<\/p>\nHi there friends! Busy, busy days over here. Hosted a fun holiday luncheon yesterday and now that that is behind me,\u00a0 today and tomorrow are devoted to finishing up my gift buying. I am only getting 1-2 gifts for each person this year. Trying to make them meaningful gifts (a challenge) but have set Sat as my own personal deadline to be done. Of course, buying for Phillip is the most fun part! Let’s hope I stick with my deadline:)<\/p>\n
One of my funniest memories is when my kids were young, my mom and I poured over my list to make sure we had bought “equal” numbers of things for each one of them. Later that night, I had to run to Walgreens to pick up something and out of desperation was eyeing a chia pet as a last little gift for one of them. We laughed so hard, I still laugh at the memory…that was where I drew the line! Let’s hope there are no chia pet moments this year:)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One thing that brings calms me and gives me such pleasure is hosting our annual Holiday Love contest! I so look forward to holding this fun contest all year long and it prolongs the beautiful season of Christmas just a little longer.<\/p>\n
I know many of you have decked your halls, had your Santa pictures taken, trimmed your tree(s) maybe even dressed up your pet to welcome this magical season. We are now taking your photos for our annual Holiday Love contest for 2024.\u00a0 It is so much fun to get in all of your beautiful pictures.<\/p>\n
Some ideas for pictures are- your front door all decked out in its holiday finest, your kids dressed up to see Santa, a beautifully set holiday table, nature during the holidays, your Christmas tree all lit up, maybe a favorite pet who loves the holidays. As long as it\u2019s related to the holidays, your picture(s) are welcome!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
Please read over the rules prior to\u00a0 submitting your 1-2 holiday entries-<\/strong><\/p>\n I always like to share some entries from previous contests that exemplify a “good picture”. These are clear and most are taken in natural daylight. These should be used as a benchmark not so much for the subject but for the clarity, size and crispness of the picture.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cannot wait to start getting in your pictures, always a fun highlight for the holiday season and a chance for me to slow down and put the contest together while getting to enjoy all of your expressions of the holidays.\u00a0 So don’t forget to send in a favorite holiday picture or two to info@enchantedhome.com.<\/p>\n Thanks for stopping in, stay calm and jingle on! Until next time..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hi there friends! Busy, busy days over here.
