Welcome to Live a Colorful Life. It's Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day and I'm so happy you stopped by.
Included in the giveaway are two patterns designed by me, the latest issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks (which includes one of my blocks), and a charm pack of California Girl by Joanna Figueroa for Fig Tree and Co. (because I'm a girl from California).
One of my favorite holiday traditions is "soup and cookie" day where our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren come over for homemade soup. Then while Aaron and Christa are off shopping, or just having some quiet time at Starbucks, the grandchildren and I make homemade cookies. This year we made these:
For a chance to win the giveaway, leave a comment letting me know if you have a special holiday tradition. If you are follower, leave another comment for a second chance. All readers are welcome. The giveaway ends on Friday, December 13, at 5 p.m. PST.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will stop by again.

Hi! I live in Villa Carlos Paz, Argentina, over here it's summer, so it's a must make a homemade Fresh Fruit Salad. Anyway, I ♥ making cookies. Best wishes!
juliaperucca(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)ar
Each year around Christmas, I take my niece ice skating. On Christmas morning we all gather around the tree for breakfast and a game of throwing wadded up wrapping paper at one another. Lots of fun memories. Thanks for the giveaway!
Following via Bloglovin'
I guess our holiday tradition is that we always travel. Even as a kid, my family always traveled. This year, though, we are going to my in-laws for the weekend before Christmas but are celebrating Christmas by ourselves, at home. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to say that. :) We're winging it on what sort of meal we're going to make and what activities we're going to do, but we live in Nashville, so there are plenty of options. Of course, my husband is on call (grrr!) so that may end up being a part of our tradition, too, but I'm trying to ignore that little gray cloud on my horizon.
My hubbys family gets together on Christmas Eve. We only see some relatives once a year, so it's a really nice time. Thanks for the great giveaway!
And I follow you via Feed Wrangler because it works so well with Mr. Reader for my iPad. Very similar to Google Reader, so I am quite happy my husband set it all up for me! Yay!
Our special holiday tradition...every year I pick out an ornament for each of my kids that is some kind of memory for the year. If possible I write the year on it. My grandma did this when I was a kid and it is my favorite thing to buy the kids (now grown) all year! I am always on the lookout for the right ornament...sometimes all three kids get the same one, and sometimes it is unique to them and what they are into that year. This year I got each one a camel ornament to remind us that this year was the year of the hump day camel ads lol!
I have two brothers and two sisters and we always get together for dinner on Christmas Eve with all the kids, grands and now great grands. On Christmas morning my husband makes cream chipped beef for breakfast while my daughter and I play with all the things Santa has left.
We bake cookies and decorate and listen to Christmas music.
I follow you through bloglovin!
We go to church on Christmas Eve and then open presents at my Grandpa's house!

Cute! We have an end-of-the-holiday-season open house party called the Last Noel. We blast Christmas carols and invite all our friends, and it's something the kids and their friends look forward to all year.
We decorate gingerbread houses. I glue gun them together and the kids decorate. Fortunately, they then are not edible and it really cuts down on houses falling apart.Fun for all ages. Your mice are cute.
we devote the last saturday before christmas to decorating the tree!
Home made cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning.
I am a new email follower.
A new tradition: in December I post a daily photo (facebook, instagram) of some part of my Christmas decor. Several of my friends are doing the same, and it's fun to appreciate the personal touches each one of us adds to the season. It's like an advent calendar!

With family so far away, gathering is about all we can muster. We would love to have others, but we sneak in what we can each year around travel plans.
We ride to the mountains of NC to pick out our tree every year. We listen to our favorite Christmas CDs and have lunch a the same little restaurant.

With my immediate family spread from the east coast to the west coast and to Hawaii, we do a new thing each year, or not!
We don't really have any traditions. We just like spending time together.
Those cookies are fabulous! We always do a chocolate advent calendar. Kids #1 and #2 are out of the house, but #3, who is 16, still insists on his chocolate!
My immediate family exchanges Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve. No wishlists allowed, so it is always fun to see what everyone chooses for the others!

When we make cookies, my hubby always uses the duck cookie cutter to create himself an "Army of Duckness" instead of christmas cookies.

We like to watch Elf and A Christmas story as a family.
While growing up I remember that we would always go to my aunt's place on christmas day. Always, if not almost always.
On Christmas Eve we light bayberry candles for luck and open small gifts under the advent tree! Thanks for the chance to win!
I used to love making a gingerbread house, decorated with sweets with my children. They are grown up now, so we don't do it anymore.
We always watch White Christmas. There is always grumbling at first, but then we all get enthralled. Thanks for the giveaway!
We like to ride around and look at the outdoor Christmas lights everyone puts up
On Christmas Eve, my siblings, their families, and my mom all get together. If is so much craziness but also a ton of fun. I rarely get together with everyone at once. It is usually just once a year on Christmas Eve that we are able to do this. I love your little mouse cookies. They are super cute.
My son and I watch Bing Crosby's White Christmas; it's a traditional started with my sister and mom, who are both gone now. My sister and I used to sing the "Sisters" song and laugh ourselves silly.
I'm a follower in Sacramento!
We all go to the midnight service on Christmas Eve at our local church then it's back home for mulled wine and mince pies!
We have an Elf on the shelf that the girls love!
i like our tradition of collecting items from places we've been/did for ornaments on our tree! each one has a story attached to it
My favorite tradition is Christmas Eve services, then home for Christmas movies and snacks. Simple days just to be enjoyed
We like to look at lights on Christmas eve, then come in for hot chocolate and a movie. The stillness of it all is what I love.

what a fun tradition. I do have a tradition. Ever since we have lived in NC we drive to our mountains to a farm to pick out our Christmas tree. We have been doing it for 25 years.
Merry Christmas!
Our tradition is driving around looking at Christmas lights. We try to find new areas to look every year.
I love your tradition, that's so sweet. We always decorate the tree as a family and re live some of the memories the ornaments bring from past vacations.

For 30 years my husband has been reading the night before Christmas to our daughters. Still does whenever they are with us on Christmas Eve. Hilarity grows every year.
Making gingerbread houses! Thanks for the chance!
We make traditional meat pasties for Christmas Eve dinner. The other part of the tradition is new wind-up toys for everyone at the table.
Every Christmas eve we get together with my husband's family at his oldest sister's home where we have stockings (I know, a day early!) and supper and visit, it is a lot of fun.
My husband goes with the four kids to my mother-in-law's house on the 24th, preferably in the morning (which never happens) and "mother-angel" puts up the Christmas tree, underneath the presents and cooks something "fishy". After dark the kids come home... This is our Christmas (in Hungary...)
