My husband and I were married for 33 years. Starting with our first Christmas together, we would purchase a collectible ornament to gift to the other. When we would put up our tree, we would exchange ornaments. Each year we would get to relive all the happy memories as we put up the tree. I lost him this year to cancer but I still have all our memories to experience again through our many ornaments.
My favorite thing about Christmas is knowing that Jesus is the reason for the season and cooking for my children and their families … I also enjoy the Hallmark Christmas movies … your Nutcracker ornaments are so pretty and I love the way you finished them … until next time Happy Stitching 🧵 … 😊❤ Dena
My favorite Christmas holiday tradition happens on Christmas Eve! Every year we invite all of our 14 children and their families to our home. We have a great dinner and a lot of different treats. We exchange gifts. It's a very happy day. Then at 11 P.M. we attend candlelight service at our church. A wonderful and full day!
These are adorable as usual. My favorite tradition is that when my grandchildren were born, I got them an ornament for Christmas. The idea was so they would have 18 ornaments when they moved out on their own. They have all kept their ornaments at their mother's house. So each year she puts up a tree just for them and we get together for them to add their ornaments to the tree and then they decorate Christmas cookies. The baby is now 20 but we still enjoy this tradition.
My favorite Christmas tradition is listening to Christmas carols as I decorate my house and tree and thinking about memories associated to the decorations. 🎄
I'm not sure if I have a favorite Christmas tradition. I love sitting in front of the tree with just the tree lights on and enjoying the peace and quiet for just a little while and thinking how grateful I am for so many things.
My favorite holiday tradition is watching the old classics (Santa claus is coming to town, Frosty, Rudolf etc.) in the few weeks leading up to Christmas, and then we watch polar Express on Christmas Eve. Thanks for all you do.
My favorite Christmas tradition as an adult is spending an evening with my mom and decorating her tree together. She always has homemade hot chocolate and we have Christmas movies playing in the background. I will always have those lovely memories.
My favorite tradition is watching christmas movies and shows with my grandchildren. Every year we have a different theme. Enjoying the small things that are really big things.
I love the new ornament collection!! It is so cute! My favorite Christmas holiday tradition is hanging the advent calendar that my grandmother made! Growing up, we only had the one advent calendar; but after my grandmother passed away, my sister and I found another one exactly the same in her belongings!! Now we both have one! They are cherished and such a sweet memory of our beloved grandmother!!!
Our favorite Christmas traditions is watching The Grinch on Christmas Eve and then having our kids and granddaughters over Christmas morning for breakfast and presents. Thank you for sharing your adorable Christmas ornaments.

My Husband and I always pick 1 very special Christmas show or concert to go to during the Christmas Season. We dress up and have a nice dinner. Been doing this for 35 years and still enjoy it. Love your ornaments ❤
My favorite tradition is giving gifts to my family. I love making gifts especially, but also buying something I know is needed or wanted. I have two 5 year old granddaughters and a soon to be 1 year old and they bring so much excitement to our gatherings. The ornaments and the finishing is so perfect. ❤
Fav tradition, walk down to neighbors, sing carols, then walk to our horses and put Santa hats on them and take pictures together! So fun, and funny! Of course the cats and dog follow too!
My favorite tradition is sewing, quilting, and crafting ornaments each year! My daughter and I usually use felt to make them! We've made grinches, minions, high heel shoes, and much more! I love these that you've made, they are so cute!
In 1992 I started working in Washington DC and I heard there was Annual Whitehouse Christmas ornament, which I started collecting . I am retired now, and live in another state but continue the tradition. This years ornament is in honor of Jimmy Carter. The kits are wonderful, love this idea of a new kit each year. Your tree is beautiful .

Favorite Christmas tradition for us, having the whole family (grandparents) sleep over on Christmas Eve , even though my kids are all grown up now. It’s so nice to all wake up together and enjoy coffee by the tree and exchange our gifts ❤
I enjoy making family and friends some kind of ornament each year. When my daughter was in junior high, she bought me a plastic wreath from Walmart so every year when I make an ornament, I put it on this wreath and display it in my sewing room.
The ornaments are beautiful! We get together on Christmas Eve so our 2 daughter's families can spend Christmas morning together. We love to sing the 12 days of Christmas every year and dissolve into laughter as everyone misses their turn!!!
These ornaments are beautiful, Erica! My favorite tradition is ever year we round up whoever wants to go and we go see our local rendition of the Nutcracker. It's in our old-timey opera house and it's just so perfect! We all just love it!
Beautiful ornaments. My daughter used to dance the Nutcracker every year. So those ornaments are special to me. It brings me back the memories of when she used to dance. One of my traditions used to be going to see her dance. Another tradition is to make all my Christmas cards and the new traditions is having an ornament that represents each member of the family and friends. And as they come to visit each person will place their ornament in a designated tree.
My favorite holiday tradition is making gingerbread cookies. Then, waking up on Christmas morning and eating them and drinking hot chocolate with my family while we listen to Christmas music.
I love these! My favorite holiday tradition is getting out the ornaments and letting the kids decorate the tree however they want to. Sometimes that means a few ornaments on the same branch but the kids are always so proud afterwards.
My family's favorite tradition is attending Christmas Eve service, having dinner together, and watching Elf & It's a Wonderful Life (with popcorn, hot cocoa, & Christmas cookies of course).
For the last 22 years I have given my Grandkids an ornament at Halloween in stead of candy. I have 7 grandkids ages from 22 to 8. Love picking out one that fit their interest. These are so cute and would be cute to give them. You are so talented, love watching youe videos.
Our favorite tradition is baking Christmas cookies. Each year we must make Spritz cookies with my mom's handcrank cookie press. Even the adult granddaughters love it. This year it's time to involve our 3 year old great granddaughter.
Our family tradition is to make or buy an ornament every year. My 4 kids have their own ornament box that each have collected since their 1st Christmas! I had to help the 1st couple of years of course, but now that they are teenagers, they can choose for themselves. It is so much fun when each of them opens and hangs their ornaments on the tree. Beautiful design on these Erica!
My favorite Christmas tradition is driving around looking at Christmas lights with my family. I also really love having all of us together in our home on Christmas morning.
My favorite Christmas tradition is making popcorn and cranberry garland that we use to decorate with. We also cut snowflakes out of white paper to hang from the ceiling of our family room. These are things my Dad did with me when I was as little that I continued with my children and now my grandchild. Special memories.
What a sweet set of ornaments! My favorite holiday tradition is baking with my grandchildren. It's a full day and sometimes overnight chock full of crafts and decorating along with the cookies!
These ornaments are sooo cute! My favorite Christmas tradition is making Christmas cookies with my granddaughter. She has always enjoyed making cookies with me since she was very very young. We have so much fun and listen to Christmas carols.
My youngest granddaughter is 3 years old and loves the Nutcracker. I'll be making these for her. Too cute! Our family gathers on Christmas eve to celebrate. Love watching your bloopers too. Thanks for sharing your gift with us all. Have a super blessed week.
I love these sweet ornaments! My favorite holiday tradition is to fill my children’s stockings. They are in their 30’s now and the stockings are the first thing they go to when they come to my home on Christmas morning.
My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating my entire house while listening to Christmas Carols the weekend after Thanksgiving! Love all your designs!
My favorite Christmas tradition is putting up my tree on Nov 1 while watching Grinch (2018 version). Then the week before Christmas getting in our jammies to drive around looking at Christmas lights and eating popcorn 😋.
We have lots of fun Christmas traditions. I have 7 children, I always give them an ornament at Thanksgiving so when they get out on their own they have their Christmas tree started. This year I want to give them homemade cross stitched ornaments. I’ve got to get busy, LOL. LOVE❤ this nutcracker theme. So cute❤
My favorite Christmas tradition is on Christmae Eve as soon as it's dark, pile in the car, and Christmas music, then drive around looking at the lights.
These ornaments are precious! My favorite Christmas tradition was Christmas Eve dinner with family followed by Christmas Eve service where my dad always sang Sweet Little Jesus Boy.
Such cute ornaments! Love pink for Christmas 🎅🏻 Our favorite holiday tradition is baking all different cookies and putting cookie trays together to share.
My tradition for Christmas is baking one particular Italian spice cookie every year. Since I was a little girl we've always had them at Christmas. It's a favorite of mine and of my siblings. I love your little ornaments and especially your finishing
Hi, Erica! You are so generous with all of your give-always! I enjoy making homemade ornaments, opening Advent calendars, going to Christmas Mass, and getting together with family and friends. And fruitcake 😅
My favorite Christmas tradition growing up was decorating the tree with my sister. Ornaments were made and added over the years--so many memories and just magic when lit up! Enjoyed stitching and gifting the 12 Days of Stitchy Ornaments last year. The Nutcracker theme is super cute, too!
So cute! Love these! My favorite Christmas tradition is opening presents on Christmas Eve and going to bed knowing that Santa will bring an extra special gift that we asked for. Thank you for sharing! Happy Stitching!
My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating our “travel tree”! We’ve been collecting ornaments from all our travels together. When I pull out an ornament, we are reminded of awesome memories and how much fun we had on each trip. 🎄🎄🎄
My favorite Christmas tradition is going around the neighborhood with family and friends from church doing Christmas caroling! It's so much fun! And then back to the house for hot cocoa or coffee. If it starts snowing, it's even better!
So excited for these ornaments. My favorite Christmas tradition is on Christmas Eve, my children & grandchildren gather at my house. We have wonderful snacks that every one brings and open gifts. I love the memories they share and love to hear their laughter.
I am so excited to stitch this years ornaments. They are beautiful and will be perfect for my granddaughters tree. Our favorite Christmas traditions is a very fancy Christmas Eve dinner with all of our children and grandchildren. This is followed by the unwrapping of matching pajamas with photoshoot and a massive sleep over before opening presents and Christmas breakfast. Everyone of us love this tradition and look forward to it all year long.
Love these, we have started a new tradition a few years ago. We invite new or older couples without family near and combine our family with my Son in law’s parents and extended family. This makes The Holidays so much fun. We rotate houses and all pitch in so we have plenty of leftovers.
I have two favorite Christmas traditions each year. First is watching my granddaughter dance in the Nutcracker and the second is decorating our tree snacking on M&M’s.
These are so cute!! One of my favorite holiday traditions is taking the grandkids to look are all the Christmas lights. We get hot chocolate and find a neighborhood and walk and look a the pretty lights
I can’t wait for the holiday season to start. As we are empty nesters I think our decorations are more sophisticated; lots of brass reindeers trimmed with frayed silk ribbon, four themed trees in a small house makes the entire house welcoming with ornaments from years past, like old friends. Christmas music streamed through the house. Wonderful smells, lights and well wishing prayers for all. Blessings to you and yours.
Having my family together. It use to be for dinner and cookies. The children now have children, so it is hard to get them together. So now it is just cookies on a different day than Christmas. Still love them.
These ornaments are the sweetest, Erica! These will be a darling addition to our tree for years to come. Our family's favorite Christmas tradition is decorating our Christmas tree with some of the cute ornaments we have collected and made over the years. Some ornaments date back to the late 80's. Thank you, Erica, for your delightful inspiration!🎄
Our family has so many traditions for Christmas! We start with black Friday shopping and dinner out later that night. After that it’s cookie baking day, gift wrapping, dinners , birthdays, Christmas programs, etc❤️ The nut cracker is my favorite thank you for doing these ornaments this year.
These are darling! My favorite of our traditions is Christmas Eve. We have a snacky dinner with a charcuterie board and finish our advent devotional and usually watch a Christmas movie.
I love your ornaments. I have the last two years of your ornament patterns (Cross-stitch and Quilted). My Christmas tradition is making ornaments for my family and friends. It is their favorite gift from me each year. Also my daughter’s birthday is on Christmas Day so we celebrate with an ice cream cake that says Happy Birthday Jesus and Sara on it. Thanks so much for sharing your designs with us each year.
Our family has watched the entire Harry Potter movie collection every Christmas for years! It takes a few days but it's my most favorite thing to do with them besides decorating the tree. Three of the kids just moved out in September off to college and such, so this will be a different year for us for sure after 20+ years of homeschooling! And, Oh my goodness! These are so adorable! I saved this video this morning to watch tonight and all the kits are sold out! Man! But, I will still have to do these. I'll just have to search out all the supplies! Great video gorgeous kit!
These ornaments are super sweet I love the theme. You are so creative. My favorite tradition has changed over the years. I used to love decorating the tree with my son, it was the best. But then he grew up and moved away. I used to love making Scottish shortbread with my mother and go Christmas shopping together, but she passed away over 20 years ago. One constant joy was going to Midnight Mass but then it changed to 10 pm Mass. But late evening Mass on Christmas Eve is so joyful to me and afterwards coming home and having an Irish liqueur before bedtime, as well as still giving and making ornaments and stockings to the kids and grandkids. A tradition I started back around 1980. I'll add this year's ornaments again this year.🎅🤶
OMG these are the CUTEST!!! 😍 we have a few traditions but one of my favs are making gingerbread houses….last year we even turned it into a fun contest with extended family and had someone outside the family to judge it!! We all had great fun trying to outdo each other 😂 it was so fun to see everyone’s creativity….even those who didn’t think they were creative had some of the coolest houses!!! Another tradition is having Christmas brunch and making homemade cinnamon rolls. 🎄
My favorite Christmas tradition is after decorating the house, sitting with a hot cocoa with all the lights off except the Christmas lights, and enjoying the glow of the tree. These ornaments are precious! I can't wait to stitch them.
My favorite Christmas tradition was reading the Twas the Night Before Christmas to my kids and now I read it to my grandkids. I buy a new book each year and write a message and add a picture of them inside of it.
Our favorite holiday tradition is spending a day before Christmas making holiday cookies and candies. There is always a cookie decorating challenge. Everyone leaves with plates of treats and lots of memories..
Cute theme this year. I love going to see the Nutcracker ballet. A favorite tradition is decorating the tree with ornaments acquired from trips or handmade by family members.
OMG! These are so cute! I haven’t cross stitched for years, but these will get me going again! Love the Nutcracker! My mother in law always had Christmas Eve at her house. When she got older and couldn’t do the whole dinner cooking we began having pizza. Mom is gone now, but we still have pizza on Christmas Eve! It sure makes it easier!
My favorite Christmas Tradition is watching all of our favorite Christmas movies like Elf, A Christmas Story, and Classic Christmas movies and eating Christmas dinner.
All of these designs are adorable! My favorite memory was spending the night with our daughter so we could see the 4 grandkids wake up to the magic of Christmas! Most of those nights were spent awake with my grandson ( our oldest) because he was just too excited to sleep!
Oh my gosh. You are so talented. I absolutely love these. Our Christmas tradition IS the Nutcracker. lol My granddaughters participated in the Nutcracker ballet production for many years. They changed their focus to participating at their church. Now we attend every year. fun fun Love it. I'm looking forward to stitching these. Thank you for sharing your talents. God bless.
I have so many favorites, it's hard to pick just one. Christmas eve church service, coming out of church late in the night and looking at Christmas lights on the drive home. And food!! Roast beef sandwiches Christmas eve, breakfast casserole, and Christmas dinner...all shared with family. Fun designs for your ornaments!
My favorite holiday tradition is shopping for gifts at a thrift shop that benefits women and children. ❤ The Nutcracker ornaments are darling, Erica! Thank you for the tutorial on round finishes.
I love these! My favorite Christmas tradition is meeting at my parents. All my brothers and their families come. We don't get to see each other much though the year, but everyone shows up for Christmas so it's a nice family reunion. Good food and catching up with everyone.

I love everything about Christmas, the get togethers, decorating etc but most of all I loved baking Christmas cookies with my children.😊♥️🎄🍪
Our family has watched the entire Harry Potter movie collection every Christmas for years! It takes a few days but it's my most favorite thing to do with them besides decorating the tree. Three of the kids just moved out in September off to college and such, so this will be a different year for us for sure after 20+ years of homeschooling! And, Oh my goodness! These are so adorable! I saved this video this morning to watch tonight and all the kits are sold out! Man! But, I will still have to do these. I'll just have to search out all the supplies! Great video gorgeous kit!
My favorite Christmas tradition is spending quality time with family and making homemade gifts.
These ornaments are super sweet I love the theme. You are so creative. My favorite tradition has changed over the years. I used to love decorating the tree with my son, it was the best. But then he grew up and moved away. I used to love making Scottish shortbread with my mother and go Christmas shopping together, but she passed away over 20 years ago. One constant joy was going to Midnight Mass but then it changed to 10 pm Mass. But late evening Mass on Christmas Eve is so joyful to me and afterwards coming home and having an Irish liqueur before bedtime, as well as still giving and making ornaments and stockings to the kids and grandkids. A tradition I started back around 1980. I'll add this year's ornaments again this year.🎅🤶
My most treasured and favorite Christmas tradition is attending midnight Liturgy!
OMG these are the CUTEST!!! 😍 we have a few traditions but one of my favs are making gingerbread houses….last year we even turned it into a fun contest with extended family and had someone outside the family to judge it!! We all had great fun trying to outdo each other 😂 it was so fun to see everyone’s creativity….even those who didn’t think they were creative had some of the coolest houses!!! Another tradition is having Christmas brunch and making homemade cinnamon rolls. 🎄
My favorite Christmas tradition is creating gifts to give. Creating for others gives me a head start on Christmas!
Beautiful lil ornaments!
My favorite Christmas tradition is after decorating the house, sitting with a hot cocoa with all the lights off except the Christmas lights, and enjoying the glow of the tree. These ornaments are precious! I can't wait to stitch them.
I really look forward to the Christmas movies!! and ...........cross stitching while watching the movies!! Love your patterns!!
My favorite Christmas tradition was reading the Twas the Night Before Christmas to my kids and now I read it to my grandkids. I buy a new book each year and write a message and add a picture of them inside of it.
Our favorite holiday tradition is spending a day before Christmas making holiday cookies and candies. There is always a cookie decorating challenge. Everyone leaves with plates of treats and lots of memories..
Cute theme this year. I love going to see the Nutcracker ballet. A favorite tradition is decorating the tree with ornaments acquired from trips or handmade by family members.
My favorite tradition is opening our stockings at the end of Christmas Day. I love stuffing stockings I purchase items all year round to fill them.
OMG! These are so cute! I haven’t cross stitched for years, but these will get me going again! Love the Nutcracker! My mother in law always had Christmas Eve at her house. When she got older and couldn’t do the whole dinner cooking we began having pizza. Mom is gone now, but we still have pizza on Christmas Eve! It sure makes it easier!
My favorite Christmas Tradition is watching all of our favorite Christmas movies like Elf, A Christmas Story, and Classic Christmas movies and eating Christmas dinner.
All of these designs are adorable! My favorite memory was spending the night with our daughter so we could see the 4 grandkids wake up to the magic of Christmas! Most of those nights were spent awake with my grandson ( our oldest) because he was just too excited to sleep!
Oh my gosh. You are so talented. I absolutely love these. Our Christmas tradition IS the Nutcracker. lol My granddaughters participated in the Nutcracker ballet production for many years. They changed their focus to participating at their church. Now we attend every year. fun fun Love it. I'm looking forward to stitching these. Thank you for sharing your talents. God bless.
I have so many favorites, it's hard to pick just one. Christmas eve church service, coming out of church late in the night and looking at Christmas lights on the drive home. And food!! Roast beef sandwiches Christmas eve, breakfast casserole, and Christmas dinner...all shared with family. Fun designs for your ornaments!
My favorite holiday tradition is shopping for gifts at a thrift shop that benefits women and children. ❤
The Nutcracker ornaments are darling, Erica! Thank you for the tutorial on round finishes.
I love these! My favorite Christmas tradition is meeting at my parents. All my brothers and their families come. We don't get to see each other much though the year, but everyone shows up for Christmas so it's a nice family reunion. Good food and catching up with everyone.
Trimming the tree and making sugar cookies together. TY these are darling❤❤❤❤
