Holiday Scarf Giveaway!

Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. But, I just don't feel the magic of the holidays quite like I used to. Is it still possible to get all fluttery with holiday joy? What do you do to get yourself in the holiday spirit? Is there a special decoration you like to make, a certain holiday soundtrack you listen to, a favorite hot chocolate recipe you sip? Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Comment on this post for the chance to win this holiday scarf made of oh so soft olive fabric with some festive sparkle. I'll randomly pick a winner tomorrow. I look forward to all of your holiday spirit suggestions.

Be sure to check out all the other giveaways going on today via Sew Mama Sew!

That scarf is beautiful! You didn't mention if you will ship everywhere or not - I'm in France - hope that's ok! If I win that is!

Trinity said...

To get in the Christmas spirit, I usually put on cheesy music (check out www.northpoleradio.com) and make some yummy redbush Christmas tea to sip on while crafting. I hope that helps!!

The scarf is gorgeous! Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

Krissy said...

Oh pretty scarf!!

I think for me .. its decorating the christmas tree .. it seems to be such an awesome event!

Miss Crafty said...

Listening to christmas carols while at my future in-laws home helping them put up their tree and hearing about where all the decorations came from and seeing the ones my fiance made as a kid. Awwww.

Art Nest said...

It always feels like Christmas time when we light up the fireplace for the first time!

I love to craft with my kids!
That making for others always
puts me in the mood and it is
also fun to see the kids decide
what they want to give to others!
If you dont have kids ...then
borrow someones...babyset. Then
craft with them. Ask them what
they would make for others. Their
excitement is contagous!
I hope you catch the holiday bug!
Rane and kids!

Elvis's "Merry Christmas Baby" gets me in the holiday spirit--it's a little more grownup (and a little sassy)than than rudolph or frosty.

Jennifer said...

The scarf is gorgeous and would go oh so nicely with my new Christmas dress.

To get in the holiday mood I listen to Ella Fitzgerald singing Christmas songs. :)

Beautiful scarf!

As for getting in the holiday spirit, I get in some comfy clothes, make myself some tea or cocoa, and put on some nice music. Have you heard Sufjan Stevens' holiday CDs? They are lovely and not at all annoying!

Robyn said...

I like to tune into the all holiday all the time chanel in my car and sing at the top of my lungs!! :)

Snow more then anything puts me in a Christmas spirit but failing that putting the tree up. There is just something special about sitting in a room with just the glow of the tree.

I need to put away my fall decorations, tommorow is my daughters b'day. The 5th we put our shoes out so St Nick will meave cany, nuts or stick if you were bad. (My other daughter was born in Germany, so we do this for her)Now we decorate!!!

Kitten said...

I'm a holiday FREAK. Once Thanksgiving comes around, I'm so thrilled. On Thanksgiving day, we play Christmas music after dinner to prep. Then, it's simple things for a few days like start some nice fires in our fireplace and drink some hot chocolate near them. Put the Christmas flannel sheets we have on our bed. Stare at Christmas lights popping up in our neighborhood. Hope the holiday spirit gets you soon. :)

I drink hot cocoa and make things. I grew up with white Christmases, and now we live somewhere with little snow. So, I'll take a quick trip up to the mountains and get a snow fix to jumpstart the mood.

Happy Holidays!

I do a childs advent reading to start preparing for Christmas. I collect Christmas tunes & play those almost non-stop. It hlps imo to see x-mas through the eyes of a child. They capture the wonder & joy of the season.

I love that scarf. I think music and decorations helps to get the holiday cheer going. Even baking holiday desserts for the smells.

I just put up the tree and live with the twinkling lights on.

beautiful scrf. mentioning cookie making made me hungry.

For me it's always a surprising moment that feels Christmasy. If I try to orchestrate it too much it never works.

UK lass in US said...

It's harder work since moving to California, where the weather seems very un-Christmaslike, but I put up the decorations at the start of Advent and annoy my family with bad renditions of carols and White Christmas all month long...

Liz said...

So beautiful!

I get into the holiday spirit my lighting my christmasy scented candle, lighting up the tree, putting on holiday music and sipping hot cocoa. (all together is best:). Oh...and we read a different Christmas story together as a family every night.

Autumn said...

I get into the holiday spirit by listening to Christmas music, and baking Christmas cookies!

adrienne said...

To get myself in the Xmas spirit, I pull out the old Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton Christmas on vinyl and crank it up. Just like being a kid!

Sewing, knitting or otherwise crafting a gift for someone gets me in the spirit. Your scarf is lovely.

having a car picnic is a great holiday cheer-er! when it's too cold to have a real picnic, pack up a yummy lunch and drive to a nice spot, park, and eat!! best if followed by a vigorous walk in the cold!! be sure to bring a thermos of hot tea or hot chocolate for after walk!!

Crafting with the kids, Christmas music playing all day long, and baking!

my grandmother's woolworth's santa and his reindeer snow globe music box is a holiday must! :)

Camellia said...

I love to make cookies and gingerbread loaf houses, that really gets me in the spirit. Not to mention I craft all my gifts. Hehe.. Please include me in your give-away. Thank you. :D

Lee said...

Christmas is generally full of stress and weird family politics for me -- it's been a while since I've really enjoyed the holiday. However, the day my partner and I go pick a tree and time spent decorating it and our house are very special. That feels more like Christmas than the racing around.

jacquie said...

this is beautiful! happy holidays to you! christmas music puts me in the spirit (i love the spirit) and decorating brings me joy! I love to be surrounded by little things that remind me of giving, of love, of the birth of jesus.

For as long I can remember singing in church at Christmas has been a must but I've recently moved to Italy so I won't get to do that this year...

Amy said...

What a beautiful scarf! My kids put me in the Christmas spirit and the Christmas music from when I was little.

Shooting Stars Mag said...

How pretty. I looks so comfy too.

My mom loves to listen to christmas music, and I must say some songs really make me ready for the holidays. Looking at all the lights is awesome, and baking cookies!!

Lots of Bing Cosby and Elvis christmas listening and watch and re-watch any and all cheesey or good Chrismas movies!! That's what I do! and I never get sick of it!(till Like February.)

CalvaryGirl said...

I love riding down the road listening to Christmas music with the kids while looking at people's lights on their houses. It's also important for our Christmas spirit to attend our church's Cantada, and the children's Christmas play :o) The scarf is beautiful! I can be reached at clwendy at yahoo dot com .

Music always gets me in the spirit!

fioretta said...

That is a beautiful scarf, and green is one of my favorite colors. Great giveaway!

For me what always puts me in the Christmas mindset is watching the movie Elf (with Will Ferrell). My husband's family has taken to watching it on Thanksgiving now - we love that movie!

I start listening to christmas music super early - it always gets me in the spirit!

Jenny said...

There's no better way to get in the holiday spirit than to do something nice for someone else. Shop at thehungersite.com instead of at the big box stores. "Adopt" a needy child for Christmas, or simply do your holiday shopping on Etsy. My husband and I even went to an alternative gift fair where you donate in someone's name as a gift. For my brother, we donated two teddy bears for abused children who would have to go through scary forensic exams. I know he will love that, unlike any of the junk we've bought him in the past :-) We blew a ton of money at Wal-Mart last year and ended up with an empty feeling. This year I have shopped where I feel my business is deeply appreciated and needed, and I haven't had a happier Christmas since I was a kid!

Sorry that was so long... Lovely scarf!

Okay--here's the recipe: make yourself a hot cup of peppermint cocoa and snuggle into your favorite chair. Play a little Bing Crosby while you're at it. And enjoy!

Celeste has the right idea--Bing Crosby is the magical voice of Christmas! :)

I am a lover of all Christmas music, and when I'm just looking for some instrumental background music I pull out my Celtic Christmas CD. The melodies are beautiful, and it keeps me creative.

Heather said...

I love going to the Birmingham German Christmas Markets, wrapping up warm and looking at all the lovely market stalls,enjoying hot chocolate with heaps of cream & bratwurst!

Charlie Brown Christmas alwasy does it for me and a Christmas Story that no one will let me watch in their prescence anymore. I guess 24 hours of a Christmas Story is too much.

To get in the Christmas mood I open a bottle of champagne, start going through my holiday cookbooks, and listen to Christmas music. Then I unpack my Santa collection of over 350 merry men.

Lisa said...

Holiday spirit doesn't come easily to me, either. My folks divorced at Christmastime (30 years ago) and it put a damper on the season that I've never been able to shake.

However, it does seem more enjoyable now that I have a little one of my own. I can get caught up making it special for him.

Gorgeous scarf.

Super pretty scarf.

Whenever I get holiday blah, I try to get out of my own little circle. Volunteering or getting a name from a kids angel tree usually helps me remember the warm fuzzy bits.

Mare said...

I know just what you mean. I try to get into the holiday spirit by not getting caught up in the rush and fury of shopping or the commercialism. I try to take some time to do something you can only do at Christmas time like cruise around different towns and look at the lights on the houses or drink lots of eggnog. :)

My mother was not in the holiday spirit at all last year. It was sad to see her that way and I know she was sad, as she used to love the holidays. We went on a bus tour that involved a surprise trip to see animated Christmas lights. She ended up standing in the back of the bus, looking at the lights and singing Christmas songs. I was glad she found her holiday spirit.

Another thing that I've found, you can't force yourself to be happy, just go with the flow and it will come. :)

Best wishes,

Your scarf is lovely!!
To get in the Christmas Spirit we light up the Christmas tree and make lots of goodies around here: homemade marshmallows, caramels, fudge, cookies, gingerbread, etc. Nothing like the smell of tasty treats to perk you right up! And something about cooking while you can see the tree in the other room and hear carols ringing just makes me feel festive!

Well - I'm doing daily posts filled with Christmas fun during Advent over at my blog so if you want a ton of suggestions you can check there!

I have to say that some of my favorite things are, making gifts for people while listening to carols (especially any and all Bing Crosby carols, this is a MUST). Also - I keep the December issues and special Christmas issues of my favorite magazines in one spot, and I drag out the stack year after year and flick through them for inspiration for things to make/do/bake, etc.

I love the scarf. It's Christmas-y in a classy way!

To get in the spirit, I have my husband put up the ouside lights/decorations while I do most of the indoor decorating and that evening, all the Christmas lights are lit. I turn down our house lights and bask in the coziness of the holiday lights. By the way, i love that scarf!

I don't let negativity to me. Life is too short. It is! I have my ups and downs, but the holidays cheer me up. I like the SIMPLICITY of things.... the scent of real pine, decorating the Xmas tree, baking, sending cards & recipes and doing playing Santa Paws at our Boxer Rescue kennel where our dogs were rescued. The dogs wait for their forever homes and we like to bring bags of dog food, treats, and chew toys for them! We did it last year and it's out tradition. We bring our dogs with us. A great trip too!

Wow, the scarf is gorgeous! Now that I live in Georgia it's a little harder to get in the holiday spirit. No snow, no cold weather, etc. But listening to our Christmas CDs and baking gets me every time.

Ooh, I just love scarves! Whenever I'm not quite in the holiday mood, I have to make some cute little christmas treat and give it to someone. That helps right away!
