Congratulations! #omhgThreeBySea at 12/20/2012 01:20 PM EST Every year my mama @stephdouglas invited Christmas orphans-other folks with tiny families like ours to celebrate-want to revive this #omhgohmyhandmade at 12/20/2012 01:20 PM EST @ColleenAttara @ohmyhandmade Sounds a wonderful thing to do. We've made coconut snowballs for teachers/neighbours, to deliver xmas eve #omhgstoryofmum at 12/20/2012 01:21 PM EST with family, we'd open presents together Christmas eve, then have crepes and enjoy our stockings Christmas morning. #omhgtif_smith at 12/20/2012 01:21 PM EST Along with our Santa/Dog/Family photo, we also buy a new ornament every year for the tree. I love holiday traditions. #omhgdesigncoyote at 12/20/2012 01:21 PM EST How do you spread that most cliche & brilliant of things-Christmas/holiday/cheerful spirit? #omhgohmyhandmade at 12/20/2012 01:21 PM EST we'd also read the Christmas story in the Bible and the kids would make & decorate a birthday cake for Jesus. it's a lot of fun. #omhgtif_smith at 12/20/2012 01:22 PM EST @LoveLeeSoaps and thanks to all your hard work Leeana! You are an inspiration to young entrepreneurs everywhere! #omhgohmyhandmade at 12/20/2012 01:22 PM EST @missprissypaige yeah, no traveling for me this year. too much preggo-ness for long car rides to see family. #omhgtif_smith at 12/20/2012 01:22 PM EST @tif_smith It's brilliant being really pregnant at xmas. You're FORCED to lounge on the sofa being fed mince pies #omhgstoryofmum at 12/20/2012 01:22 PM EST @designcoyote I love making ornaments every year for the tree-we lived in apts growing up so I never had one, makes me feel joyful! #omhgohmyhandmade at 12/20/2012 01:23 PM EST @ohmyhandmade I know right?! 547 of them have been since December 1st!!!!!! #omhgcupcakes4clara at 12/20/2012 01:23 PM EST @cupcakes4clara My Daughter loves playing with her Colin doll.

Squish those little ones for me + an extra hug for you <3 #omhgohmyhandmade at 12/20/2012 01:25 PM EST My favorite part of Christmas Eve - when my dad reads The Night Before Christmas.

See you in the New Year ;-) #Omhgthelanguidlion at 12/20/2012 01:26 PM EST @ohmyhandmade That sounds like an idyllic day, my Christmas involves a lot of running around visiting lots of people for several days #omhgthegreengal at 12/20/2012 01:26 PM EST @designcoyote That is so adorable! Sela has the whole thing memorized-hearing her little voice read it is the cutest thing ever #omhgohmyhandmade at 12/20/2012 01:26 PM EST @ThreeBySea I am so so thankful for Skype and technology.

Doesn't feel right? Don't do it! #omhgohmyhandmade at 12/20/2012 01:46 PM EST @ohmyhandmade You got it! Even though my Dad & are estranged (for 20yrs now), I still have fond & special memories from childhood... #Omhgthelanguidlion at 12/20/2012 01:46 PM EST @ohmyhandmade It's probably even better if you can borrow them, and leave the house once you can't see over the wrapping paper #omhgstoryofmum at 12/20/2012 01:46 PM EST @ohmyhandmade So true. My daughter did her own Christmas cards this year for classmates. She was just over the moon to do/give them. #omhgInkandDirt at 12/20/2012 01:47 PM EST @ohmyhandmade @thelanguidlion it's definitely a life-shaper, no?
