Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

I hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas. My heart is very happy today and extremely grateful. I’m extremely thankful that the Holiday Season reminds us to open up our hearts bigger and love each other more. 

To me, Christmas is about giving and being with the ones you love.  I love celebrating Christ’s birth and life.  I’m so thankful that he came to earth to teach us and save us. I feel peace and happiness as I try and follow his perfect example.

Spending time with my family makes me the happiest girl in the world. I love them all so much and feel incredibly thankful to be with them forever. 

I’m sharing my favorite holiday activity in New York City. If you live in NY, it’s a must and if you visit during December put this on your list! Breakfast with Santa in Rockefeller Plaza is so magical. Santa visits every table with his elves. Families fill the restaurant in matching outfits, pajamas and always share the biggest smiles with each other. Everyone is full of the Christmas spirit. After breakfast you will skip the long line at the ice skating rink and get VIP treatment. You and your family will be able to be the first ones on the Rockefeller ice skating rink. We have done this three years now. This year it started snowing while we skated. It was such a perfect morning with the ones I love so much. 

A personal tradition we do every year is journal our favorite family memories. Every year I take tons of pictures. This is my way of journalling my life with my kids, family and friends. I make digital scrapbooks, calendars, puzzles- all with my favorite pictures from the year.
This year my husband surprised me with a picture quilt.
I’m still crying over it. These are the gifts I will love forever. 
Another tradition we do every year is NEW PAJAMA’S!!! 
This year we gave our kids SKYLAR LUNA jammies. 
These are the softest pajamas. I love all the prints. 
There are so many to choose from. I love getting new pajama’s for birthdays and special occasions. Kids love it.
SKYLAR LUNA PAJAMA GIVEAWAY
It’s Christmas so it’s only fitting to give something away.
How about pajamas for your family!

  2. We always have monkey bread and grits on Christmas morning! It’s the only day of the year I make the gooey wonderful stuff so it makes it extra special : ) Merry Christmas!!

  5. I’m starting some new traditions with my young kiddos, but holdovers from my youth are reading Night Before Christmas and singing Silent Night on Christmas Eve after pajamas are on and it’s time to wind down.

  6. My favorite holiday tradition is taking a horse drawn sleigh ride on Christmas eve. We would get all bundled up and drink hot cocoa afterwards to warm up. This is a tradition that I love to keep with my own kids now. We also love to stay in our new Christmas jammies all day long and go sledding. I used to think that being a kid at Christmas the best thing ever, but now that I have children of my own, I enjoy the holidays soooo much more! Thank you for the giveaway, I follow on all social media. Merry Christmas to you all!

  7. I love reading other people’s Christmas traditions. Our family is still growing and so we are still trying to build our own traditions, but one of my favorites is opening our Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve and then reading the Christmas story from the bible before we go to bed. It’s a great reminder of what’s most important to us this time of year! Following all the Instagram and Facebook stuff!

  8. I live in Eastern PA and I think we may need to try the breakfast with Santa next year! I followed everything on FB and Insta. One of my favorite traditions is going to see Yhe Nutcracker with my girls every year. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go this year because of a big snow storm that made travel impossible so we had to eat the tickets. Can’t wait to try again next year though.
