For the very first day of 12 Days of CHRIS-elle, I teamed up with essie to create this amazing unconventional holiday glam look. I love the classic holiday colors just as much as the next girl- but if you really want to stand out at your holiday party, try mixing it up a little bit with an unexpected color. When I saw this nail color “For The Twill of It,” I totally fell in love. It has a gorgeous sheen to it and I love how, depending on the light, you can see so many different shades of blue, purple and teal. I took that color inspiration and brought it to my beauty look to give me a show-stopping dramatic eye. ‘For The Twill of It’ is a part of the essie 2017 holiday minis kit! It has four of my all-time favorite essie shades in adorable mini sizes! And if you love the holiday minis kit, you’ll love the essie 2017 leathers collection by Rebecca Minkoff too! It has three beautiful deep shades and a fourth rosy mauve shade with a new take on smooth matte polish.
If you usually stick to neutrals, this is a great way to introduce a little punch of color into your life! It’s bold enough to make a statement but subtle enough to not overwhelm you. Not to mention this little essie holiday minis set is probably the best stocking stuffer ever!
So what do you guys think? Ready to rock an expected polish color like For The Twill of It? Well, you can! This color plus some more amazing essie shades are the first giveaway for the 12 Days of CHRIS-elle. Plus, thanks to our partnership with Essie, we were able to make a generous donation to Baby2Baby!

My fav holiday tradition is to spending time with family up in Lake Tahoe in a cabin, ice skating, drinking hot chocolate! 🙂
My favorite tradition is singing “All I want for christmas is you ” almost everyday with my little sister !
My favorite holiday tradition… I can’t really say that we have a special tradition in my family but we do tend to travel around the holidays which is a thing I love, but who doesn’t right? We spend christmas in our hometown but when it comes to the new year we almost always travel. This year we’re going to L.A.! I love this city and every memory I have from there. P.s. Thanks for sharing the work you and your team so carefully create! And also thanks for the opportunity of this 12 days of Chris-elle! Have a great holiday with your friends and family!

Hey Chriselle! One beloved holiday tradition is my very happy Chinese Christmas dinner of hot pot–we use lots of veggies, fish cakes, tofu, beef + lamb and my mom makes her special dipping sauce. There’s really nothing than having a teaming hot pot dinner with family 🙂
My friends and I recently started a yearly tradition to have a Christmas party- half friendsgiving, half secret santa!

My darling’s My favorite holiday tradition is sending Christmas cards. The days of sending and receiving greeting cards has passed, but I truly love this tradition. I am the child of British immigrants and all my life I received and sent cards to family and friends overseas. My Christmas card list has grown over the years , while the family overseas has shrunk . Send a card and bring some Christmas joy and love !

Favorite holiday tradition is beer, wine, food & family.
That’s all I need!
My mom and I have this little tradition. Every year, if we travel or see a Christmas ornement that we think we would like, we buy it to put it on our Christmas tree. So when we do our Christmas tree we re discover all our ornements and they all remind us of different places that we visited. It’s pretty cool and our Christmas tree is pretty unique! 🙂
We started this tradition when our first child was born. We give our kids 3 presents (1 from Mom & Dad, 1 from sibling, and 1 from Santa). This symbolizes how Jesus also received 3 gifts when he was born. It has also given us the opportunity to not “stress” about getting everything on their wish list since the kids know how many gifts they’ll have.
MY favorite tradition is to spend a lot of time with my family
My favorite christmas tradition is that we play with our family with water balloons, and them we all end up in the pool (we usually spend our holidays in warm weather).
I absolutely love the earrings you’re wearing in this post! So feminine and not too much, yet a beautiful statement piece to glam up every outfit (and makeup). I have three favourite traditions. The first one would be to write Christmas cards to all my beloved ones, who inspire and encourage me through the whole year. The second one would be to wrap presents while sipping a hot almond milk chocolate with mini marshmallows and watching Christmas movies. The one I am most looking forward to is a nice dinner or brunch with friends, to ring in the festive season and get all together to share the most beautiful memories of the year and tell each other what we’re thankful for.
Love,
Deborah Chloé
I really enjoy your posts about different things and the tips you give. Even though you have a successful career, it is amazing to still see you so grounded. I love how you use non-expensive items that many of us can also get our hands on! I actually really like your pop of colour in your eyeshadow 🙂
The nail polish colour are so pretty.Love the glittery effect
My favurite holiday tradition id travelling upcountry to go spend some time quality time with my parents
The first saturday in december we have our annual christmas party with friends which I love. It´s rather small, each of us invites one friend, we wrap gifts for charity and decorate different kinds of cookies. This is something I look forward to the whole year!
Kind wishes,
Léa
My family’s best holiday tradition is cooking altogether for Christmas dinner. It’s being quite difficult to do as our kitchen is small, however it’s sooo funny as my dad loves to make jokes, and we cook, laugh and talk throughout the process. My little brother loves to play with flour, as a result all the floors at home become white😂
My favorite holiday tradition is going someplace new every year. Being able to experience different parts of the world with my family is such a blessing and the greatest gift!
My favorite Christmas tradition is buying a real Christmas tree, and when they cut off the stump (for freshness) we save the stump and put the date, type of tree and a “theme” for that year’s Christmas.
It is a little bit hard for me to say what my favorite holiday tradition is because it is always different. I do not have any relatives here in the U.S. All of my aunts and uncles and cousins live in Korea, so for holidays I never get to see them because they are so far and it is so expensive to go there. It is hard to say what my favorite holiday tradition is because my boyfriend and I are long distance so some years I will spend it with my parents and other years with my boyfriend. If I were to choose a favorite holiday tradition overall it would be just enjoying our morning coffee together and baking sweets.
Fav holiday tradition is staying up late, wearing new jammies, drinking hot chocolate and watching “Elf”.
My favorite tradition: Christmas morning brunch with the family!!
My favourite holiday tradition is watching White Christmas with my sisters!! We always look forward to watching it together!!
Hehe, you totally read my mind! I absolutely love Essie nails! Perfect for the holiday gifts indeed. 🙂 xo
omg love your blogs.. an inspiration
Drinking hot chocolate, wearing pj all day and watching movies on Christmas Day
Favorite holiday tradition is getting our picture taken with Santa at Children’s Museum. I swear he is the best realistic looking Santa ever. Those pictures are framed and placed alongside the fireplace.
I don’t have any holiday traditions. But if i’m Ever so lucky enough to start a beautiful family like yours, then maybe I will start some of my own
My favorite Christmas tradition is sharing the moment with my family and finally seeing them after months of being away, that’s the most precious! Happy holidays Chriselle!
I really love you Chriselle
I’ve been following you for so long and I’m also very happy and excited for this giveaway.
The best holiday gift I’ve ever received was a bag of goodies, my mother used to buy me and my little brother.
Now that I’m older, I stopped receiving those gifts
Love you <3
My favorite holiday tradition is having a family photo-shoot and spend a good time together.
Your last post for 12 days of Chriselle really struck a chord with me. I’ve always been the type of person to have dreams as big as my mind could fathom yet these last few years I’ve felt so defeated and those dreams of mine somehow became just that… Dreams. I know it may seem silly but I feel like winning this computer would be the jumpstart I need to believe in myself again and know that anything I set my mind to is attainable, not just some wish. So I can get this show on the road as they say.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION LOL
My fav tradition is cooking with my mom for the family
My favorite Holiday tradition is to simply pass some good time with those I love.
My fav holiday tradition is drinking mulled wine and making gingerbread raindeers with my mom.
My favourite tradition is when my entire family gets together on christmas eve and we have a big family feast. After dinner we all pour ourselves a cup of mulled wine and sit by the christmas tree and sing christmas carols together. It sounds very cliche but it makes my christmas complete.
Wheep I love this unconventional mood! My absolute favorite tradition is go to the Christmas market with my mom and watch the Swarovski Christmas tree at the train station in Zurich – we have been doing that for years!

I hope my entries still count! I’ve been out of the country with no access to internet so submitting all of my entries now!
My favorite holiday tradition is definitely decorating the tree. It’s such a warm feeling inside during and after and sets the whole mood in the house for the holidays!
My favorite holiday tradition is going sledding in Park City with my family. We get all bundled up and sled for hours and then when we get so cold we cant feel our toes we head to a coffee shop and get hot chocolate. This year will be our 10th year doing it.
Those nails looks SO GOOD my god O.O I was actually looking for some inspiration for my Christmas themed nails ! Thank you !
My favorite tradition must be when we decorate the trees: I used to do it by myself but one year, I just got angry at my parents for not having any “real” Christmas traditions so I told them I was going to start them myself and this year, my mom tagged along ! We went my parents and I to buy a tree together (that was so awesome) and then my mom, sister and I decorated it together ! I am 22 and the one starting our traditions xD (better late than never… and someone gotta do it !!)
Love, Alex
#12DaysGiveaway
My most FAVORITE tradition is a big sleepover with all my cousins! Even now, as an adult, it’s fun to all get together, ages 3-40, and just hang out on Christmas Eve!

My favourite holiday tradition is to make my own Christmas cards for people I love! I usually cut out potatoes into many shapes, stamp them into different colours of paint, then onto the cards! It takes time and effort but seeing the reactions of my friends and family fills so much warmth and joy into my heart!
My favorite holiday tradition is baking sugar cookies while listening to Christmas music with my mom and grandma. Love spending time with family during such a warm time!
My favorite Holiday tradition is going to see the Chritmas lights down Candy Cane Lane by where I live. It’s fun to see which house has added or changed anything since the year before. I love taking my friend’s kids to go see them!

I bet even “Sheen” needs more sheen in her life.
Haha 😂 aside from picking the nail polish to match with our outfit on Christmas eve. My whole family never misses 9 consecutive midnight mass from Dec 16-24 and end it with a family dinner. Our mom usually wakes us up so early around 3am to prepare to go to church. She always remind us that if we complete it, our Christmas wish will be granted. And oh, there’s usually free food after. Hahaha 🤭
My favorite Holiday tradition is decorating the Christmas tree with my son because we go through all the ornaments he made all throughout his elementary school, and it brings back such sweet memories!

My favourite Christmas tradition is to listen Christmas songs while Ibdecorate the Christmas tree 🎄 with may family. ❤️
My favorite holiday tradition is watching my nephews open up their presents for Christmas and helping them put together their toys to enjoy. It’s so nice being able to witness them wake up in the morning, looking for their presents under the tree and opening them up.
Gathering at one of our houses and having a Christmas feast… with some random holiday movie playing in the background… and the Christmas gift exchange by the Christmas Tree!
I love to drive around different neighborhoods to look for Christmas decors/lights.
My favorite holiday tradition is the Christmas eve service at church. My parents and I go every year together and it is such a wonderful time spent with the congregation to celebrate the birth of Christ and to spread love and joy to one another.
My favorite holiday tradition is draping on some thick warm red scarf and walk along the decorated streets with my family!!
My favorite holiday tradition is for sure driving around and looking lights!

Hi Chriselle!
My favorite traditions are entire family gathering, from the oldest to the youngest together to celebrate and meet ❤️ Also the Christmas gift tradition, always happy to collect gifts for the beloved one and see them smiling!
Most favorite Christmas tradition would be completing the devotional nine-day series Night Mass and eating together with family members on Christmas eve.
Decorating the tree and baking homemade cookies with my mom were my favorite holiday traditions! 🙂
My favorite holiday tradition is the yearly family vacation. This would be the time where I would meet all my cousins and hang out with them. We usually do a three day trip somewhere near and just catch up on stories and life:)
My favorite holiday tradition would be how we celebrate all day Christmas Eve and when it hit midnight we all opened presents. We’ve grown older so it’s harder to get together. But it feels nice having that love from family when we do.
My favourite holiday tradition is decorating the Christmas tree together with my family.
My family doesn’t really celebrate Christmas too much since we moved to California (we used to live in Arkansas) but we always make time to drive around our neighborhood to see the decorations on houses!
My favorite holiday tradition is making/eating the 7 fishes on Christmas Eve. It’s an Italian tradition that I love and hope to carry on with my family. The food is so good and something I look forward to every year. 🙂

I love my friends gathering together to play Texas Poker
we each put in a little amount of money and the one who win the all will buy nice food for the group ~
My favorite holiday tradition is getting together with my family and having Christmas dinner. My parents are immigrants and never celebrated Christmas with the traditional home-cooked meal, or a huge holiday party but we would always make sure to have a meal together. Sometimes dinner would be at a Korean or Chinese restaurant because no other restaurants are open, or it’d even be eating in-n-out; nonetheless, I always will remember the holidays as a time of being thankful for another year of having each other.
My favorite holiday tradition would be exchanging gifts with my cousins. We started doing that when I was young and my aunt would spend days at the mall buying gifts for us. We would wrap gifts and write who it is to and then on Christmas Day, we would exchange and unwrap together. It is honestly the one day of the year that we all get together and have a good time.
My favorite tradition is decorating our tree with my dad 🌲
My favorite family tradition is to wear matching pajamas w my 4 sister’s while we open gifts on Christmas!!!
My favorite holiday tradition is reuniting all the family for Christmas Eve!
My favorite tradition is sharing a home cooked Korean meal with my family. Now that I am living on my own, I don’t get to eat my mom’s cooking anymore. I definitely need to learn how to make some dishes from her.
Hello! My favourite gift for Christmas was actually a card from my brother. It meant so much to me as I was living abroad for a period of time and I did not get to spend time with my family for Christmas as it was too costly to fly back home. My brother was a person with little words, thus as he wrote me a card with all his heartfelt words, I couldnt have been more thankful and touched. That was one Christmas that I will never forget! Family always comes first and I spent 2 hours facetiming with my family, eating my salad while they were having roasts for dinner but it was that moment where i felt that no matter what the distance, we are always together 🙂 This laptop will mean the world to me, I do really want to start a career on blogging and fashion styling just like you. You inspire me so much Chriselle and I hope one day, I can be successful just like how you are! Thank you so much and Happy early Christmas 🙂 <3
My favorite holiday tradition is honestly nothing. My family has work on holidays so we don’t eat or do anything. When I was young we had a small fake Christmas tree and we would put our gifts there but as we are growing up we don’t do those things. Everyone is busy doing their own thing like my mom and dad going to work and my brother in his room playing games.
My favorite holiday tradition is decorating christmas cookies with my cousins and grandma!
Love all the colors in this set. Essie always has great polishes.
My favorite holiday tradition is putting up the tree with my family on Black Friday! Such fond memories!

It’s just us, the magnificent creatures, …. and a bunch of kids running around screaming.
My favorite holiday tradition is quality time with my family and annual Christmas tree lane walk.
My favorite family tradition is making sure every family member is present. It just isn’t Christmas without family.
My favorite Christmas tradition is shopping with my mom. For gifts or for food, it doesn’t matter, the stores or full of Christmas decor and songs, and it’s that one time of the year we really cherish together!
My favorite holiday tradition is gathering with family, eating korean food, and rewatching korean dramas. It may sound too “ordinary” but what I think makes it more fun and valuable is the warmth that my family gets from each other. Just relaxing and enjoying each other’s company. I think this year, we’ll be rewatching “Goblin” (last year was “You who came from the star”)
I would like to declare my new holiday tradition right here and now – beginning in 2017 I declare my new holiday tradition to be to either indulge in a new experience no matter how big or small or travel to a foreign place (not just out of the country) just somewhere that I have never been; even if it is just 5 miles away! #12DaysGiveaway
Thank you so much for doing this!!! Even just answering the questions alone is a great experience!

My favorite tradition is waking up on Christmas Day and see what Santa brought me this year!!!
My favourite holiday tradition is to eat shabu shabu with my family on Christmas Eve and then watch Home alone 1 and 2. I think it’s crazy how we have continued this tradition for at least 13 years now, but we never get bored with it.
My favorite tradition is having everyone coming home for Christmas near and far…it’s one a year that my family and extended family get together to celebrate season of love!
Definitely is the family gatherings and spreading joy and love to everyone!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Chriselle! Thank you for starting December and ending the year with this lovely 12 Day of CHRIS-elle! ❤️ You have such a big heart and I believe your contributions to the organisations will go a long way. For myself, I volunteer my time at various events the school organises to engage the elderly or children. But you certainly inspire me to do more, and slowly but surely, I will make that desire to spread joy and love come true. Baby steps for now, but won’t be long!
May I say…. sleep sleep and sleep until the lunch time☺️☺️ and laying on my bed, just to be a lazy person hahaha😅
My favorite holiday tradition is to have potluck with my whole big family! There will be A LOT kind of food!!! From western, chinese, indian to even our malaysian food ♥️♥️♥️
You’ve inspired me to do my own little 12 days of give away because there’s nothing better than seeing the people you love with a smile on their faces. Cheers to spreading love and joy!
I love these colors! Perfect for the winter~ For this year, I can’t wait until my parents and I go look at all the Christmas decorated houses
#12DaysofChriselle #12DaysGiveaway
I’m from Venezuela and one of the things we do that I love is staying up till midnight to open our presents <3 on the 24th
Love being up before anyone else and having a quiet moment before waking up everyone!
My favorite things to do is to simply make quality time for my family and friends.
Love,

My favorite Christmas tradition is watching old disney channel original movies with my sister
As you know Malaysia is a summer year around and tropical climate country so my family will mostly spend our holiday at another country to feel the atmosphere of the cozy holidays. Or else we will spend a night at “Genting” a most cozy place in Malaysia.
My favorite holiday tradition is bringing home a fresh Christmas tree!
Our favourite holiday tradition would definitely have to be putting up the Christmas tree.
Putting up Christmas decorations!!
My favorite holiday tradition is the time spent with family at Holiday. Those time are precious.
Happy holidays, Chriselle
Every year, my family goes on a ski trip with a few close family friends. Starting from when I was too young to remember, we’ve had this same tradition. What I love about these trips is all the fun and joy with the people who are close to me. We always have a delicious potluck-style meal of fusion Chinese-American dishes. And then, we all chill out on the pull-out couch and watch a movie (usually action and horror, not a holiday one) in front of the fireplace. Of course, I can’t forget the skiing. It’s one of the greatest feelings to whiz down a mountain, surrounded by snow but still warm and bundled up with just my cheeks and nose reddened from the cold. #12DaysGiveaway
My favorite holiday tradition is preparing gifts to my family and friends. #12DaysGiveaway
I absolutely love Essie polish. It’s the only one I use right now!

One of my favorite holiday traditions is wrapping presents with my Dad because he would teach me how to make them look super nice. Some years were more stressful than others but he always had something new to teach me.
I love being able to decorate the Christmas tree together with my family every year. Amazing memories. Hope you had a wonderful time decorating yours with Allen and Chloe.

Our holiday tradition is getting together with family and having a large carefree meal together! This year, we will be incorporating matching pjs! Hopefully this one continues.
My favorite festivities are “The posadas”, they are like preparties that celebrate the Christmast’s spirit. Those are so fun. Blessings
I simply hope to win this for my teen Son which I m very happy to hv despite the failed marriage . He is the Biggest blessing in my life . Christmas is the time for me and him to reflect on what had been achieved for the year
I hope he can see the marvel of a MacBook and create something for himself in the near future
My favorite tradition is waking up the kids at midnight and have them open all their gifts. They love it and it’s so much watching them because they literally sleep in the pile of gifts and wrapping papers.
Our favorite family holiday tradition is to have a holidayChristmas morning toast of champagne along with homemade ham biscuits!🎄🥂

I saw the For the Twill of It color when I went shopping over Thanksgiving break. I fell in love with the color, but I was focusing my shopping trip on gifts for other people so I didn’t pick it up. Now that I’m seeing it again, I’m thinking about picking it up as a little treat for myself!
The new holiday tradition we do now is celebrate with both sides of my family. It makes me feel grateful that my son gets to experience this because I’ve never had that when I was a kid. We go to my husbands parents house and bring my family over, and then have everyone eat breakfast and open their gifts! It’s interesting to see it as a tradition now. I never pictured myself having this kind of life, and I feel truly blessed and thankful.
I think my favorite holiday tradition its wraping all the gifts. I love making bows, and selecting wraping papers, making imposible to guess whats inside, decorating the gift bags, writting the identification stickers. I know its not realy a tradition, but its someting you do during the holidays, and I like it and its a must and it makes me happy.
My favorite holiday tradition would have to be waking up on Christmas day, hearing my dad play classic Christmas music and my mom ready to go with cups of coffee and hot chocolate!

I love this set! Im actually a nail junkie and certified nail technician (something I did while I was in school because I love nail artistry that much!). My favorite holiday memory is taking money walks with my family: which is essentially when we take long walks around the neighborhood/or state parks and had missions (such as catching falling leaves or finding animal footprints in the snow). Every time we complete a mission, my sister and I received a dollar, my parents could participate and things would get so competitive! We would come back from the walks exhausted but richer, so we didn’t mind the cold too much HAHA
Velitas! A tradition that is done on the 7th of December. Everyone lights candles as a reminder of hope
My favorite holiday tradition would be attending the christmas eve mass at church in the evening, then coming home to countdown to Christmas day. It’s not a typical american holiday tradition but once moving here to the US, my family and I decided to keep the tradition going 🙂

Hello 🙂
My favorite Christmas tradition is having dinner on Christmas Eve with my grandparents and then opening our presents together (in Germany we celebrate on the 24th).
Sadly, I only have one set of grandparents left. That is why I cherish the time I still have with grandma and grandpa even more.
This past year, I discovered a new holiday tradition. I got invited to my very first family white elephant gift exchange and it was an awesome experience! I come from a very small family and only immediate family members in the state are my parents. When I got invited to my boyfriend’s family’s gift exchange event, I got a little too excited! He comes from a big family and it was an awesome tradition to be a part of
My favourite holiday tradition would be the eve before Christmas where the whole family gathers for a scrumptious dinner and giving out presents to everyone!
My favorite holiday tradition is getting matching pjs with my family and baking cookies! Thx for a chance at this awesome giveaway ~
My favorite holiday tradition are our unconventional Christmas dinners. I’m vegan and my brother and mother are flexitatians, which means that a traditional Christmas dinner for all our diets is difficult to find. So we spice it up with either a curry which we cook together or we order sushi and eat it at home.
My favourite holiday tradition is decorating the Christmas tree with my siblings while my dad sits on the couch telling us for the 239473th time what a beautiful tree we have this year and my mom singing christmas songs💫
My favorite holiday tradition is snuggling in bed watching Home Alone with my husband.
My favorite holiday transition is that every year on December 1st we decorate our Christmas tree 🎄 and we bake Christmas cookies just for the smell ! I looove this 🌹
My favorite thing to do is make gingerbread houses and cookies . decorating is the best part ! Sometimes I’ll have a competition with my mom to see who’s turns out better ( its usually my mom)😂🎄❄
We have so many Christmas traditions. I am so glad that my children 👶🏾 look forward to Prepping for each tradition.
One of our traditions is opening up our stockings on Christmas Eve. A great nail polish 💅🏾 and lipstick 💄 is a great stocking stuffer for a few of my family members!
Hey Chriselle! I don’t have many traditions in my family, but we always get to see our grandparents, cousins, and other family we don’t normally see during the rest of the year, at Christmas. It’s a wonderful feeling to see the people you love at such a joyous time of year.
Every Christmas, we take a break and go on vacation!
Growing up in a Chinese household I never really had any Christmas tradition so my siblings and I started one where we’ll watch Christmas movies and eat TONS of junk food and make strong popcorn and do Christmas activities I never had the opportunity as a kid
I was born in France but my parents are Koreans so we don’t have strong holidays traditions but I think my favorite tradition is to spend every Christmas with my mum and sister and doing every time something different (going to an opera, going to a little trip, going to a ballet…).
Make up on fleek by the way haha, and thank you for the contest !
With my family, we don’t have a lot of holiday traditions… At least we didn’t think that we did!
Last year, we had a few family members from outside of our family and both of my sibs’ significant others staying for Christmas.
Generally one of our gifts from each other includes some type of new clothing item or piece. As soon as we open our gifts, we put on our new piece and wear it for the rest of Christmas morning – even if the tags are still on.
It’s funny when you don’t realize that you have a family Christmas tradition until someone comes in for the celebration and points it out to you!
my favorite holiday tradition is eating CRAP TON of food. esp korean food 🙂

My favorite Christmas tradition is putting up the tree with the entire family singing along to christmas music! Hope you’re having a wonderful December love! #12DaysGiveaway
I’ve been blessed to have a family. When my children 👶🏾 were born I wanted to create traditions that we could look forward to each year. It amazes me how much my little family looks forward to planning and prepping each activity.
1. Our Christmas 🎄 is up by Thanksgiving and we begin decorating on thanksgiving night. In the last few years we’ve added midnight 🕛 shopping to thanksgiving night.
2.Stockings hang by December 1st
And food drive/toy drive and feed the homeless
3. Matching PJs
4. Open Christmas stockings on Christmas Eve
5. Stuffed French toast Christmas morning and various frittatas
6. Ice skating ⛸ or skiing ⛷ the day after Christmas
Wow!!!…
I didn’t realize how much we did until this very moment. School activities have come to an end because 3 of my children are adults and the youngest is homeschooled.
Church activities has slowed too because we have relocated so much and haven’t found a church home.
My favorite holiday tradition is making marshmallow rice crispy treats with my family and doing a Christmas movie marathon!
My favourite holiday tradition is when my family dress up! We pick a theme that we vote on and then at christmas time we dress up and take tons of photos!
My favorite holiday tradition is getting to decorate our tree with my whole family
I’m always a mess with nail polish!! but those colors !!!
My favorite holiday tradition was spending a day sharing food and clothes with poor people in the church. It was the great thing ever in my life. However, I am not able to contiue doing that favorite thing anymore since my family immigrated to USA. Hopefullt, I will find another favorite holiday tradition here in the U.S❤️
My favorite holiday tradition is on Thanksgiving, actually! My family has a strict “no utensil” rule for this tradition. We lay out banana leaves as our “plates” and eat all the food with our hands for a very messy yet obscure way of celebrating the holiday.
Favorite Holiday Tradition: Making Macaroons with my friend. Its our annual catch up tradition!!
In Mexico, the best part about Christmas is to cook a feast with Mom and Grandma for all the family. I believe that food connects generations in a way that nothing else does.
Every year I print out these templates that say ‘I am thankful for ____ because….’ and pass them out to all my family members. We each have to write about another person and at the end of the night I hang them up on the wall. It’s sweet to read what everyone wrote to each other and we all have to guess who wrote to us!
my favourite holiday tradition is tasting normal food after fast, after returning from church in the morning
My best holiday tradition is to dance with my grandma who has Alzheimer. This makes her happy
My favorite holiday tradition is listening to classic Christmas songs, drinking hot cocoa, and decorating the tree with my entire family!
Every Christmas Eve, I go to Latin Mass with my grandma. I love the tradition and ritual and pomp of this mass, and I love helping my grandma get “all dolled up” for it. When we get back home, my whole family sings Christmas hymns and carols around the tree – usually until one of my nieces starts to doze off. Then we exchange the gifts we got each other for Secret Santa, and “track” Santa’s progress before bed. When I was little, all of my sisters used to pile into my room for the night. We’d throw all our pillows and blankets on the ground, and have a little slumber party, all of us determined to somehow stay up long enough to see Santa. Now that we’re all grown, only the sisters who live out of town stay over for the night, and it’s my nieces turn to try and stay up to see Santa.
I’m from Spain and here although we know Santa Claus too, the three Wise Men are who bring presents to us. They bring them the night of January 5th and January 6th is holiday. The night of 5th we clean our shoes and put them under the Christmas tree and so the three Wise Men can know where to leave the presents for the different members of the family, we also leave some Christmas sweets and milk or a little liquor for your majesties because they are doing a big journey and we don’t forget the camels (because they ride camels) and we leave them water.
After that we eat Roscón de Reyes (a typical cake) with hot chocolate.
This is my favourite Christmas tradition and I enjoy it since I am a kid.
My favorite holiday tradition is cooking together with the family with some cheezy Christmass music on the background! X
My favourite tradition in my household is when my Grandfather used to “be Santa Claus” every Christmas morning. Every year (well into my adulthood too) we would wake up very early, still in our PJ’s, sit by the tree, while my Grandfather would pick presents from underneath the tree and gift them to each of us one by one. He would put on his best Santa Claus voice. 🙂
My favorite tradition is having a bake-a-thon. We all bake our favorite dessert and share it with each other. Soo we have a great time and good to have some yummy eats! Haha

Getting together with my siblings even though we are grown now and decorating a tree together!
I was born in Stockholm, Sweden and have Swedish family on one side and Jamaican family on the other side. Most of my extended family is Swedish however and we always have very Scandinavian food for the holidays. Even down to our holiday decor, there are Swedish traditions rooted in everything. I love that Christmas doesn’t feel like Christmas without Swedish smells in the home and Swedish music playing. God Jul! <3

Christmas shopping!!! and of course, gift exchange with my loved ones! The reaction on their faces when they see what I’ve got them is priceless.
Having your nail done makes me feel like I have my life together. Am I the only one?

Whole family coming to my house on Christmas day for family time, gifts, and good food!
I’m not sure if I have already commented but my favorite holiday traditions are movie nights with hot chocolate with my family. We would usually spend all day watching Christmas movies or playing Christmas music as we baked cookies and then the whole family would gather on the couches with hot chocolate and buttered crackers. Even those were “cheap” snacks, they were the ones that always meant the most to me because I shared them with my family.
My favorite holiday tradition is listening to my grandmother read everyone The Night Before Christmas. I love it because I look around and see all the little kids enchanted by the words coming out of her mouth and it’s amazing to get to listen to her. As we get older, so does she, so it’s something special that we don’t have many years left of.
Getting a christmas tree and waking up to the smell of the pine needles!
Hi, I dont have a holiday tradition. My family doesn’t really celebrate anything besides Chinese New Year! I will be working for the holidays this year.

I’ve been following you for a long while, back when you were just a team of 1 and I love your content. You inspired me to run my own 12 day Give-O-Way on my blog http://www.ondiaj.com. It was the most challenging yet rewarding creative project I’ve done to date. All, keep up the awesome work!

My small family all comes in from different states a day before Christmas Eve and we eat, shop, fellowship, go through albulms and watch movies. #12DaysGiveaway

My favorite Christmas tradition has to be buying ornaments. Every year my mom would take my brother and I to the store and as a Christmas present she would get us each an ornament (or if we chose a cheap one, two). It was so fun to pick out our own special ornaments (no plain colored ornaments but ones like a sparkly snowflake or some sort of animal) and now they all fill up our Christmas tree every year. Also props to my younger self. I haven’t broken a single ornament over the years.

Seeing the anticipation and growing excitement in children as Christmas day nears… Priceless, there is nothing like it! It fills my heart with joy and my own fond memories of this time as a child (which I remember quite clearly)! 🎄
While we don’t have a set holiday tradition, we like to cook a really big meal on Christmas and have everyone sit at the table and just talk away. It is a great way to do some family and friends bonding and there is a ton of good food to eat!

My favorite holiday tradition is on Christmas eve my family and I open 1 gift from under the tree and the next morning we all wake up early to open the rest.

I grew up in the Bahamas and every year there’s a Junkanoo parade on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas). The parade would start around 10pm Christmas night and go into Noon the next day.

My favorite tradition is the 24th December. In my city, we use to go out in the morning with friends and get “a little” drunk. We chill a lot, everyone is out so you meet lots of people (I live in a small city). Then, when the evening arrives we have the Christmas Eve’s dinner with our family. Having family conversations after having drunk for the entire day is not the best but lots of fun actually 😂
I love the Winter from beginning. Most people only like this time because oft Christmas but for me it’s THE TIME oft the YEAR I like most – I can drink my Ginger tea, eating cookies without thinking about my weight (for what else do wie habe oversized pullovers, Hoodies etc.?) and reading a book without losing my Nervs (except of buying presents). I also can take my time to make my nails! So for me it’s the perfect season💕
My favorite Christmas tradition is to buy gifts at the last minute and every year I want to break the tradition, but I can’t… 😅#12DaysGiveaway

Baking “customized” gingerbread people for the friends and family who receive them, so…the gingerbread man holding a soccer ball for my friend’s soccer playing kid, and so on…they can get quite fun and creative. 😉
Happy Holidays to all!

My favorite tradition, other than gingerbread house making, was going to the Christmas eve church service then going to a family friend’s Christmas party immediately afterwards. There’s a certain comfort in the ritual of the service and the party allows everyone to relax and have fun.

Hi Chriselle, love the colors you chose. A holiday tradition in my family is wearing silly novelty hats/ headbands and decorating the christmas tree #12DaysGiveaway
I’m not sure if it counts as a holiday tradition, but we always have hot pot for dinner. My family immigrated from Taiwan so we aren’t very familiar with American style foods for the holidays. We did attempt it once! Ended up having to go bring out the hot pot pot anyway. Haha!
Baking holiday cookies and Christmas music!!
Baking cookies with my siblings!!

Hi Chriselle! I absolutely love the classic look of pearls with a little modern twist in length! ❤️ My favorite family tradition would have to be our day-after-Thanksgiving trip to the mountains to cut down a Christmas tree. Once the tree is secured to the top of the suburban, we’d eat our picnic, then spend the rest of the day sledding down the old logging roads late into the night until we were under the moonlight. The day was followed by hot cocoa and a change of socks for the ride home. 🎄🎄🎄
Hi Chriselle,
MY favorite holiday tradition is…TBD! Before the birth of my child, I’ve never really been into the holiday season but since she was born a year ago, I have started making an effort to decorate for the holidays at home. This year, I think we want to go ice skating or walk around New York city to glare at all the beautiful Christmas trees and department store windows. This is something the city makes an effort to do every year and it would be easy for us to be part of it.

favorite holiday tradition: mine is…going to church and having a praise night with my loving church family 🙂

My favorite holiday tradition is the Christmas Noche Buena. It’s the feast where we eat right when the clock tick at 12 am of Dec 25. I love this tradition so much that even if I’m away with my family I always celebrate it. And now I have my own I get to share it and pass it on to my child.
My favourite holiday tradition is having a feast with the family on Christmas eve and having another feast from the leftovers the next morning. Family time is precious and it’s all (plus the good food) that matters.
P.s. I’ve never won anything and this is the first Christmas am not spending with family. 🙁 I would be happy to win even just the cutlery set in the silver egg alone. 🙂
My family only started celebrating Christmas last year (Because my sister got married and we were invited to her husband family’s christmas party) So, we started our new tradition – feast on Christmas Day. Can’t wait for the upcoming one! ☺️

Every holiday, my family are the first ones in line at the grocery store to buy the freshest and hottest powdered doughnuts. We all then sit around the table after lighting our menorah eat our delicious donuts celebrating Chanukah! It’s the best tradition ever!
I’ve gotten my family to do face masks with me over the holidays 🙂 We have uncles and aunts, cousins all together with sheet masks after a big family dinner. It’s hilarious.
My favorite and only holiday tradition is spending an entire day with my family. There’s always an excess amount of food both a traditional Christmas feast and Vietnamese food, it’s so nice having everyone together and exchanging gifts on full bellies!
This year, I won’t be able to participate in my families traditions since I’ll be spending it with my fiancé’s family! So I’m excited to incorporate new traditions!
A Holiday tradition that I plan to start this year is having a glass of wine the morning of Xmas Cheers!! #12DaysGiveaway
Receiving presents of course!!! Haha and gathering with friends and family
My mom has a large collection of Menorahs. Instead of Christmas lights we get to light all of the menorahs up on Hanukkah. We always place bets on which candle will last the longest.
Strolling the Christmas market with my family!
Those nail polish are so cute but to be honest, it was the earrings that caught my eye first!
My favourite holiday tradition will have to be going out to town with my family and watching the Christmas lights! That and putting up the Christmas tree has always been my favourite memories and time spent together!
My favorite holiday tradition is one my family and I have been doing since I can remember. No matter where we are in the world, we get on the phone or in person and sing the song the 12 Days of Christmas. We do a random draw before to see who sings which day and the coveted spot is always the 5 Golden Rings line.

My favorite tradition for a while was going to see the Nutcracker ballet with my family. Another one was the Parade of Lights on Black Friday night. It really helped put everyone in the spirit of the holidays.
My favorite Christmas tradition is having my dads pho on Christmas and playing card games with the family.
The look of surprise and pure glee of opening gifts from my family members and friends on the day of Christmas brings enjoyment to me each year. Each year gets more sentimental and celebrating my favorite holiday with my loved ones is absolutely the best feeling in the all world!!
Love the nails! I have stubby fingers, so I’m always afraid to put polish on. Might highlight their stubbiness (if that is a word.).
My favorite holiday tradition is going to get the Christmas Tree, since it was usually something my dad and I did/do together.
I love putting up Christmas decorations i think that’s actually the most funny part of Christmas
My family is multi-cultural and multi-religious; it’s like the United Nations up in our house. Our traditions reflect and celebrate that. On Christmas Eve we celebrate with my boyfriend’s family by making tamales together and then of course enjoying the ‘fruits of our labor’ by eating until we’re tamale wasted. Then we celebrate Christmas Day at my Dad’s house where we mesh Chanukah and Christmas together, by cooking latkes ( potato pancakes) and lighting the Menorah, followed by stockings we fill with gag gifts and unwrapping presents under the tree. I love being able to celebrate the different cultures and religions that have helped shape me and the simple beauty of family and good food.
My favorite holiday tradition is buying and decorating my christmas tree! The smell of pine also brings me lots of joy too.
Believe it or not, I’ve never tried Essie nail polish. It’s a brand I have always wanted to try but it’s one that I never reach for. I love their colors though. I put it down on my Christmas list, so maybe I’ll find one in my stocking this year!
My favorite holiday tradition is waking up on Christmas Eve and making tamales with my family! It’s our bonding time 🙂

In our family, everyone would all meet up at my aunt’s house and have a huge Christmas Party! It’s so exciting because we don’t see each other often due to everyone’s busy schedule. Therefore, I look forward to Christmas Day, because we can spend some quality time with my family.
My favourite Christmas tradition is when my mom’s side of the family get together for a meal at my aunt’s home. There will be lots of food, drinks and Christmas songs blaring through the stereo. Did I mention that my mom is the 14th child (same mom & Dad as her siblings) in the family? You can imagine how chaotic it gets with all of us including my cousins cramp in a tiny little home!

Love the essie nial polishes <3 my favorite tradition has to be the fact that every year my grandmother makes her special food. The thing is I never liked the food (sausages, sauerkraut, sauce, potatoes) but the dish means so much to her that I eat it anyway.

Hi Chriselle!
Since I’m a malaysian chinese, our traditions are somehow the weirdest of all! First, we can’t sweep the floor on the first day of chinese new year. Red clothes are welcome but not black! And my family tradition would be taking family portraits together with our furkids too!

My family’s holiday tradition is simply staying in and spending time together. We love to watch movies, drink hot tea or hot chocolate, and even reminisce about how the year went. My family loves to also talk about what we look forward in the upcoming year. I hope for many more blessings to come in the year of 2018 for you and your family! Take care xoxo
Cute nail polish 💅🏾 :-)) i move to the US this year with my husband and kids and we are loving putting up the decorations ; the kids participate and love all the lights. But the best part is actually driving around and seeing how incredibly decorated some of the houses are in the area… it’s so dreamy , really brings the Christmas spirit to live and the kids are so impressed :-))
Gathering and sharing with friends and family a good home cooked meal is a favorite! An added bonus is opening presents and seeing the joy on the kid’s faces.

I haven’t seen a particular family member in four years and this person is going to be secretly visiting and surprising family 🙂

Everyday you put me to shame. I feel like a frumpy mummy in comparison. Yet, it is so hard to dislike you as underneath all those clothes, makeup, and all the nice things, you seem super nice. These Essie nails are fierce. Not sure if I can carry them off as I tend to stick to Ballet Slippers. BTW, I loved that Ballet Essie collection video you did … If only Chloe was in it, that would be everything!
My favorite holiday tradition is watching Christmas movies!! My husband and I don’t live anywhere close to either of our families so we’re always traveling for Christmas. That makes it difficult to make our house super festive, but you can watch Christmas movies anywhere!
Such a mesmerizing nail polish 💙 My favorite tradition is the family gathering at my sister’s place. We would cook and bake together before the dinner and it’s so much fun
Love the nail polishes! My favourite holiday tradition has to be the endless cooking and family gatherings. xx #12DaysGiveaway
Unrelated to the nail polish (though that is rocking too) but I love the dangly ball earrings!
My fave holiday traditions are mostly about food haha I’m from New Mexico and we have lots of traditions like tamales, posole, biscochitos and more! Of course the best part is the community aspect we have so many local events around where we get to meet with family and neighbors and eat the yummy food! There are so many occasions like lighting of different streets (when traditional Christmas decorations like farolitos the candles in paper bags are lit and everyone goes to different businesses for food), Posadas (reenacting Mary and Joseph looking for shelter, again involving going around and getting lots of food!), and especially Christmas Eve when we go to the pueblo and celebrate with big bonfires called luminarias and again, food. There really is nothing like Christmas in northern New Mexico.
That nail colours😍
Not really a tradition, but in holiday season I can’t get enough to listen Christmas songs and watch Christmas movies I used to when I was child ^^ .
My favorite holiday tradition is taking our family photo in front of the tree my grandpa puts up each year in the same pose we took the previous years.

My favourite Christmas tradition is decorating Gingerbread house with my kids
The past few years we have gone into NYC for dinner, to see the tree and go to a Rangers game. This year I’m 9 months pregnant so i don’t expect to be doing that but I hope since we will have a Christmas baby we can make this a fun birthday tradition for him every year!
Awesome awesome! I have been following for some years now. All your posts are inspiring! Thank you Chriselle.
Driving up to the mountains to pick out and chop down our christmas tree.
i try to go to a concert around that time of the year to reinspire my hope in humanity and to get into the holiday spirit even those its never cold or snowy in Miami plus i try to maintain the collecting one ornament a year for your christmas tree my family always does.
I create a treasure hunt for my kids for a special gift. They each get their own clues and it’s crazy as they run around the house in different directions to find their last 🎁❤️
Your topknot looks so fabulous!
Every holiday season, me and my family used to always go to Bryant Park in NYC for a day of skating and enjoying the holiday village shops, while roaming around and window-shopping and seeing the decorations at rockefeller. It’s always been the best way to tie in our city with our time off and really get a family activity in.

My mom and I have been making mandoo in December ever since I was a little girl for the upcoming Korean New Year Celebrations. She would always tell me that if I made pretty mandoo then I would have pretty daughters. Well now I make mandoos with my sons right when Christmas break starts and while I don’t have any daughters I tell my sons the same thing when they help me make them. But as boys will be boys my sons like to make bomb style mandoo and weird shaped ones are they’re favorite.
My favorite holiday tradition is putting up the Christmas tree while listening to Christmas music every year with my family! 🙂
I realized I didn’t write my favorite tradition!
My favorite tradition is our annual Secret Santa exchange. We pull names from a hat and send a wishlist to our group chat! It’s always fun try to guess who has you without the one you have finding out!
My favorite Christmas traditions are baking with my sisters, all kinds of foods like cookies, cinnamon rolls, bread, etc., and in essence the whole apartment smells like Christmas, are the most wonderful memories, the homemade aroma.
Love!!! The variety of colors are amazing esp the one you have on
My favorite Christmas tradition is putting up the Christmas tree with my family right after Thanksgiving! It’s a really special time because each ornament we own has a story of its own, so it’s always fun to reflect on each one as we put them on the tree.
Im never bold enough to wear anything that’s not neutral, including holiday colours. But these are so pretty I might buy it just to have it, or since my fave holiday tradition is all the family gatherings, I can use it as a gift to someone who might.
Such gorgeous colors!!

My favorite holiday tradition is to be bundled up in a cozy sweater, scarf, and beanie, while walking around downtown Taipei. The lights, music, and holiday spirit brings so much joy to my heart every time.
Also I just bought 3 new nail polishes on cyber monday: navy, black, and nude. Can’t wear to wear them although my all time favorite color to wear during winter is a chocolate brown. It looks so sweet yet sophisticated.
My family gets together and has a barbeque in the holiday season and that’s my absolute favourite part of it. 😀
Hej Chriselle! I love the nail polish, looks freaking amazing!
I guess my favourite tradition (besides decorating the whole apartment with LOTS of christmas lights) would be baking cookies and pastries. I’m really looking forward to try a few new recipes this year!

My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the house. My parents are artists so they taught us how to make our own Christmas decorations. So usually we are sitting together the whole family listening Christmas songs or watching movies (basically we are watching ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ again and again) and trying to be creative.👩🏻🎨
My favourite holiday tradition is going to take a family picture with Santa!
My favourite Christmas tradition is playing board games with my family and Christmas stockings! Even though my sister and I are now adults, we still go and sit on the end of my parents bed to open them all as a family 👨👩👧👧 Part of the fun is since I now know the truth about Father Christmas, (shock horror 😱) I now buy my mum’s stocking fillers and I love to get things I know she’s going to love ❤️
My favorite holiday tradition is to decorate EVERY room in our home with Christmas decor so that it feels like Christmas in every part of our home.

My favorite holiday tradition is reading the story of Jesus’ birth from the passage of Luke with my family before opening gifts. 🙂
Hellllloooooo Chriselle & December!! My holiday tradition is finding an ornament or two that would represent something pretty special from that year. I got engaged last year so I found an ornament that represented NYC since my fiancé proposed to me at Highline Park (my fave place in Manhattan). This year I found a gold diamond piñata shaped ornament because at my bachelorette, my sweet girlfriends gave me the exact gold diamond piñata but in a larger form!!! I love decorating my Xmas tree and it’s more meaningful when I have ornaments that represent something every year. Thanks for reading! Xo, April
I love this look on you Chriselle! My holiday tradition is being around my family and throwing a big Christmas dinner! YUM YUM! Usually, we also hand out gifts and play white elephant and super fun games like Family Jeopardy!
My family was never big on the holidays so I dont have too many traditions but I do remember going to the movie theaters a lot on Christmas day…now that I work in the film industry I can look back on those memories even more fondly 🙂
I havent painted my nails in years! Keep meaning to get a mani but cant part with the money. Would love to invest in some nail polish to paint at home, such a good girl time activity 🙂
My favorite holiday tradition Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve.
Spending time with the family and walking along the beautifully lit promenade by the seafront!
