You probably know this by now, but we love doing giveaways, and what better time do to giveaways than Christmas?!  We will be doing three giveaways this week, and we hope you will get some good last-minute ideas for Christmas gifts, in case you still have some shopping to do.  (You may also want to buy some gifts for yourself ;)



6 Grain Pancake MixStrawberries - Freeze Dried



Today's giveaway comes from Fran from Shelf Reliance.  Fran is offering a #10 can of 6-grain pancake mix and a pouch of dried strawberries! (Now, doesn't that make you hungry?)

How many miles are you traveling for Christmas this year, or are you staying home?

    We will be at my sister's house, as always. Fortunately they moved much closer so we will only have to drive about 20 miles. Yay!

    We are staying home! We find it is easier to feel and enjoy the spirit of the season when we aren't harried by travel and the dramatic situations that can occur with extended family functions.

    we're not sure yet--we'll either be traveling 35 miles north or 35 miles south--depends on whether or not my little brother will be calling home from Bulgaria on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve. Either way it should be fun!

    We're splitting the holidays between families this year... We live in the same town as my husband's parents, so zero for that part. To get to my parents' house, it's about an hour each way.
