Christmas time always meant new books. Or at least new to us. It was around Christmas time when my parents would first go to the library and bring home armloads of books, which would then continue until spring came and things got too busy to do loads of extra reading.
With winter and Christmas just around the corner I decided I would like to give my dear readers a chance to win the entire set of Lily books. You can keep them for yourself and give them to someone on your Christmas gift giving list.
To enter all you have to do is leave a comment telling me of one of your favorite winter evening activities.
For a second entry post a link to this giveaway to your blog or Facebook and then come back and leave another comment telling me you did.
Since I'm in the Christmas mood I'm giving you a third entry if you either like this Facebook page or send me a friend request on my personal page.
I will be choosing a winner on Monday November 28th just in time to kick off the official Christmas season.
Giveaway is now closed and a winner has been chosen.
One of my favorite memories is during snows the local park board would build us fires on the street corner where they'd close the street for sled rides. All was good until I melted my new rubber boots by getting too close.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this lovely give-away! One of my favorite winter evening activities is coming in from ice skating on the pond and sitting around the cookstove in the kitchen...drinking warm cocoa and knitting while everyone is enjoying homemade cookies, cocoa and each other! :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite winter activities is making Christmas cookies for my family and relatives.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your give away contest of the books! My favorite winter memory was building snow forts by porch light and warming up by a roaring fire in our fireplace. My mom would make us hot chocolate and we then played Old Maid. Does anyone play that card game anymore?! Wishing you all a blessed Thanksgiving next week.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite winter activity is sitting in my comfy chair and looking at my Christmas tree lights with Christmas music.

I like to sit and read books and eat cookies
ReplyDeleteMy family and I like to attend a live Nativity during the early part of December. It helps us to keep in mind the meaning of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet during the winter evenings. not only does it help keep my fingers nimble, but it is very comforting and cozy!
ReplyDeleteI already have the Lilly books on my Kindle, and loved them!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite winter evening activities is just sitting beside the fire and poking it every so often.
ReplyDeleteMid-winter I like going to the nearby lake to see the tents and ice fishing going on. We hike across the lake at least once a winter.
ReplyDeleteWinter brings the holidays which bring many traditions that allow us to spend even more time together. We all go to the nicest hotel in our capital and see all their lush Christmas decorations and their special gingerbread display. My mom gets has all the grandkids over to make Christmas cookies. On New Year's we all go out to get doughnuts. We love just being together!

On winter evenings I enjoy sitting by our woodstove with a cup of hot tea and a good book. If I have a quilt in the quilting frame, I also enjoy doing that.

I love sitting by the fire and reading stories together as a family on cold evenings.

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite evening winter activities is crocheting -- while snuggling under a blanket in our 100+ year old drafty farmhouse! :o) Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy curling up with my fur babies on the sofa and listening to the fire crackling in the wood stove.
ReplyDeleteOh how nice! I'd love to read your books and share them with my girls! I'm buying the set someday soon here (unless I win this!!!)! : ) Winter evenings are MADE to spend with your nose in a book, or doing a jigsaw puzzle with the family, working on a crossword puzzle or sudoku puzzle together... stuff like that! Good times ahead...
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet while I chat with my husband.
ReplyDeleteGames with the family or knitting.
ReplyDeleteI love being cozy inside spending time with my family, reading a good book, and I am hoping to snow shoe this year as well.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite winter time activity is indoors. Sitting by the wood stove with a steaming cup of tea and a good book is my idea of a good time.
ReplyDeleteDuring the winter time I love grinding and pressing apples to make fresh apple cider. My children find it fascinating and love to help out. It's a real treat when you live in LA and you can always warm it up if its cold outside or drink it fresh if it's a hot day.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite winter time activities is to get all bundled up with a blanket and sit down and read a good book. I'm not a fan of the snow and cold so if I can stay inside and read all day it's the best way to spend a cold day.
ReplyDeleteOur family always enjoyed working on jigsaw puzzles together. We never were much on watching TV, but sitting together around the dining room table, playing Scrabble or working a puzzle was always a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite activities is to read a good book. Even though with a big family I don't often have time to do that it is something I love to do. Thank you! Leah K.
ReplyDeleteThis year my favorite activity is working on rag rugs with my daughters while my husband & son are doing scrimshaw (carving designs onto horns). We also all like to play board games, play piano & sing & read together as a family. We all have individual things we enjoy, but I like it best when we can all be in the same room. No TV, no outside noise, just calm & peaceful evenings. When its just me I love to crochet. :). Blessings! Julie
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching the fire in the fireplace and eating popcorn.
ReplyDeleteI like sitting on the couch reading a good book in front of a cozy fire sipping hot chocolate.

ReplyDeleteI mentioned your blog on my blog just a few moments ago. I'm not on Facebook, so I can't do that.
ReplyDeleteI can get lost in genealogy on cold winter nights.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to read to us as well in installments. But there were no refreshments!!!
