Thanks for the chance to win one of these wonderful giveaways! The Cocoa Daisy kit looks amazing, and I don't do a lot of digi scrapping, so Jessica Sprague is a great place to start.

Wow, awesome giveaway. One of my favorite songs(love Christmas music) is 'I'll Be Home For Christmas.' Last year I listen to Amy Grant's 'I Need a Silent Night' and 'Baby, It's Christmas' and fell in love with them.

I really like "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Thanks for these great chances to win!
Also, as my family is not big Christmas people, so I have started doing a "November Daily" mini book (second year doing so). I love getting your inspiration as you set up your DD album, because I'm technically working along side you! Thanks for the great posts!

Little Drummer Boy was my grandfather's favorite carol, and since he's passed on, I've developed a fondness for it. Makes me think I should ask my parents what their favorite carols are! thanks, Ali.

O Holy Night...beautiful!

In the bleak midwinter would have to be my favorite song. It illustrates the belief that you can still find hope, even when you think you've lost it...makes me count my blessings twice...

My favorite song is "Let It Snow"! I am a school teacher who happens to LOVE the snow...so when snow is predicted (or it's falling or it is accumulated), I sing to my class "Oh the weather outside is frightful...." I have been at my current school for 10 years. And, it never fails that on the first snow of the year, past students call and leave messages of them singing "Let it snow"!!!! It always makes me smile that they remember!

I love Silent Night. My children get to sing it every year in their Christmas Program, makes me so very emotional.

My favorite traditional song is O Holy Night, but I like to put on Step Into Christmas by Elton John to kick off decorating the tree!

What holiday song do I NOT like?? I collect Christmas music and buy a new CD every year.(This year I bought "December" based on your suggestion.) Some favorite songs in my holiday CD collection include: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," "Oh Come All Ye Faithful," "Elf's Lament," "Welcome to Our World," and "Baby, It's Cold Outside." I could go on. I love the music. I love the season. I love the give-aways!

My all time favorite is Celine Dion "Another Year has gone by". Not exactly a traditional Christmas song-but anymore I like to think that I'm not a traditional type person. I think scrapbooking has made me more aware of the concept of just "being me" and that there are no restrictions, only those I place upon myself. And thank you ALi for my new mind set that "It is okay". I tell myself it is okay if I'm different.
P.S. Love to win any of these cool giveaways.
