Good morning! It’s so nice to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the holiday countdown. How about you? Are you ready? We’d love to hear about a special family tradition you have. Add it to today’s post!
Yesterday I took a few minutes to gather my fabric and get it cut for Merry Mayhem’s New Year’s Day mystery over at Planet Patchwork. Will you be joining the fun? I hope to see you there! I’m using an assortment of Moda fabrics from Penelope, Fresh Cotton, and Vine Creek, and Flirt by Robin Pandolph. The finished project is a 35” table topper or wall hanging, so it shouldn’t take to long to finish.
Okay, let’s see if we can get a bit closer to a Bingo winner! Ready?

The ELVES are busy making QUILTS.
Two more words brings it to 15.Maybe I'll win the giveaway.
1 word today... I know some little girls who would love the paper dolls!
Three more words today! Only need five more! I bet a lot of people put down "quilts" :) I did!
Yeah!! I got three words today. I'm so excited,I only need 10 more! :o)
The ELVES have so much fun with RUDOLPH, they are playing in the snow.
I have a feeling that we will be having a bingo today.
As for me, I feel like I still would need a million words :) But it is so exciting to see the post go up and look at my words to see what I can cross of the list!
Hope the ELVES have the QUILTS ready for Christmas Day!
I'm so happy that I was able to get 3 words today. One of our Christmas traditions is to give our kids an ornament on Christmas Eve that we bought just special for them, to remind them of something special that happened during the year.
With LITTLE DRUMMER BOY off the list I have just 7 words left!
wow, who would have thought that it would be so tough to play this game? one word today brings my total to 13-pitiful;) there's gotta be a winner out there, no?
11 more words to go, but today was a good one for me. Especially because you were so kind!
Hope everyone is having fun, I sure am. 2 words for me today. Linda

Janice... quiltingqueen57@hotmail.com
Another day and no words.
woo-hoo! 1 word today!!
Two words today. Rudolph ate all my Cookies. :)
Amongst others; All my grandkids, yes even the 19 year old, put reindeer food out every year with cookies for Santa, with a Christmas quilt with a note: "If you need to warm up, cuddle in this while you eat your snack." It is sew cute.
Happy Holidays

Two days in a row with no words....only 6 more words to go.
Once Rudolph leads Santa's sleigh into the Christmas night, the elves will have fun riding on their toboggans.
One word today - I need 14 more - I dont think I will"Bingo"! lol
thanks for the giveaways.
Out of all those words I didn't have even one!
Only 7 more words needed! So close yet so far away.
One of our traditions is to make a bunch of appetizers for Christmas day. We've got our old favorites from as long as I can remember and we try out new ones every year. We always make a plate and start with our stockings once we get to my mom's house (over 30 - wince - and I still get a stocking!). Then later we call our family in IL while they're all at my aunt's house and pretend we're together for Christmas.
Today again one word. Stiil 10 to go.
Greetings from the Netherlands,

RUDOLPH only gave me one word today. But that's o.k. Our tradition is always a pirate gift every year in addition. Some are "ha ha" gifts some more serious but always fun!
I got for words today! Yay! We don't have a ton of traditions, because we are usually travelling at this time of year. This will be our first Christmas at home in a LONG time. WE are looking forward to that.
Nothing today!
Anyone anywhere near???
The ELVES made COOKIES for RUDOLPH.

Wow. What a great word day for me. My 'elves' are busy stitching fabrics from their old clothes into 'memories' by making them into little mug rug 'quilts'. They're going to use those little cuties as 'stocking stuffers'.
I still have 14 words yet to cross off my list and then too, I still have the small problem of sending one word in twice so I doubt I can win with a bingo anyway. *sigh* BUT it's still fun to play. :)
two words for me, still ten to go! Thanks again for the fun!
The elves are working really hard now!
The little drummer boy stayed warm all night under his brand new quilt.
Yeah, 7 more to go.
Will I be the lucky one?
yahhh, I only need seven more....
two more today for me - the elves were busy filling stockings.
Oh, I would love today's giveaway! And I got a few more words! What fun! Congrats to the winner today and Merry Christmas! ♥
3 more words today, YIPPEE!
Our family tradition is to celebrate on Christmas eve. We will have about 60 people here and everyone brings appetizers to munch on throughout the evening. It's always noisey, but fun.
Two more words for me today too.

Um, that's RUDOLPH...
LITTLE DRUMMER BOY brings bqck some MEMORIES when I put up the DECORATIONS. 3 more today, great
Started out Holly Jolly Bingo with a big bang but I am seeing a decline in my chosen words....boohoo. What would be wonderful is to be the biG bingo winner and find my claim as a STOCKING STUFFER. This is my one word for the day....lol...

Three words for me today: The elves baked cookies as stocking stuffers! YUM! :^)
One of our favorite family traditions is DIRTY Bingo! It's a fun, fast paced game (esp. at the end)!!! Full of laughter & excitement...and everyone has a great time. (Even with the "Dud" gifts no one goes home disappointed. The "Duds" are on purpose to create the laughs..and the fast-paced swapping!!! But everyone knows you'll get to trade the Dud in at the conclusion of the game- for a more acceptable gift!)
3 words today, 5 to go. I'm sure someone will be yelling "Bingo" tomorrow, if not today!
10 word options and I didn't get one!!! I'm hoping I win the give-away for my new granddaughter.
bevvreeland@yahoo.com

Getting closer to the half way mark with two more words... ever so slowly.
I have 17 words. I can't wait to see who wins!! One thing we do is take a picture of the kids in front of the tree on Christmas morning with the year written on it. That way we can look back and see how they have grown from one Christmas to the next.
Yahoo... The cookies are baked, the decorations are beautiful. I'm under my quilt, little drummer boy is playing. Oh the memories are so special. What a day!

3 words and a gorgeous table runner gift from my friend today....who could ask for more
Five words today! I bet somebody is getting close.
2 words today!!!
I am finishing up collecting and wrapping stocking stuffers today. My children always looked forward to opening their stockings first to see what treasures had been stuffed in. This process could take an hour or more accompanied by lots of oohs and aahh and, of course, laughter. It is a tradtion that several of my daughters now enjoy with their own children!! My husband and I were so busy one Christmas many years ago that we discovered New Years
Eve we had somehow forgotten to open our own stockings. We enjoyed opening them that night so much that we have continued the tradition of waiting until New Years. Our children think we are crazy as they don't understand how we can wait!
I can't belive I didnt pick The littel drummer boy (my favotie carol) or Rudolph (my daughters favorite movie) but I DID get DECORATIONS, QUILTS, COOKIES, STOCKING STUFFER, and TREE SKIRT so I didn't do badly at all...6 more to go!
2 words today. I love cookies.
Yahoo! Two words today. Have a wonderful evening! I'm on the couch with a quilt and my dog drinking hot chocolate with DH and a roaring fire. Life is good!
Just 1 word today.
4 words today. Yay!
OMG - absolutely nothing AGAIN!!! Who picked these words for me anyway?!?!?! Good luck to everyone else. - Marlene
Got a couple more!
Two more words for me today!!
We left on vacation this morning and I left my list of words on the kitchen counter. But I know I have cookies and quilts. My holiday tradition that I continue to this day is holiday baking. My mom and I would bake lots of cookies and breads then I would deliver them to our neighbor and my Aunt Lenora. The best part was getting to sit and visit with them.
We always bake yummy cookies for Santa.
I got 4 today!!!!
