We are going to sunny San Diego for Christmas to spend time with my family and introduce them all to our newest little guy, Alex. I would love to catch up with you soon. You are obviously very busy with great things. Can you send me your address for a Christmas card?? Love, Chelsea
My husband and I are going to go get my Mom in Jacksonville and bring her back to our house in Tampa. She will stay for a week. She was so excited about coming to our house. We have two grown children, so we will have a nice somewhat quite Christmas at home.
What a AWESOME giveaway! My plans for Christmas are to wake up early with the kiddos (nobody ever sleeps in right?!) and open presents and eat our traditional breakfast casserole. We will then let the kiddos play and get ready for our extended family celebration that afternoon.I will blog on coupondealsandsteals.blogspot.com and facebook it and tweet it and become a follower…so I guess that's 4 for me!Thanks Again!
My parents are trying to talk us in to going to Dallas and having Christmas at their house. I think I want to stay at home and start my own family traditions. My mom promised me a week without kids if we came and that is extremely tempting. 🙂
awe heck! here's my hat for your ring. :)this christmas is a season of maybe's. if i can sell a painting or two we might have enough money to go home to iowa for the holidays. if not, we'll be here in south carolina… baking cookies and and dreaming of a white christmas. :)i follow you (not in a creepy stalker sort of way but in an absolutely friendly normal way)… and i posted this on facebook. 🙂 (i hope you have someone lined up to rub your hand, arm and shoulder down after all this writing!!)merry christmas, tiff!
"betty" is me… sarah. in case you didn't know. 🙂
Wow…how generous of you. We got to Christmas Eve services and then out to eat (we don't have any family living close) Our kids then get to open one present on Christmas Eve from us (the parents!) We then get up and eat a huge breakfast that always includes bread pudding. Read some special Bible passages and then open presents. We love it!
what a great giveaway! My parents will come over Christmas Eve for dinner, Christmas a.m. we open presents and then go to late Mass. Then off to my cousins in the late p.m. for an extended family Christmas dinner. my e-mail is tmnieto@yahoo.com
We are going to have a nice and quiet ( as quiet as 4 kids 9-5 can be) family day. Staying at home so the kids can play with the new toys.
We are going to stick around and just have a good time with our kids. This give away is awesome. ronaldbalpe@msn.com
We'll be spending Christmas with both sides of our families, doing the rounds to see everyone!
I follow your blog.
posted on facebook about this giveaway.
i am blessed to be able to spend the holidays with my children, siblings and parents.
We have a quiet Christmas Eve at home. We always watch Christmas Story and my sister spends the night here. We have pork pies and snacky type food. Christmas day our families get together at my brother's house. We do a Yankee swap and eat all kinds of yummy food.
we're having 12 people in my 3 bedroom house for a week.. it'll be so close it'll feel like christmas! i'm looking forward to our night of sugar cookie making with my neice, mom, mother in law, and sister in law! (while the guys sit around and drink beer in the garage!)amyrrector @ gmail . com
Realizing some Christmas goals this year! Doing Advent with my children (the countdown to Jesus birthday), and keeping things simple. This mixer would be great for the tradition I want to begin- making sugar & gingerbread cookies with my 3 children, and have fun decorating them while listening to Christmas tunes :0) We also do this at Thanksgiving time for my Nana who is in a nursing home with dementia. She doesn't remember us, but it teaches us that true love is when you give to someone and don't expect something in return. Merry Christmas!

Oh, I need a new one! Mine rocks when I use the dough hook.

This Christmas will be spent with wonderful friends that are now part of our additional family!! Love your Blog & your Facebook page! You continue to amaze me!! If I win the giveaway I might have to learn to actually cook / bake!! I'm sure my kids would be excited to see that!!!
Great giveaway!! 🙂 For the holidays I'll be spending time with my family and enjoying the kids out of school.p.s. My mom and I are going to see PW this weekend too! 🙂
The Donohoe's will not be spending christmas on Falling Star Ct this year 🙁 We wont get to see all the Davis Grand kids running around with their new gifts! All five of us ( yes ever James) are traveling to New York state to be with family for Christmas. Also having all the family in the same place we will hold a memorial service for Grandma at her favorite chapel in New York. It should be beautiful to have a White Christmas and to celebrate Grandmas life. Sadly Charlie and the Cats will be left behind :(PS i received a forwarded email about your website from my sister i suppose from katie and it's so cool! love a good deal
We are going to spend time with family and friends which is so much fun.
Wow! What a great give away prize. I hope I win – I've been wanting a Kitchen-Aid so long. This Christmas will be much quieter than I'm use to. Just hanging with parents and hopefully a little game time with some siblings.
Well our plans for Christmas this year is…I have to work on Christmas Eve, (I am a nurse so we always have to share working the holidays!)On Christmas morning my husband, daughter and I will open presents then head to the inlaws, later that day will go to my grandparents house for Christmas there. Saturday after Christmas we will go to my aunts to celebrate christmas with my moms side of the family! and somewhere in there we will go to my parents to celebrate christmas…just don't have the set day yet!
May Canadians enter? My grandma, aunt, and uncle will be visiting for a week. We don't have any firm plans other than that – a lot will depend on the weather – but I'm looking forward to playing Scrabble with my aunt.
i'm usually at home..but this christmas to celebrate together! and we will have breakfast outside chirstmas morning! yay! 🙂

We plan to have a big family gathering at our place on Christmas eve with my husbands family. They holidays are always bitter sweet for them since they lost their mom. This will be the second Christmas since she passed away so I am going to try and make this a very happy event and concentrate on making everyone smile. Last year was rough on everyone!
I got this from Ashlei Mathews, and subscribed to your blog.
Thanks much for the opportunity to win the mixer. Great idea! My husband and I are going to spend christmas morning at home quietly opening our gifts. Well mix up our special pancake recipe and make our red & green pancakes yummy. Then go over to my parents house and visit and open more gifts, then off to his mother's house and visit:) Busy day, well lucky enough that our parent live just minutes away!
This year, my son is 14 months old, so Christmas is going to be TONS of fun! PLUS…we just got our first house, we should close this week. SO, we are celebrating our family in our new home! (Such a needed move since the area we live in has really gone down hill, and was no longer safe for our son). Landry (our son), loves Christmas lights, so I can't wait to decorate our new home. I love this giveaway! I've wanted one of these forever, I do a lot of baking. My mom is a high school assistant principal, and I bake cakes for the staff for birthdays. I have to use her mixer because they are such big cakes, so having one of my own would be fantastic! I am also going to subscribe and facebook.
My plans for the holidays are to drive all aroudn New England visiting both are families. Its a lot of driving but worth it since we only see them a few times a year.
My plans for the holidays are to spend lots of time with my family and eat all those wonderful Christmas goodies while playing games!
This year my mom is driving from iowa to suprise my sons by arriving on Christmas day. We are so excited. We are also hoping to fit in cookie decorating in there too! I posted on my blog and facebook about you (I have a feeling you will get a lot more people following your blog after this giveaway!)

Holiday Plans include celebrating Jacqueline's 1st birthday, baking cookies, having my mom here and enjoying my family.
I wish I could tell you my plans for the holidays. I haven't even gotten that far yet. So far, I've received a couple of Christmas cards (one of my favorite parts of Christmas) and I lit the fire tonight. Hoping to shop next week and maybe even decorate too. I have a feeling it's going to be a quiet Christmas this year. 🙂
I just signed up to follow again!
Love your blog– I will be spending Christmas with my husband and children– it is always a very low key day for us since our family lives out of town. Give us a chance to really connect as a family since everything is closed and we truly spend the whole day together.
I will cook gumbo for all my famiy and inlaws as well, as I do every year. Along with desserts and appetizers! Most importantly, me and my daughters will bake a cake and sing happy birthday to Jesus.
I'm hoping for a very quiet Christmas at home. That is the plan so far. Just us and plenty of Christmas movies would be perfect.
We have the great fortune of having most of our grandparents still alive…but it makes for some hectic holidays! We have one grandma's (complete with many aunts/uncles/cousins) the Sunday before, another on Christmas Eve, my in-law's whenever it fits inbetween, our family's Christmas morning, my Mom's Christmas evening and my other Grandma's in early January. Oh…and we still have another Grandma's to go to, but she never decides when her xmas will be until the last minute….aarrrgghhhhh!!! We love having tons of family around, and cooking with a new mixer would be devine. Happy Holidays!
I love your blog, btw, and am a follower!
we plan to visit lots of family this Christmas. Denise N.

Because of my husbands work schedule, we won't be heading home for the holidays (10 hrs away) until Dec. 27. So, the four of us plan on lots of holiday baking (this is where the mixer comes in handy :), hanging out by the fireplace and visiting with friends and neighbors!
I have been using my Kitchentics for 22 years and the motor is showing its old age and all that I've put it through. SO if I am the lucky one you draw, you know its going to a needy kitchen (big grin). If you don't draw my name, it's okay, someone else needed it more.Your blog just amazes me everytime I visit! How do you keep up with it all? You young mothers are just plain out amazing.Plan on just being with family this Christmas, maybe dig out and finish some "old" Christmas projects that are hiding in the closet.Terry
For Christmas we go to my mother's house for Christmas Eve, then the family all comes over to our house on Christmas day. That gives an opportunity for the kids to play with whatever Santa brings them, and the family to spend time together, too. I follow you on Twitter now, too. I am here for the first time from @ThingsMomsLike recommendation on Twitter.
We do so much for Christmas! Christmas Eve we go to my in-laws and husbands grandparents then Christmas Day we go to both of my grandma's houses. This year is our first year in our new house and with 2 little ones I am really contemplating taking it a little easy, but I doubt it!
Visiting family in Texas and hoping for snow!
Tiffany how do you do it! All those beautiful kids, an awesome web site and 'give away contests to boot.' I am actually headed to Texas to spend a couple of weeks with my grandkids (your niece's) and celebrate an early Christmas with them. My hubby will pick me up on his way home from his current movie, and we will make the delightful drive clear across Texas, NM,CO. and home to Utah for a very quiet Christmas. We have decided to keep it very small this year just for the simple fact that we have had so many blessings lately, that big gifts just don't seem important right now. This of course is his idea and I support him 100%, but a new mixer would make my season bright. This is my first time into your blog, so give Tonia some extra credit cause her blog always mentions you and I got in through hers. You do a great job and I will follow it from now on. – Thanks- Becky Roundy
This would be a great present for my 30th birthday which is in about 11 days! My plans…well…spend Christmas day with the In-laws and Saturday with my family. And maybe getting a nap in somewhere. 🙂
We will have Christmas at home with family and then head to Chicago for New Years with the in-laws
As usual, I will host my family on Christmas Eve, and we will spend Christmas Day will my husband's family. I am very excited to this year as it will be my son's first Christmas and my daughter is two now and more aware of all the celebration. I also follow you on Facebook and Twitter. I have posted the giveaway on my Facebook page.

Christmas plans this year? Playing with the new KitchenAid I'm going to win!! lololol! ;-)AND… we'll be going to MIL's house sometime during the day. Our kids are young enough, that we wish we could stay in our jammies and let them play with their presents all day. BUT, asking MIL to cart ALL of her presents to our house is a bit much. So, we'll go there, probably for Christmas lunch.Thanks for the chance! Awesome giveaway!
we are making the crazy-round-the-country round trip we have done in the past: first stop tennessee, on to michigan, then back to chicago. it can be grueling in the car but it is always good to see everyone…melanie(dot)myatt(at)gmail(dot)com
What a wonderful giveaway!! To start a new tradition in our family one year ago we decided to have an open house each year. This way the kids can stay at home and enjoy their gifts and we dont have to run to twenty different places! 🙂 We have asked all family and friends to stop on by for a bite before they visit their extended families. kendatoothfairy@q.com
YIPPEE!! I've been wanting one of these for a few years ago but never splurge on such nice things for myself! 🙂 Our family is all over the place. We split our day between in laws, immediate family and home. Makes for an exhausting few days…but so worth it to see everyone. My mom's family meets a week or so before Christmas for pictures and gift exchange so that we can all do things with our own families on the day of Christmas – sure makes it easier! And this year, my cousin is home from overseas – so a true gift to us all! Happy Holidays!
Not really sure what we are doing for the holidays this year! I love Thanksgiving and Christmas the most of all out of the Holidays!!!We are hoping for a job offer for my husband as our family Christmas gift this year!!Happy Holidays!!
We are spending Christmas day at home just our little family. This should be fun since out little one is old enough to enjoy presents and Christmas morning
I follow this blog
We do our family thing here at the house and linger over a breakfast of cinnamon rolls and bacon-waffle casserole -Oh, the carbs! Yum! We read the Christmas story at the table before tackling presents. Next, we play with our toys, call extended family and just sit back in bliss. Later, we bundle up and go have Christmas at Grandma's with all of my family driving in from all over. Instead of a gift exchange (which could get pricey) we all bring an item from our house; we call them 'yardsale gifts'. Some are great, some are quite ornery. Gifts are wrapped and place din a pile in the middle of the floor and we play a game of Sneaky Santa with them. Lots of laughter and love. We stay and linger over good food and good company until the children start dropping like flies and then we drag ourselves home. With blurry eyes, we light the Christ candle in the Advent wreath and read our final Advent verses of the season. My mixer died, right before Thanksgiving and I'm broke – what a fun possibility! Thank you for hosting such an incredible giveaway!
I am bringing my new baby (and her 4 older sibs) home to meet my parents. Can't wait for the holidays!
What an awesome giveaway! Our Christmas will be pretty quiet this year. At least I think! I have to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. At least my brother will be cooking this year, so we will gather later in the evening and do presents and such then.
My family will be flying in from Alaska, Arizona, Washington, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia to spend the holiday with my mom and extended family in California. We will gather, for the first time since my dad's and aunt's passing, to celebrate with the extended family, as we did every year when we were young. We share lots of good food and fellowship with family and friends…what the holidays are best for. Your give-away is a good reason to share these traditions…

Oh Geez, I just want to celebrate Holidays with Holiday magic…that is to get some nice surprise gifts…I have never won a lottery or raffle or general prize.I hope this year brings in some luck!Crossing my fingers.Thanks
We usually make cinnamon rolls and read the Christmas story from the Bible. Then my son opens gifts after that. This year my sister wants EVERYONE to stay the night with her so we can all wake up together on Christmas morning! We probably will but I don't think the kids will ever go to sleep!
We are spending Christmas with family. We're blessed to have a wonderful family to spend the holidays with.
I subscribe to your blog as well.
Our holiday is going to be laid back. We bought the kids a train table and set this year, so I am sure the morning will be busy playing with that. Thanks to your great heads up on the best deals, we are going to have a great Christmas for very little expense. After a big breakfast, we will be taking a 2 1/2 hr drive to Watertown, NY and spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa. That will be the best gift for the kids we could ever give them! Here are my other entries2: I subscribed to your RSS for My Yahoo3: Retweeted the entry (@jhaea)4: Following you on Twitter5: Posted it on Facebook (Robin Wright)6: Became a Fan on Facebook Thanks for the awesome opportunity!
We are going to visit my family and my hubby's family. Should be filled with fun and food! That mixer looks amazing!
As usual, we will be traveling to Michigan to spend time with my family. We will travel the day the kids get out of school and leave after Christmas Eve dinner so we can be back at our home in Ohio for Christmas morning
Robin Wright sent me!This has been such a taxing year. My mother has been through cancer,she's now legally blind, my father had a blockage in his kidney has lost sight in one eye, my mother in law came home from the nursing home and is bedridden and my husband is working two jobs… Our plans are going to be a little different this year. But I've still found my joy in the season. Bills were ignored so that my girls will still believe in Santa and right now, holding on to that innocence is so much more important than a month of phone service. We'll be spending Christmas Eve with my parents. That was always the family dinner and excitement when I was a kid. 🙂 We opened all of our presents then too. The girls get more excited for that than Christmas Morning. I hope it holiday season finds you and yours lovely!
We go to my brother every year and we always try to think of new recipes to make. Half of the family that will be there are vegans so it always is an interesting day. In the family there are 19 total people going to be there 9 kids and the rest adults and most of the time my sister in-laws family shows up too. So they end up with a packed house on Christmas.
My plans this year is to hopefully make our 1 year old's First Christmas the best one ever. We relocated to San Diego 4 months ago from our home in Texas, so we'll be without family this year. It's alright, because we've made a few great friends here thus far. We've put up lights, sung her (Bailey) Christmas songs and wrapped her gifts. She's SO curious to what's in those boxes. We'll have a 12 pound turkey to devour among the three of us, so a lot of sleep is in store.. Thanks for the opportunity..v/r Ronnie
Awesome Contest. I am doing the home thing of to My husbands Aunt but thinking of doing more. Lots of baking. I do not own a mixer of any kind. I mix by hand but would love this. It is on my wish list.
We are having a baking party with the in-laws a few days before Christmas. Then Christmas day my family and my fiance's family will have lunch together. This year I will get to help decorate for the lunch. Maybe soon I can start cooking!! I became a follower and will post on facebook about this.
This Christmas should be a super fun one for me! My baby boy just turned 1 on the 3rd, so it will be so exciting watching him open up all his fun gifts! I can not wait! We will probably be spending the night at my parents house on Christmas eve to wake up bright and early (or at least when the younger kids wake us up!) on Christmas morning! We usually do cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and than a huge family dinner! Having my baby boy in my life now has opened my eyes to cooking! I just want to bake all the time!! So a new mixer would be wonderful!! Hope you have a fablous holiday season!
We just stay home with our 5 kids and spend a very lazy day enjoying too much food and a few presents. It's what we'll do again this year I'm sure. There is no family living anywhere close other than the 7 of us – kind of nice but kind of sad.

For Christmas I plan to learn how to blog for a chance at prizes! It has taken me a few days to master this simple message so here we go. I am looking forward to being at home for Christmas with my family, opening gifts, eating and relaxing. This may be my husband's only day off and we plan to enjoy it doing as little as possible, yet making it another great day to remember when our children are grown and have their own family. I will cook like I am feeding the masses. My extended family will call and ask what I have cooked and tell me they are coming by for a plate-the foil and paper plates are ready to go!!! They will stay and chat for a few minutes but they will soon move on to their next destination-my feelings will not be hurt. For Christmas, you really cannot make any plans for they will just get replanned by someone other than you-so I "plan" to go with the flow and be prepared for whatever comes my way….
This Christmas we will stay home, just the 5 of us (well the 8 of us if you include our two little dogs and our cat.) This time of year is so busy that we decided to do what is right for us, and that is to stay home and enjoy our time together. Happy Holidays!!clink05 at yahoo dot com
I am spending Christmas with my uncle and cousins. I think we'll have a cheery time, and I've promised to make a delicious dessert. miss.maxine at gmail dot com
wow, this would be incredible. Our plans for the holiday include some baking and eating! Sharing time with family and friends and trying to go snow shoeing with our two daughters for the first time!
Well, I am about to have my third baby girl! I have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. I am due Jan. 17th but have gone 3 weeks early with my other ones. Which puts us right at… Christmas! So our plans are to stay close to home, and spend lots of time celebrating the holidays with family and friends. Decorating, going to look at Christmas lights, baking cookies and drinking hot chocolate! And wait for baby sister to come along!Thanks!hansen33@cox.net
I am going to be celebrating with my husband and son. We are thinking of making Breakfast for dinner that night!I wish I could spend time with my family, but they live 3000 miles away.luckeyudesigns@hotmail.com

I am hosting dinner for my family and my husband's family on Christmas day. We like to stay home so the kids can play with their toys and aren't being packed in the car running all over the northeast visiting family.I have a LOT of baking and cooking to do in the days leading up to Christmas and a brand new mixer would certainly help!
Since Christmas is my birthday we usually go to the in-laws so that I don't have to cook.
Hanging out with the family when I'm not working. Nothing spectacular, just together time which is fine with me. Thanks for doing the giveaway!-Lesliecarykhepburn@yahoo.com
My family will be spending time with our family and friends this year. We are praying Grandpa makes it to Christmas for one more time.Because our families live so close, we spend a lot of time in the car between homes. This year we're going to spend that time talking about what we're thankful for!

Wow – what a fabulous givewaway. Our Christmas is going to be low key as we are having a baby exactly two weeks before Christmas. My in-laws are coming over for Christmas Eve at our house and then we will most likely head to my parent's house for Christmas day. Thanks for the great giveaway!steveandlaurie@att.net
We have brunch with my parents, brother and sister and their families. They have small children, and it's such a joy. This will also be my first Christmas as a grandma. My "bonus" daughter and her husband have a son who will be 3 months old on Christmas Eve. This will be a very special year for us. I do most of the baking for the family and sure could use a nice new mixer!

we just celebrated Christmas with my family and will with my husbands in a week so christmas day will just be my husband, my daughter, and me. looking forward to it!
My husband and I are trying to start our own traditions for our little family unit of 2 adults + 2 cats. I am working at a coffee shop, which shall remain unnamed and is in fact open on Christams Day. (GRRR.) (Which is not the tradition we want to start, but I digress.) So I will most likely be working. We live several states away from both of our families, and once I knew we wouldn't travel, I don't mind working too much. It will allow some of my other coworkers to spend time with their families. My Mom may come down to spend Chistmas with us. I hope she does. My grandmother died a year ago, Mom is single, bro lives in France and sis will probably spend time with her Dad and boyfriend- which leaves Mom sitting alone. The day after Christmas Husband and I will travel to see his family for a few days.
We are hoping to celebrate Christmas morn with our young children and then drive to visit extended family.rbjj32825[at]lycos[dot]com
We celebrate Christmas by having my sister and her family and my parents over on Christmas Eve. We all go to church in the evening and then we come back for a big supper of roast chicken, with rice pudding for dessert. One of the children gets a bowl of rice pudding with an almond inside and gets a special gift.My husband and I usually buy a Christmas gift for each other that is a "family" gift, we were going to buy a mixer this year but we don't have the money. It would be so great to win this!
I just subscribed too.
I normally wing it. The cosmos has a way of destroying the best laid plans. So the most planning I normally end up doing is figuring out ahead of time what we will eat for the holidays. Of course sometime during the holidays the kids will open the advent calendar and we will read stories and bake cookies but other than that I haven't etched out details.Christinedazed1821@aol.com
I love sitting in the darkened room with the christmas music and the tree on while I snuggle on the couch with my little one!cathyenglecm@alfredstate.edu

We will be celebrating at church and then at different homes for the family celebrations. It is always a blessing to get to spend time with family.
You know we just do the usual….nice dinner on christmas eve, open the new pj's, put on the santa hats, deliver last minute goody plates and gifts, and ooooh and aaaah over all the pretty christmas lights as we pass. come home throw the kids in bed and do the usual santa thing…..my daughter 17, told me the other day the year she realized there was no santa, was the year she woke up in the middle of the night hearing me and my husband in the living room talking and putting together toys. she heard me leave the room to get a screw driver or something and heard my husband fart….ooops,… she then realized that there was no santa, because why would santa fart?!…….grandy8@yahoo.com

We are having traditional Christmas morning cinamon rolls, opening gifts, and heading over for family fun @ an local uncles house. low key and no travel. Sounds good to me!
Our Christmas plans always include spending time together as a family for lunch/dinner. In the morning, we open our gifts (mom, dad, daughter) and then the afternoon is spent with extended family. I am lucky because we all live within 30 minutes of each other. ?

Christmas morning will be at home, and then off to my parent's house to visit with my family. I am the baker around here so I will be bringing many treats to these events hopefully with the help of a new Kitchen Aid!!khsavings(at)gmail(dot)com
My family will enjoy a nice Christmas at home, However, Christmas Eve will be spent with my parents and their friends. Nothing spectacular is planned. We are just happy to spend it this year with our new addition. He was born in October. What a fantastic giveaway.
Your tew cute sister sent me to your blog and I'm very excited about your contest!My husband and I just married in October, so this is our first Christmas as a married couple and we decided to spend it just the two of us :DWe put up a little Christmas tree with lights and red and green ornaments (Christmas is about red and green!) It was so fun decorating a house that is all our own.We plan to sleep in, have cinnamon rolls for breakfast (Husband's favorites) and then open presents together. I suspect we'll end up waking up early because Husband is still a little kid when it comes to presents.After presents are over, we'll cook a big dinner together – since getting married, we've discovered we really love cooking together. A kitchenaid mixer would definitely fuel that fire! Then we plan to go see the new Sherlock Holmes movie. And that'll be our first Christmas together :)Thanks for the cool contest, and I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Holiday!p.s…. subscribing now!
We are having a very full Christmasthis year.

We will have Christmas at home with some extended family and then travel all around to visit others the week after Christmas!
That is a great giveaway. Our only plans are to open some presents, have a nice meal and go visit some family. Just enjoy being together. We will miss our son that is in the Army. I follow on Twitter and I am a subscriber. Merry Christmas.
We are a military family of 6 with no close relatives nearby so we will have a quiet Christmas Eve – go to church and then maybe drive around and look at the lights around town. On Christmas day it is gifts with just us and friends coming over that evening for dinner 🙂 We also have a birthday cake for Jesus that evening (I could make it in a new mixer – that would ROCK!)
Our plans for Christmas are pretty simple…get together and eat, LOL…the mixer would sure come in handy!I also Blogged about the contest:http://ruralreality.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/mixer-giveaway/
This year is going to be a little different for our family as I lost my job six months ago and have been unable to find a new job. We will be staying home and doing our best to remember what Christmas is about. We will be going to Church and praying that 2010 will bring me employment and that we will be better people by helping others whenever/however we can. Happy Holidays to everyone!! XOXO Kari, DeQuan (15), DeAndre (12), DeShawnte (10), and KiMia (1)

We are spending Christmas Eve and Day at our house with my in-laws. Then two days later we'll go to their house and celebrate it again with my BIL and SIL. Two days later we'll drive across the state and celebrate it with my Dad and Stepmom and then 2 weeks later we'll celebrate it a final time with my Mom who will fly here (Atlanta) from Flagstaff, AZ to come see us. Phew!!!LisaI subscribe too!
Our holiday plans are very low key this year. My husband and I will go to my mom's house and celebrate with her, my brother, and my mom's boyfriend.Kristin GabrielGreenfrogs21@aol.com
I'm a new follower! My holiday plans are spending time at grandma's with my kids. They are super excited and can't wait for Santa to come…I was told that Santa comes down the fireplace and if we don't have one then Santa doesn't come. My son in preschool told me this – he was concerned when he found out we were going to grandma's for Christmas – but then remembered she had a fireplace. LOL!
Our Christmas plans are pretty simple this year. We traveled 700 miles to be with my family for Thanksgiving so we will be home for Christmas. We will have it with our family and my daughter's boyfriend. beautywithmary@comcast.net

Wow! My husbands family get together every Christmas Eve to have Grandpa read the story of Jesus from the bible. After the story we open cousin gifts and gifts from Grandma and Grandpa. Christmas brings us back together with A LOT of food and A LOT of people. Usually at least 30 of us.I also follow you on my google reader! Thanks for all you do to help us save.
This is a tough Christmas for us. We lost an important family member and my inlaws are going through a tough divorce. So we are cutting bait and running away….to the beach! It's going to be cold, but it will be fun, and it will be nice to get away from the drama!

Christmas is starting next weekend for us. Going to spend it with my husband's dad and his family, then back home for a few days and off to my parents for a couple of days, but we have to be back home on Christmas Eve for Santa!I would love to win this mixer for my Aunt. She told us on Thanksgiving how hers broke and would only work on high speed, so she had to keep unplugging it to keep all the batter from flying out of the bowl:-)
Holy Entries!!! Have fun writing up all the names 🙂

That would be SWEET! Anyways, we will be going to my husband's family this year for Christmas. Every year we switch, his for Christmas, mine for Thanksgiving and vice versa. It works out well, but it sometimes is a little challenging getting all of "Santa" in our car, but we manage.
my email is ashemgra at gmail dot com thanks!
We have six children and love to just hang at home for Christmas, open presents one at a time and hang out all day, watch "planet of the apes" (don't ask) and eat.
We usually stay home and visit family. This year we will be spending all of Christmas break in Austin. My husband is a state trooper. He promoted this year and had to move to Austin. He is there usually Monday through Friday. So we decided we would go stay with daddy (because he is the best daddy :)) this Christmas. We will still come home to do Christmas eve and Christmas day with our families. Hope everyone has a great holiday.
We will be having our annual family Christmas party with aunts, uncles, and cousins from all over Texas.I love your blog!
We are going to spend Christmas at My husbands Grandmothers house. She is such a wonderful person and hostess,we never want to go home!
I follow!
christmas eve we have our friends over for a party with homemade eggnog and lots of food. christmas day all the family is over for a big dinner. lots of fun!cherubpk@aol.com
My mother, father, and sister-in-law are coming to our house in GA from NC. We will leave the day after christmas to drive to Texas to visit my parents. Have a wonderful christmas!! Lisa
For Christmas Eve we will go to a mid-night service and then afterwards sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. This year will be the first with our 8 1/2 week old daughter we want to impart with her the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. On Christmas day we will have an easy day since my parents will be out of town. We will begin with worship and prayer as a family. Then we will go to a breakfast at my husband's sisters house with his dad's family and have dinner at my husband's mom's house. Merry Christmas to you all!Nadiavirtuous4-21@hotmail.com
Ahhhhhhhh Christmas!! The best time of the year. This year we will be visiting family in Utah. We are looking forward to a nice long break. Come on Mixer!!
Our plans are still up in the air. I just want everyone to be healthy and together.Thanks!Denise
I don't know if I have much of a chance to win, but I have to try because I have been wanting a Kitchen Aid for years. Anyway, we will be going up to Idaho for about four days. And then coming back to Utah the morning after Christmas to house/dog sit for my aunt and uncle, while the are in Hawaii. To be honest, I wish I was going to be with them this year. However, I can't complain because they just bought a new hot-tub!
My Christmas plans this year are to stay home. My husband and I usually travel from our house in PA to my parents home in WI where my side of the family gathers. This year we are expecting the birth of our first child any day now and will have a Christmas here at our house with our new little family. I can't wait.

Acck!! Where did all these commenters come from!! lol For Christmas my sister and brother and their families are coming into town. So we will only be short one of the nine kids in town. I am so excited!!
My plans are low key this year…the adults in both families decided not to exchange gifts, which means a more stress free less expensive holiday season for us.
I am planning on going to South Texas to visit my parents. They are adopting two little girls, so I am trying to make Christmas brighter for them by buying a lot of the good deals I've seen posted on this and similar sites.Angela Gray
We are making this Christmas all about family. My Granny, our family matriarch, just passed away this October. So we are honoring her memory & wishes & forging ahead with our big family get together. She will be smiling down on us from heaven. She was an amazing cook & taught me everything that I know. I have been dreaming of this mixer for years. It would be wonderful. That you for your wonderful site. I have learned so much from you!
What an Awesome Giveaway!!! We will go to church Christmas Eve afternoon, then we go to my parents house (they just live next door) for the kids to open presents. Then on Christmas morning we just hang out at home, the kids open gifts and play with everything. We have Christmas dinner at our house so while the kids are playing we are cooking. My parents join us and my sister and her family and we always have extra's stop by. We have a great time spending Christmas with our famiy!!!
