Hi there! I am so excited to be holding another contest…this one is entitled “Hooray for the holidays” and over the last two weeks you have been so kind to send in and share with me your interpretation of what the holidays are all about. I had said there were no rules……..whether it be your little trick or treaters or your Thanksgiving turkey, a favorite vignette in your home, your home getting prepped for Christmas, a baked with love goodie, your beloved pet showing his holiday spirit and spunk or just the foliage around your neck of the woods…..whatever the holidays means to you is what I asked you to send over. And you did not disappoint!

I so enjoyed going through all your beautiful pictures and thank you for sending them in and being part of the fun!Now that I have a trustworthy poll…thanks Polldaddy, I will keep this post up  for the next two days and allow you to vote. You are able to vote for up to 4 pictures per day as I realize its nearly impossible to choose just one.

I hope you enjoy going through all of these incredible images as much as I enjoyed putting this together. One thing is to be sure, if this doesn’t get you in the mood for the holidays, don’t know what will! I realize it’s a lot to go through and you may want to have a pen and paper nearby to jot down your faves, just bear in mind the theme “Hooray for the holidays” and decide which picture(s) best exemplify that.  Enjoy…….

Because I got so many amazing pictures, I decided to offer a first and second place prize. The first place winner will receive a Vagabond House squirrel and nut bowl  and the second place winner will a silver or ant. gold guest towel holder.

Enjoy……..

Whoa!! Are you still sitting? Some real beauties don’t you think? I think each and every one of them sums up the festive nature of the holidays, from Halloween to beautiful Thanksgiving, all the way to prepping  for Christmas. 
So which of these do you think fits best “Hooray for the holidays”? Since I know there are so many beauties…I have allowed it so that you can choose up to 4 favorites per day. The voting will start today and will continue until   I will announce a winner on Sunday morning where I will announce the lucky winner of the gorgeous European kitchen trivet and announce my next giveaway! 
Now as you start prepping for Christmas, be sure to have your cameras at the ready….my next contest “The magic of Christmas” will start right after Christmas, I will collect pictures until Jan. 6th and then run the contest around Jan. 8th. Thanks so much to all who sent in their beautiful, charming, funny, whimsical and serene pictures……and to all who are participating in the voting too! Thanks for stopping in, now put those thinking caps on and get ready to vote!

Well, I am partial to the ones of my own kids, but I only voted for number 56 because what is life without a sense of humor! Made me laugh out loud. I want to know if it was a blogger that submitted that one because I want to make sure I am following her if it is Ha ha ha. Such amazing entries Tina!

Oh my goodness, this is quite a batch of amazing pictures that sum up holiday spirit so well. I had a hard time but broke it down to my favorite table setting, the funniest, the cutest and the prettiest. You are right your readers are so talented. I will be entering the next one for sure.

Tina… OMG… such great photos. Haven’t voted yet because I’m scrolling through them one more time. Can you tell I take my voting seriously??? Hope your having a great week!!!

Those adorable kids and pets get me every time. Some of the table settings are just to die for. I got so many great ideas here and haven’t done one thing in my home…now I feel inspired! Awesome idea to have this contest.

Oh my gosh, I’m so glad you’re letting us vote more than once. It’s impossible to pick, Tina! So much holiday goodness out there. I’m definitely feeling festive now. Thanks for getting us into the holiday spirit and coordinating all these photos. Wow! XOXO

Think the beauty is a testament to the people who love your blog Tina. I cannot believe how many pictures! I had a hard time but chose two with kids one with the dog and one of a very festive feeling home, to me that best mean “Hooray for the holidays”. This was a fun contest, cannot wait to see who wins.

WOW. I felt like crying, just seeing all of the love here, Tina. The creativity, the laughter (that darling one of the crying babies and JOY!) and all the lush décor! BRAVO, you did it again. And I’m sitting here with my plateau adorned with candles on top of it….so many fun things I can do with this! Anita

5, 7, 28 and 79 all to me say hooray for the holidays. It was hard to vote but I finally narrowed it down, not an easy decisions. So many wonderful pictures to pursue. Hope your holidays are merry.

Truly impossible to pick four favorites! I appreciate the tremendous amount and time and effort you put into this post, and also the privilege of getting to peek into to many wonderful homes.

It would be great to see how some decorate with Nativity scenes/Creches, to see how some decorate beautifully with images of the “real” reason for the Christmas season instead of only with seasonal greens and St. Nicholas. We have a beautiful Holy Family set we brought back from a trip to Italy and I would love to see how others decorate using such items.

Tina, these were so great, I had to put notes by all my numbers, then narrow down! My favs are the pets in the car and the large
family gathering. Thanks for sharing!

Tina another beautiful contest. I cannot believe how many beautiful pictures there, your readers have great taste! I love the dogs staring at the decorations and of course all those cute kids pull at my heart strings since I am about to be an empty nester in two years.

There were so many I loved but finally got it down to 4, not easily though!

Tina, Love, love, love these contests. Getting to peak inside all the Beautiful homes, is such a treat. However, I have to vote for the pets, and my favorite is the darling Golden Retriever Bumblebee

What a collection of photos!! I fell for the pets and kids, but had to include one of the front doors and one of the table settings in my vote. Narrowing down to 4 was HARD!
This is such fun though and really does put me in the spirit. On a side note, got my order yesterday and LOVE everything. Thank you!

Oh my, that’s a whole lot of festiveness! 48 was my Xmas favorite, but I also loved the blood stained table cloth with the Halloween setting! Fun contest!

Wow Tina! You’ve got a great group of participants here! I’m going to have to go back and look a couple times.. there are so many great ones:) Happy Friday!

Its so lovely to be part of another fun contest! Thank you Tina, the photos are gorgeous and inspiring. I love the ones with grouse and pheasant, the stunning Christmas trees so exquisitely decorated, and I have to say, the little fiat in Italy my other home. But most of all, the darling children, families all together. ” for it matters not what is on the tree, but who is around it “
With love from England, Sallyx

Wow , I am a bit overwhelmed so many beautiful images to choose from it was so difficult!! Everyone did such a lovely job with their holiday decor!! Hope you are having a great weekend!!
