thinking of Christmas this year we knew we didn’t want to do lots of Christmas signs but one for sure we wanted to recreate was our Christmas mantle sign from last year.
It is meaningful to me because God has shown Himself to be all of those names to my family over the last years.
It is painted on a 2 foot x 4 foot sign on a black background with white lettering and a white frame and we both thought it would be
super fun to give one away.

Baking!! For sure! My three girls and I love to bake and keeping the kitchen warm in the cool months with the oven going and the smells filling up our home!
By the grace of God, my girls have always taken seriously the True meaning of Christmas and not bought into the “me, me, me” attitudes I know I had as a child, and I see everywhere. We watch the Nativity, read through the Gospels, and talk about the meaningful origins of many Christmas symbols and traditions. They never complain about how few gifts they receive (3-4 per child, often more things that they need vs. want) and we have never really done much in terms of toy trends. We don’t have cable, so that keeps them clueless on a lot of what is out there too! They also, eagerly, go through what they do have and pick a few things to donate each year, to bless someone else, and to make room for what is coming. I LOVE this season!! <3
Spending time with my family & celebrating the birth of our king! I love going to Christmas Eve service to worship & truly focus on the reason for the season.

going to church as a family Christmas Eve and just spending time together.
Decorating starts the week of thanksgiving. Trees go up. Making gift wrap. I try something different each year. Homemade gift for the sisters. This year its Canned Soup. Roasted red paper and tomatoe and French bread. Love having g family and friends.
Baking I always make about 10 different kinds of cookies and treats to give to our friends and family at xmas time
We enjoy the tradition of drawing names with all the siblings and in-laws to determine who buys gifts for who. Everyone crosses their fingers that the “good gift giver” will draw their name. Ha! Love reading thru the scriptures with the kids regarding the promised coming King, building anticipation until we finally read about his blessed birth and arrival!
Oh, how I love your signs! I think my favorite Christmas memory/tradition is getting out my collection of nativities. When my boys were smaller they loved to set them up, taking special care to place baby Jesus just right.
My parents coming over on Christmas morning to see my kids first look at their gifts from Santa is a treasured memory. Now I get to make new traditions with my grandchildren. With parents older, I cherish every year they are here. I have a small one piece manger scene my mom had when I was a child that she gave to me recently…it is priceless.
My favorite Christmas tradition is the blessing my husband writes and reads over our children and grandchildren each Christmas morning.
We have lasagna and salad and just kick back on Christmas Day with our grown kids and their families. By then they have been to all the in laws and everyone is ready to hang and play games. I cannot wait!!
My favorite Christmas tradition is being with my children attending church together on Christmas eve and opening new pj’s before bedtime. My new grandbaby is due in April and I can’t wait to start these traditions with him/her. The signs are beautiful and I would love to own one! I’m a follower for sure!
My favorite Christmas traditions are daily devotionals through Avent (I love Ann Voskamp’s Advent devotional), watching “A Christmas Story” with my family, and baking rum cake!
Love your blog, and have enjoyed it from the very beginning. Keep up the amazing and inspirational work that you’re doing!
My favorite Christmas tradition is playing Christmas music while wrapping presents with my daughter in our craft room….Run, run Rudolph always makes us laugh
My favorite tradition is Christmas Mass at Midnight. This year we are starting a new tradition of going out to the country a cutting down our own Christmas tree. I also enjoy watching my children shop for Christmas presents for our adopt a family. It warms my heart each year.
This will be the first year w/o the tradition of going to my parents for Christmas Eve. They are in assisted living now. We use to go and take snacks and catch up with family and see the bright smiles on their faces to see the grandkids. So we will see what tradition we start this year. Thanks for the chance at a sign.
Christmas eve … with the family is my favorite memory.
Blessings on you, dearest Tiffini, as you finish up all of these orders.
SHUT UP!! I LOVE this sign!!
Okay so my favorite memory. Rubber band gun fights. I know it’s a weird one. When I was a kid we used to “help” set up the tree and we would line up old Christmas cards on the coffee table… then take turns shooting rubber bands at them. Eventually we’d begin shooting one another and my poor mother would be stuck doing the tree alone. A couple years ago we went to a lake house with all the extended family and had a rubber band fight that had me laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee. Good times.
One of my favorite traditions is going downtown and going on a horse drawn carriage ride….and going to a Christmas tree farm to pick our own tree!
My favorite tradition is listening to Christmas music, decorating the tree with the kids and making gingerbread/candy nativitiy sets. It’s the most wonderdul time of the year
oh, you KNOW i love this!!!
and one of my favorite memories is getting together with my mother in law and kiddos and making lefse.
it’s so fun and festive.
also, decorating the house and tree with kiddos with a pine candle burning and holiday inn on the tv is my FAVE.
xoxo
ps. so sorry if i stressed you out asking for the sign before thanksgiving. it truly doesn’t matter…i saw on etsy that you weren’t doing rush orders after i wrote that, and i totally understand! praise God for His blessing in this journey you trusted Him for!
I love having my kids lay under the tree in the dark, while the only light in the room is from the Christmas tree. The light in their eyes is magical & something I will never forget.
We have a family baking day each year with my mom, sister and I. We turn up the music, drink wassail and bake all day. It’s even more special because our 5 little boys are getting to the age where they want to put on their aprons and help too.
I love all the cooking that goes along with Christmas and I love having all four of our children under the roof! This year we will have both married daughters, their spouses, our grand daughter and our two sons all home together! Can’t wait!
Christmas breakfast with WHOLE family!!!
My dad used to do this, and now my husband does it for our kids. He gets each child a gift just from him. He goes out and picks it out and buys it and wraps it. I think it is sweet. Many families do this, but my kids also love putting together gingerbread houses each year. I also buy those advent calendars that they love to do the month of December.
My favorite memories of Christmas were when my kids were young. I’d put them all in Christmas p.j.’s and allow them to open one gift on Christmas Eve……..that’s when we would snap the “sane” pictures of them. LOL. I knew, on Christmas morning, the insanity would hit and all you would see was a blur of kids, ribbon, paper and then you’d hear the squeels!!!!! How I wish I could go back to those days. I don’t even get to see my kids on Christmas anymore. That’s so sad. There’s just too many miles between us.
BTW, I am PAST THRILLED to hear how well your sign business is going. Wish I could come up to MO and shop at the store!!!!!
My favorite memories are the entire family – aunts/uncles/cousins/ grandparents/etc – getting together to bake cookies & candy.
My favorite Christmas memory was last year – my first married Christmas. It was different than any before, but so special because we were together.
We always have a family get together at our house on Christmas Eve. I look so forward to seeing loved ones that I haven’t seen in a while!
christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. i love going to get a real tree and then decorating it and pulling out all the holiday decorations. i love wrapping each present specially to coordinate with the colors i have chosen for that year! thanks so much for hosting! i love this!
favorite memory was spending the night at my cousins house staring at Christmas lights laying on the floor under the tree and looking up……….it was a magical christmas that year as a kid! oxo xoxoxo
Decorating! Love pulling out all the decorations from years past, and some new, and arranging them with my babies. Drinking hot chocolate, and riding around looking at Christmas lights
Making my Meema’s recipes of fudge and candy to share with teachers, friends, etc. Such sweet times together. 
My absolute favorite tradition is wrapping the gifts and placing them under the tree. And also driving around and looking at Christmas lights. Nothing seems to say “unity” more to me than an entire street decorating the outside of their homes for Christmas!
Sitting together in a room with nothing but twinkling Christmas lights and our special nativity light and reading the story of Christ’s birth together.
Pulling out all the christmas ornaments with my sister, mom and dad. The smell of the old cinnamon ornaments that we all made the year before.. And putting the tinsel on the tree..
Just being together in the kitchen, cooking, eating, chatting and loving on eachother.
decorating, baking, the smells, time with family, soft fluffly snow falling. Remembering the birth of the savior!
I’m already a subscriber to your blog. I love your Christmas sign! some of my favorite memories of Christmas are my kids throwing on bathrobes, etc. and acting out the Nativity story for us. My husband was often the donkey!
Waking up Christmas morning and opening gifts with my family. Afterwards, we have a leisurely breakfast and just enjoy hanging out with no where to go until evening.
When I was little we’d go to my great granparents house on Xmas Eve, they were (we are) Ukranian so we didn’t have a traditional dinner, it was fish and handmade pierogies. I remember the blessings my graet grandpa would say in Ukranian, it was a small house, yet the entire family managed to fit. I ate in the kitchen which was considered the kids table, and we’d arrive early so I would get to help my great gramma with the cooking. After dinner we’d open presents and they were always the best most unique gifts I’ve ever gotten because my great grandpa would have his brother send our gifts from the Ukraine. I still have almost everything and I treasure everything dearly. Sadly they have passed and sowly the family let this tradition slip away, i wish I had been a little older so I could have learned more from them, but I have my memories, my gifts and wonderful photos!
My favorite Christmas memory is baking cookies with my mom and watching the Muppets Christmas special! We still have a copy of a copy of a copy on DVD, and though it’s not great, we still watch it, now with my kids!
these are amazing girl! AMAZING!!! my favorite family tradition is going in our pj’s to get donuts. we come home put a candle in it and sing happy birthday to JESUS! just love it:)
Christmas fondue! My family started this tradition when I was young and we were away from family. We’d go to Christmas Eve service together–candlelight, my favorite!–and then come home and start stirring and melting cheese. Even though we make it every year, someone always asks, “How do we do this again? Do we add the cheese when the liquid melts or altogether?” It was cozy and fun since we have to sit closes together, and it always made us laugh…and it still is all those things!
One favorite tradition is playing the Christmas cassette tapes I made in the early 80′s from the records we had growing up, skips and all. These sounds announce Christmas to us and my kids have memorized Christmas carols with the skips and we are very picky about who is singing our Christmas songs. It has to be those from the Firestone and Goodyear albums and those of the late 50′s and 60′s. I recently got a record player and many of the albums so we can listen straight off the records this year. The tapes have begun breaking (heartache!). Thanks for the fun and the chance to win!

My favorite family tradition is baking with my kids and taking baskets of goodies to church to share with each family. This year will be even more fun with our precious new granddaughter, Talie Joy!
Heading from Memphis to Chicago w/ my family to spend the holidays with both of our families. Cold, snow & family…….memory making at it’s finest.
Going to midnight mass.
Congrats! So thrilled that you
have been blessed with more
orders than you can handle……
Wonderful!

My absolute favorite memories are of my children in Christmas programs and dinner theaters at our church.
Another favorite tradition for our family was getting our Christmas tree. We had an old Victorian home right in downtown. Our family would walk through town, stop at the local diner for breakfast, then continue on to the Christmas tree lot. Here we would pick out our tree, and then carry it home – all five of us in a line carrying the tree. We had to walk all through downtown and past the diner. People would smile, honk & wave. We thought our kids we be too embarassed as they got older, but they never were!

Midnight Mass was a big tradition until we had 4 children, now I enjoy 5:00 Mass Christmas Eve. Plus, just love the decorating. And we recently started a cookie party that the kids have in December with their friends.
The sign is beautiful as is all of your work. I am a huge fan who will be placing an order soon!! I have posted in the past on how I love your decorating. Sounds like all is going well with business and that is wonderful!! Many more blessed wishes,
Deb
Christmas Eve jammies is my most favorite tradition…ever!
Well this is just the most amazing thing ever.
When I was a youngster we used to have to make Tamales dozens and dozens with all the aunties and uncles at our house it was a party, us kids would be put in the assemble line somewhere and at the end of the hours of this labor of love we had a sneak taste of what was to come Christmas Eve.
I love everything about Christmas – the decorations, especially the ones that my daughters have made over the years
My husband and I are both educators and I love having two weeks at home with my whole family!! I love the food and the time that we spend with family and friends 
We always look forward to our family’s cookie bake where everyone from the smalles to grandma & grandpa are assigned jobs and all join in to bake cookies together.
Being together as a family
My favorite tradition is decorating the Christmas Tree. All of my ornaments have special memories for me, so as I hang them up, I am reminded of the special people in my life.
Yay, Christmas is coming!!!
My favorite memories involve family gatherings, annual mistletoe/skeet shooting, hilarious singalongs, paper-tearing, church is all the more magical during the season, JESUS’ birth, cookies, tacky sweaters….can’t wait!! xo
