Join me in creating a wonderful Christmas Book at StudioBlueMoonOnline.com! This book is designed to take the stress out of the Christmas daily journaling. You will have time to scrap, enjoy a cup of hot cocoa and capture memories in a beautiful journal.
Don’t miss this class called ‘The Christmas Book’ – here!
‘Christmas is just around the corner and we are getting ready for the festivities, writing down ideas, wish lists, recipes and more. I personally have lots and lots of little papers and sticky notes sitting around during this busy time – half of them get lost in the chaos… I end up getting frustrated and of course, that is not the goal of the season!
The December Dailies or Christmas Journals that I commit myself to each year don’t get filled (other then the first three or four days) and once Christmas Eve has passed I regret not having captured more memories…
This made me think. I brainstormed for a good resolution and then it hit me! I don’t want a journal that makes me feel I need to do something every single day, I need something entirely different. I want to prepare a book before Christmas and then I want to enjoy and capture the season with my camera and maybe a few journal posts. That’s it! No pressure to create a page every single day, but the fun and joy that this season brings to us.
So this class is not going to make your already busy life even busier, but it will help you to organize, enjoy and capture the most wonderful time of the year in a simple way.
My hope is for you to be able to let go of the idea of committing yourself to a December Daily to be able to capture your life during Christmas. I want you to step out of the box and explore a new system that will help you to relax and enjoy the season with your family and friends

One of my favorite Christmas memories is being with my family and extended family at my grandparents house. They always had a huge gorgeous tree, a roaring fire and the most delicious food, including the best desserts, favorites cheesecake and chocolate pie. After dinner we would open our gifts, while someone took pictures, paper flying and the sounds of laughter from the children and adults alike. We would then all gather together and sing Christmas carols. On our way home we would drive around the neighborhoods looking at all the beautiful houses with their enchanting Christmas lights. When we arrived home it was off to bed for my younger brother and I and we could not contain our excitement of the anticipation of the morning after Santa had come to visit.
Choosing the Christmas tree. We always went to the same small but popular lot and it was usually snowing. I don’t miss that snow these days..lol
One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting under the tree amongst all the torn off wrapping paper playing with a beautiful doll and my new pink kitchen set.
My favorite Christmas memory is seeing Santa peep around corners in doorways in our house. My mom and dad kept a Santa mask hidden and would work as a team,distract us and the other would put on the mask and for a split second pop around the doorway of the room we were in!! I didn’t find the mask til I was in my teens!!! It was soooo much fun!!! We were soooo good at Christmas!!!!
Loved being so excited I couldn’t sleep on Christmas Eve; then tiptoeing around the house with a flashlight to find all the surprises
In the California valley their isn’t much snow. So instead I wish for a healthy and happy Christmas with all of our Family together for the holiday.
It sounds funny to say this when i’m in my 40″s but one of my best memories of Christmas is when i was about 6 and Santa brought me a Barbie Townhouse, her convertible Corvette, AND her swimimng pool on Christmas morning
I remember just laying on the floor for hours that day playing Barbies with my mom.
My best Christmas memory is of the year “Santa” brought me art supplies instead of toys. I was so disappointed, I pouted for days. But then I started trying them out. Those presents set me on a lifelong journey and have brought endless joy. How did my mother ever know? God bless her.
my favorite childhood memory is the silver metal christmas tree that my grandparents had…it had a rotating light that changed the silver stems different colors…it was amazing!
My favorite Christmas memory as a child is when I opened my mom and dad’s bedroom door and saw a big blanket covering all of the gifts they had bought for me and my siblings for Christmas. Oh the excitement!
I remember the year I had earned enough money babysitting throughout the year to use my own money to buy Christmas presents for my family. I went shopping by myself at our Ben Franklin store and although it was 50 years ago I still remember what I bought everyone and the pure joy I felt when they loved what I got them. That was also the year I got to wrap the Santa gifts for my little sisters. There was an old si-fi movie on the TV and to this day I play si-fi movies when I wrap presents for Christmas!

My favorite childhood memory involves Christmas, no less. At the time, we lived with my grandparents. My favorite memory is waking up one Christmas morning and finding Santa’s elves footprints all over the fireplace hearth. Were we excited! The elves had been to our house and actually left footprints! My sisters and I were beside ourselves talking about that all day long. When our cousins heard about it, boy were they upset! No footprints at their house. Years later we found out my grandfather had made stencils and used ashes to make those footprints for us. We still talk about it to this day and share it with our grown children.
I live in Norway and we do celebrate christmas evning (the 24th), this is when we open our presents. And my best memories is how we could just stay at home the 25th and play with all our presents and have a great dinner. One year I got a small cash register and I just played that I owned a store the hole day so I could get paid and use my cash register. That is my dearest childhood memorie as for christmas.
What a fantastic giveaway. The class looks like such fun. My fav childhood Christmas memory is making candy cane cookies every year and taking them for our school parties.
I remember when I was about 6 and my godmother bought me my first purse!! Oh the joy I felt! That was about 54 years ago! I love Christmas with family and friends… the food!! Can’t wait for turkey!
My favorite Christmas memory is my earliest memory. We had just moved to Montana a few months before. We had a fireplace at this house and I was so excited Santa wouldn’t have to break in the house to deliver presents as my Dad had told me before.
I woke early to see a wonder of snow had blanketed my little house on the corner. It was magical and there was more magic to behold. I went to wake my brother and ran to the tree. There in front of the fireplace was a trail of magical snow prints all around the tree, where every gift from Santa had been placed. I couldn’t wait to show my friends. We had every kid in the neighborhood in the house that Christmas morning until magically the footprints of magic snow had melted. Every year after that until I left home at age 18 Santa left his footprints just for me.
Sipping eggnog in front of the fire.
Your class sounds absolutly wonderful! My fave Christmas childhood memory is playing with our new toys after opening all the gifts. That magical moment of playing with something brand new!
My favorite memory is the year my Dad built me a dollhouse. I could hear him working on something for weeks, but he kept it locked up so I wouldn’t see it before Christmas. I was so surprised when I finally saw it, and it was the BEST gift ever!
One of my favorite Christmas memories as a child was singing at midnight mass as part of a children’s choir. It was one of the most exciting, exhilerating and happy events I’d ever participated in. I love Christmas music and I am so thankful to have been able to sing in the choir.
My favorite memory was when me and my father were at home and he said I could open one gift the day before Christmas so I picked one and sat it down as soon as I did it talked it said “lets go for a drive” it was a pink barbie dashboard and steering wheel. We laughed so hard!
My favorite memory.. I was very young and I had an idea of how to catch santa Claus in the act.I hid a video camera in our Christmas tree I hurried to bed and the next morning I rushed to the camera in the tree and what did I find…. there was a Santa hat covering the camera with a note that said “nice try”
I still laugh about it to this day.
My favorite christmas memory…. My dad always took me and my brother out for a big walk in the forest just before the santa claus was coming to our house… we would come back all exited, seeing if he was already there… then we had to wait another minute upstairs, my mom said he wasnt there yet… i was already afraid he forgot about us! but then all of a sudden – a loud knock on the door (we still had to wait upstairs…) and a minute later we rushed down the stairs where we would find all our presents underneath the christmas tree… and santas footsteps outside in the snow
When I was little we used to go to our friends house in Washington for either Thanksgiving or christmas. I loved going up there at Christmas! My “Auntie” always had a white flocked tree with colored ornaments(I remember once they were pink!!!) We always had a green tree so this was a really gig deal.
My favorite christmas memory would have to be sledding when i was little. I would always bother my mom to drive me to a friends house that was only a couple minutes away. The three of us would make ramps off her back porch and all of us would squeeze onto one sled and all fly off together. I also remember sledding into a tree!
But you cant forget the usual christmas favorites: picking out the tree, baking cookies, and enjoying the same favorite movies with the family.
I asked Santa for anything Barbie one year and I received everything, house and all. I could not believe it and played with all of my goodies for years. It was the best holiday ever.
One christmas my husband wrapped up old clothes and put into presents. I kept opening packages of my clothes. The last present was a scrapbooking page that had pockets on it..(he made it all by his self) and it was so so sloppy! lol
Inside the pockets were gift cards to all of my favorite stores.
Every time I think of him making that pocket page I smile..:o)
Eating all my Mom’s wonderful cooking, and playing outside in the snow past dark!
My Grandad built a replica of his house with a roof that lifted off. All year, he would collect secret little presents for everyone, wrap them himself and put them in ‘The house’. On Boxing Day all the family would go for a walk round the local reservoir then go back to Nana and Grandad’s for tea when we would open ‘The house’. Somehow that small gift, chosen by him and wrapped in ordinary paper with far too much sellotape, was much more special than all the presents we got the day before.
My favourite childhood christmas memory? There are a lot. E.g. i loooooved it when my parents used a bell for us to come downstairs. We were soooo excited and when me and my sister and brothers came down they said “oh sorry you just missed Santa!”.
Thanks for the great chance
My favorite memory from Christmas when I was a child was spending Christmas Day with my whole family, just being together, opening gifts, the fabulous food, and most importantly still believing in Santa!
My favorite Christmas memory was when we would have big family parties in the afternoon that lasted into the wee hours of the next day. My brother & I would get up Christmas morning and open our gifts and spend a few hours playing with them. After Church, my mom would start cooking and my Dad would play his favorite Spanish songs. Then my aunts & Uncles would all come over with my cousins. My cousins, brother & I would play with our toys, watch tv and eat while the adults ate, drank, and danced the night away. I loved those Christmas parties. I still play those Spanish songs in my house on Christmas Day.
Actually never celebrated Christmas at home, but because all my friends and teachers celebrated it I loved giving them presents during Christmas time. My favorite memory would have to be in 8th grade when I came to US and I gave my home room teacher a Christmas present she actually gave me a hug and had tears in her eyes.
My favorite Christmas memory was going to friends houses and carolling, eating, decorating, then we would all leave and go to another friend’s or neighbor’s house and we would do this all night long….
we lived in Puerto Rico and it was so much fun!!
My favorite childhood memory would be of my father decorating the house. Let’s just say he wasn’t the “handiest” of men. He would run streamers in a giant X across the living room and hang ornaments on them. They would hang so low you had to duck your head to walk around. He would always hang (more like zig zag) Christmas lights outside. He was so happy with himself because he would put a blinking light in my window. I would have to pretend to like it even though it kept me up many nights! My dad is in now decorating in Heaven and Jesus is probably ducking in the clouds!!!
One of my Most Memorable Memories is what we called Our Santa Trip. My Sister and I would get dropped off at our Grandparents house early in the morning always a few days before Christmas. Our Grandparents would then take us on the Train into London where we would go to Harrods and see the wonderfully huge Christmas Tree with what seemed like Thousands of Decorations and lights.Then we would join many other children in the queue for Santa’s grotto. After we had told the Biggest jolliest Santa I ever remember and had received a gift we would then go to the Cafeteria for a Morning Cream Tea. (Still the hugest Scones) I remember, and there we would be allowed to open our gift which would usually keep us happy for the whole trip back home. (Oh the Memories)…. Thanks for a chance to win your Awesome looking Class.
Cheers…
