Christmas is my favourite holiday! mainly because it's the one time that the whole family are together!!
I like Christmas... I know, so obvious, but there's something in the air, near to Venice, where my grandparents lived, on the mountains... I heart it. People that come at the church on midnight walking from near villages and singing and the smell of the buried wood and lights and white vapour coming out of my month... and woods nearby with ancient animals and memoryes of the past Century...
My favorite holiday is Christmas because it's currently the only time of the year I fly back to my homeland and spend quality time with my family whom I miss very much. That and I get to eat a lot of really tasty food. :)
Oh, that's a wonderful giveaway! It's been a while and since the first time i saw your sashiko pincushions i fell in love with them, so classy and sweet.
Well, even loving Christmas, my favorite holiday is Easter.For us in Brazil it's in the beginning of autumn, my favorite season, and it carries many deep and beautiful meanings. Gives me the sense of a new life coming.
Thanks for the nice giveaway:)
Oh wow, great giveaway! Thank you for doing this.
It's hard for me to pick a single favorite holiday; I love all of the ones in the last quarter of the year. (Halloween, Thanksgiving [I'm in the US], Christmas, and New Year's Eve.) I love the smells and food. A little cheer is definitely needed to help counteract the chill and darkness.
My favourite holidays have always been Christmas.. but everything changed completely last year.
So it´s probably Easter for now :)
Oh what a beautiful giveaway, i love your designs and your etsy shop :o)
my favourite holiday is actually easter, i love all of the spring flowers and promise of bright sunlight, oh the chocolate might have a little to do with it!
thank you so much for the chance
love jooles x
Definitely Thanksgiving. Every year my family gather together and we talk,eat(Quite a lot, actually) and laugh. It's a fun, relaxing day, that is always memorable. [=
Thank you for the opportunity!

It has to be Christmas for me - I love it.
Family and friends, excited little ones and all that goes with it. It is a tradition I truly love.

I love Thanksgiving and also Independence Day (July 4). We never do anything really unusual on either of those days, it's just a nice reason for our family to all get together and enjoy each others company.
Thank you for the giveaway, I am quite smitten with your sashiko cushions!
What a beautiful giveaway, I love the blue. My favorite holiday is the summer, by the light and the good weather and you have more time to devote to you. A big kiss and good luck for me.
My favorite holiday is Christmas because not only is the snow beautiful but people remember what its like to go back to your roots.
Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday. All that pie and turkey and family :)
Ooh it's hard to pick between Easter and Christmas!
When it's Easter I love running around the garden in the autumn leaves with my younger sisters looking for eggs (and then spending all day eating them!), and when it's Christmas I love to sit under the tree and open presents with my family. And the Christmas lunch is always a highlight too!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Favorite holiday? DEFINITELY CHRISTMAS!!! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
My favorite holiday is Halloween. I love fall and the colors and the smells. But when it is over i remember how much I love Christmas time. So it then end I think it is a tie, it just depends on the time of the year!

oh, what a wonderful giveaway! i would be happy to receive one of your beautiful pincusions!
i think Christmas is my favourite; i love the spirit of it, and the Advent weeks before, when there is lots of preparation, joy and hapinnes, especially for kids.
have a lovely weekend!

My favorite holiday is Halloween. I love everything about it: the costumes, haunted houses, scary movies, candy, happy kids. It's perfect!

Here in Spain there are a lot of holidays in different places, but there are not many holidays we celebrate in the hole country, only Christmas and Easter, and summer holidays, of course, but this one we do not "celebrate". I like Christmas because we celebrate it with the hole family, even aunts, uncles, cousisns, and I love to sit on a table with all of them and enjoy some time together. But my favourite holiday is the summer.
Thanks for the giveaway, your pincushions are soo nice!
Carissima, i tuoi cuscinetti puntaspilli sono un vero amore, come potrei perdere l'occasione di averne uno? La mia festa preferita? Natale naturalmente!! Lo aspetto tutto l'anno e niente mi deprime di più che la fine delle feste a gennaio..
Un bacione

My favorite holiday?....mmm I'm thinking about..... BUT CHRISTMAS of course!!!! :)

Christmas is absolutely my favorite holiday. I love the lights, the tree and the preparation of the Christmas lunch.
Thank you for the giveaway, I love all your creations.

what pretty pincushions! I would have to say my favorite holiday is fall... I remember as a little girl walking to and from school with my sister hand in hand and we loved playing in the leaves!!
Well, this might sound weird, but if I'm honest then my favorite annual celebration is my birthday. It's my favorite because there are no expectations to meet, no particular decorations required, the menu is up to me and no one argues over it.
But if you want to know about a holiday I enjoy that is more recognized, then I choose Christmas, but it comes with a lot of stress too, hence my other choice.
My favorite holiday is Christmas - nothing beats the holiday gathering and sitting around the fireplace!
Christmas is my favorite. I get to see my family reunited; eat yummy food and play like a kid with my kid.
I don't have my favorite holiday I love them all as long as my whole family comes togerher :)
What a brilliant giveaway! Whilst I do love christmas, I am a huge fan of easter, I love spring and the fresh colours, and chocolate eggs!
thanks for the beautiful giveaway =)
my favorite holidays for so many years , were easter !I was in the south of france to a dearest friend of mine ,spending a wonderful week visiting the area and having fun!
lots of "souvenirs"
now may christmas will bring some goodies for all of you
good luck for everyone =)
It might sound like a cliché but my fave holiday is Christmas :)
My favourite holiday is definitely Christmas as we get to spend more time together as a family.
My ULTIMATE FAVOURITE holiday has to be Christmas...as we get to see ALL my family who I haven't seen for a whole year!
I haven't even met my little nephew yet...and he's almost a year!
It's a very special time of year...with many Scandinavian traditions...
This would be an incredible prize to win.
I adore all your work K!
HUGS and THANKS

what a lovely giveaway!!
my favorite holiday is "día de muertos", mexican day of the death, that is a day full of color, music, food to celebreate loved people who aren't with us anymore...
thanks for this wonderful oportunity!
Christmas, because here in Australia it is summer, but most importantly its MANGO & LYCHEE season! Yum there's nothing quite like floating on a lilo in the creek eating cold mangoes with a bunch of kids.Pure fruity indulgence!
your blog is so cute! and these pincushions. :)
my favorite holiday is christmas and i love the love that is so heavy in the air and the warmth of everything, hearts included. :)
xo!
My favourite holiday is Christmas, because we spend time with our family then.
Thanks for this chance in your lovely give away!

New Year's Day. After the party mess has been cleaned up and you recover from a night of dancing and laughing, there's this moment of silence and preparedness in the early evening that makes you feel like you can conquer the coming year. I love that moment.
then you eat some cabbage for good luck and relax and begin again.
I love Thanksgiving, but it's followed very closely by Christmas because the whole family gets together. Thanks for the giveaway, I love your mosaics and beautiful handmade goodies!
How sweet are you?? I love Thanksgiving. Here in the US it's very traditional to make a turkey, which I like to do even though it can be quite a pain. I've found my tricks after a few turkeys (brine overnight, then turn the turkey every 45 minutes while cooking), but it just seems kinda silly to work that hard when a steak is so much more delicious and way less hassle. What can I say? Tradition trumps all! :)
Hi, I don´t like christmas. Everybody is in a hurry to find the perfect gift. The only positive thing is, that the whole family comes together from far away. My favorite holiday is easter cause of the spring flowers and bright sunlight :)
Very nice giveaway!
My favourite holiday is Christmas. And if there is snow outside, the effect is complete. We usually gather at my parent's place, unwrapp the gifts, sit around the fireplace and talk, eat wonderful food and cakes and after the lunch we head outside to make the snowman and enjoy the snow. Oh I just love it and enjoy seeing my daughter love it too. Love, Ivana.
Wonderful giveaway for my favourite holiday....absolutely Christmas!!!!
Thank you :-)

What a lovely pincushion!
My favourit holiday is summer holidays. It's warm outside and there are so many places to go. Feeling sun on my face while sitting outside sipping on an iced coffee... What can be possibly better?
Ohhh I love those pin cushions. and I love love love Christmas...
I actually love them all but I really enjoy the 4th of July. My brother's home looks right out over the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty! We can see the NY fireworks there. It's great. And, what's not to love about celebrating the United States!
Thanks for the giveaway - I love your work.

I love Christmas most of all....everyone is home snuggled in by the fire, snow gently falling outside, lots of yummy Christmas cookies to eat, a beautiful tree with the smell of Christmas, and lots and lots of candle light!
I LOVE these.
My favorite holiday is probably Christmas- I love everything it embodies.
But my favorite season is autumn. :-)
