On the 2nd day of Christmas Melonheadz gave to me

 Click here to pick up my "Retro Style Christmas freebie" bundle from my TPT store!



This contains both the colored and black and white images:)



I also have a giveaway at the bottom of this post to win my "Christmas cookie" bundle



But before you go enter check out my answers to our 12 Holiday questions and get to know me a little bit better. :)

1. What's your favorite Holiday song?


My favorite Holiday song is Silent Night! I used to sing it to my babies when they were little. This explains why they don't love this song, lol. I can not sing at all!






2. What's your favorite holiday memory?

One of my favorite memories was when I was about 6. Santa used to come to the school, and we would get to sit on his lap. Santa always knew my name and what I wanted! It was so cool. Years later, I found out that Santa was my dad :)
 
3. What's your favorite holiday indulgence?


My favorite indulgence..... I buy a few new Christmas movies every year. I would watch them 24/7 if my husband would let me,lol.



4. What's your favorite holiday food?

My favorite holiday food...... I wish I had only one! I LOVE everything about the holidays, including the food! It is why I resemble an ornament with legs :)


5. What's your favorite holiday craft?

My favorite holiday craft...... To be honest, I don't do a lot of crafts anymore. I used to make things every year with my mom. 


6. What's your favorite holiday tradition?

My favorite tradition would be driving around looking at Christmas lights! I LOVE it:) I used to leave early on my way to work just to do that. This year I can go with my family. I am so happy!


7. What's your favorite holiday movie?

My favorite movie.... White Christmas. I remember watching it with my older brother Blair when I was a little girl.


8. What do you get your class for a holiday gift?

I'm going to send my adopted class pillowcases! Gonna sew 'em up myself:)





9. What's your favorite holiday thing to teach?

Our family is learning about the joy of giving this year. We have been able to do a few "sub for Santas", and are feeling so blessed to have the opportunity!




10. What's your favorite holiday book?

I gather books like movies:) This year I bought "Christmas from Heaven" by Tom Brokaw.


What an awesome story!!!!


11. What's your favorite holiday product?

My favorite holiday product is, my nativity graphics. I want to do another one every year! This is from last year:



12. What do you want Santa to bring you this year?

I really don't need anything this year! I am perfectly happy to be home with my family.

  66. Thanks so much for this adorable retro set! I just love everything Melonheadz and have become addicted ever since I first set eyes on your work. It was great learning a bit more about the creative genius behind those darling figures. I already have the lined art version of the cookie set and would love to win the colored version to go with it! By the way, my mom is always Mrs. Claus for the children at my school for Christmas pictures. Up until this year, my youngest would have his picture taken with her at the school, never realizing it was his grandma either.
    Have a fantastic holiday, knowing that your creations spread good will and cheer to all!
