Ooooo! I love oilcloth!
And that apron… I have a 3.5 year old and she’s getting a play kitchen set with lots of play food so it would be perfect for her 🙂
O Holy Night and Happy Holidays are 2 of my favorite songs. I can’t stand any of the holiday songs by Mariah Carey or Jessica Simpson… or Justin Bieber!!!
Thanks for hosting 🙂
Great giveaway!
Best and worst-hmmmmmmmm. I love mince tarts and hate butter tarts–there’s no logic to that. I love the Hallelujah Chorus but hate Little Drummer Boy. But really, most Christmas music is wonderful!
the worst song of the season are those awful chipmunks doing the christmas songs- and my step kids get the biggest kick out of them- ugh! 🙂 i think i like pretty much all the traditional christmas foods… except maybe figgy pudding!
Worst holiday song ever, hands down, is Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time, and now it’s stuck in my head again.
limor477@aol.com
Lovely… now I’m a follower.
My favorite holiday song is ‘Mary, Did You Know’ especially when it is sung by Clay Aiken.
My favorite awful Christmas song is Charo’s “(Mamacita) Donde Esta Santa Claus?” My least favorite awful Christmas song is Porky Pig singing “Blue Christmas.”
Hate the Justin Beiber renditions, just heard them yesterday and it was ridiculous. Love Drummer Boy, Silent Night
Love fruit cake (yes I know probably the only one who does)
Not a fan of eggnog
Anything by Alvin & the Chipmunks gets on my nerves…and I like most foods except for sugar cookies. Blegh!
My favorite Christmas song is Christmas Pipes by Celtic Women the worst has to be Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
My favorite food is the enormous Christmas breakfast we share before we open our gifts. The worst is peanut butter fudge or dry chemical like fruitcake.
ajoyfulnoise (at) live (dot) com
Love eggnog! And love your oilcloth goodies too.
My favorite song during the holidays is ‘Mary, Did You Know’? My least favorite is “Grandma got run over by a reindeer.”
I hate Wham’s Last christmas and I love my mum’s food!
Such a great giveaway! My favorite song of the Christmas season is Santa Baby, and my LEAST favorite Christmas song is anything sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks. I have an 8 year old boy who, unfortunately, LOVES those ear-shattering, nerve-grating Chipmunks. Of all the Christmas goodies, my absolutely favorite is peppermint bark. Yum!!!
I really love to hear David Bowie and Bing Crosby do Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth together. I also love eggnog. Would be delighted to win your oilcloth gifts.

Favorite Christmas Song: Ding Dong Merrily on High
Least favorite: I agree with the previous! Grandma got run over by a reindeer is terrible!
Love your bags! The best holiday food is actually a drink: Tom & Jerry. If you’re in WI, you can buy the batter in the store, but if you’re outside of the state, there are plenty of recipes online …as far as the best song? I have a fond place in my heart for O Christmas Tree
Lordy… Worst song? Not going there… But this year I heard a FABULOUS new Christmas song called “Hear, O, Hear” by Kris MacQueen. Best food… great granny’s dipped chocolates!
Cute pieces! Thanks for hosting! Best food – julekakke and worst song – Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
the very worst christmas song ever is ‘dominic the italian christmas donkey’ the holiday radio station up here plays it a million times a day.
worst food: candied peel – worst song: any song before the 1st of December (or in emergencies I will accept 1st Advent)
I think the worst food is green bean casserole! Why would someone ruin perfectly good green beans with lumpy cream of mushroom soup? Thanks for the giveaway!
favorite christmas song…carol of the bells, but my least favorite is carol of the bells done BADLY!!! Love the traditional way ONLY! 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win such great things!!
Best food… all of it 🙂 eggnog! my mother’s is great – half store-bought egg-nog, half freshly whipped cream 🙂 (rum and nutmeg on the side for those who wish)
Best song … I love Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s stuff… worst? probably “want a hippopotamus” or Brenda Lee’s “rockin’ around the Christmas tree” or anything else with that same whiny sound.
I am loving The buble CD this year, and O Holy night always gets the tears going for me. The best and worst food is the same for me on christmas I love the oyster stew but hate it the minute it is not steaming hot!!! Amazing giveaways!
My worse holiday food is oyster dressing..blak! I love dressing but the oysters don’t do it for me!! My favorite is home made rolls! mmmmmm
I love love the items you are giving away!! I follow your blog!
Lovely items! My worst food is my in-laws fudge. Velveeta does not belong in fudge!
My best song is I’ll be HOme for Christmas and my cheese ball seems to be a favorite treat during the Holidays. Thanks for a great giveaway.
What fun prizes! The worst Christmas song has to be the song about the guy who meets his ex-lover in the grocery store and then the have drinks in the car?!? I don’t know what it is called, but everytime I hear it, it makes me cringe a little.
Best,
Michelle

I don’t like the cheesy Christmas songs – the Chipmunks, the barking dogs, and the like. I do, however, love fruit cake. Real fruit fruit cake. It’s a misunderstood holiday treat.
kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com
Great giveaway! The best cookies are Red Cherry Shortbread.

lovebirdmom at gmail dot com

My worst food so far this year was the failure I made out of trying to make guamanian style coconut candy. Best so far has to have been the candied walnuts–easy and delicious!
I am definitely NOT wishing for a “white Christmas” and I love pumpkin pie and gingerbread.
best song: Silver Bells. Makes me smile when I hear it.
Best food: gingerbread, fresh out of the oven with a dollop of whipped cream. Mmmmm
Those are super cute! My fav songs are the traditional songs – O Holy Night, Silent Night, etc..and one that is awful but I can never escape is Dominic the Donkey! For foods, we used to have fried oysters every year for Xmas breakfast, they were amazing! Then the family got too big and my husband’s grandmother, who made the oysters, switched to an oyster casserole…the infamous oyster casserole. Ew. Tasted like snot.
First of all your prize offerings are out of this world! I have not been brave enough to tackle oilcloth yet myself! Now on to the dislikes..Please, Please, Please never feed me plum pudding,,,gag! If you want you could just give me a bowel of the hard sauce that goes on top of it…yummy. As to songs if I hear those darn Chipmunks sing another Christmas song I will probably find something very high to jump off of. I on the other hand could listen to Elvis sing Christmas songs LL SAY. tHANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN.
My favorite holiday song is Fairy Tale of New York and my favorite holiday food is stollen. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite holiday food is lefse!

What a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I am not crazy about Christmas music (I know… Bah Humbug!) so it’s kind of all the worst!
The worst Christmas song to me is “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.”
I love most Christmas songs. Disliking one would probably depend on my mood. My favorite is “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.” As far as food, my favorite is my mom’s Red Velvet Cake. My least favorite is green bean casserole.
Maybe I’m just a scuker for the classics, but I don’t tend to like “new” Christmas songs that are written by contemporary artists. When they sing the classics, it’s fine. But most of the new stuff I hear is terrible.
The song that does not make sense is A few of my favorite things. I love the Sound of Music and Julie Andrews, but why oh why is that a Christmas song? Best food is Moms peanut brittle! I hide it from my husband!
best song is silent night 🙂
Best song; O Come O Come Emmanuel Worst song; Madonna’s version of Santa Baby
Best Food; Great Grandma’s Fruit Cake Worst Food; Fried Empanada’s
I was hoping someone would be giving a wallet away. I really want to win this. I love it. I hate anything with coconut in it- so I avoid cookies or candy that look like they may have it. Yuck!
Worst = fruitcake & Santa Baby. *shiver*
peachstateme(at)hotmail(d0t)com
Best food is roast turkey, worst is anything with dried fruit in it (puddings, fruit cake); best song is All I Want for Christmas is You, worst is Jingle Bell Rock
I can’t think of a Christmas song I dislike but one of my favorites is Rocking Around The Christmas Tree. I love to eat pumpkin pie during holiday times.

Your work is wonderful! The worst song is a parady of “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer” titled “Grandma got molested by the TSA”. Same tune, different theme.
Best food? pumpkin pie hands down! Worst song… too many bad renditions of Santa Baby!!
My favorite Christmas song is Spotlight on Christmas by Rufus Wainwright. My favorite food – vegan green bean casserole!
Great Giveaway! I love ALL Christmas music, but I really hate fruitcake!
I love the song “Es ist ein Ros entsprungen” (don’t know the English translation, sorry) and “Silent Night, Holy Night” to get into Christmas mood at the 24th. I’m tired of hearing all the new Chrismas pop songs from November till end of December – everyday the same “Coming home for Chrismas”, “Last Chrismas” etc. I never would eat Christmas carp – I hate the taste of this fish. Lucky me no one at my family likes this food eather:)
Thank you for this nice giveaway and the chance to win.
My best song – Silent Night
Best food – cheese sticks
Thanks for the chance to win ^^v
Wow, this is really a generous giveaway!! I love oilcloth, although I haven’t had much luck sewing with it.
The worst song is “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas”. It’s actually a cute song, but it’s such an earworm. I’ll hum it for weeks!
what a wonderful wallet! I am super excited! Thanks for a great giveaway! I think all christmas songs are a nightmare with the exception of Blue Christmas cause I love elvis and a local groups funny christmas songs, if you wanna check them out they are called Benny Grunch and the Bunch… and they are funny… thanks for a great giveaway!
Beautiful! I’m just making my first project with oilcloth now — will be sure to come back to your site for some tips!!! Two things I’ve never gotten about Christmas: The Carol of the Bells and Mincemeat Pie. WHY???? 🙂
This is very cool!! Looks so pretty!
I spent many Christmasses of my late teen/early 20’s, working in a High St store having to listening to the same Christmas songs over & over again so there are many that I dislike lol. At the top of my dislike list would be “Driving home for Christmas”. However I love anything sung by children and Holy night is my absolute favourite!
such a lovely assortment- i would love the apron for my son and the rest for me! i love your oilcloth work!
my worst song for this season is “last christmas” by wham- so terrible, and yet here i am singing it! the worst! the worst food for me is those cherries in chocolate. i know some love them, but not me!

I like Snoopy vs the Red Baron! My absolute LEAST favorite Christmas song is “Last Christmas”. :p
The oilcloth things are awesome!

“Holly Jolly Christmas” is my least favorite Christmas song, I heard it so much through out the year (my name being Holly) Fudge is my favorite Christmas treat.
hwcutie (at) hotmail (dot) com
I love O Come O Come Emmanuel – both the words and the music. I love all the traditional Christmas hymns. My favorite treat is called Haystacks – large marshmallows, dipped in melted caramel, then rolled in Rice Krispies. My grandma always made these.
Everyone has been asking for Favourites so I am going to go with worst food – I just don’t like Fruit Mince Pies or Christmas Fruit Cake. I know I am probably the only one in the world but they just don’t do it for me.
worse song- “Grandma got ran over by a reindeer” Don’t like it!
Worse food – fruit loaf
Well, best song by far would have to be ‘SIX WHITE BOOMERS’ – well, I am an Aussie!!! The song that makes me cringe each and every time would definitely be any of the Chipmunk versions – feral little critters they are!!!
Favourite food for Xmas – prawns on the BBQ
Lest favourite food for Xmas – those little mince pies!!!
Merry Christmas from Down Under 🙂

xo Steph
worst song… gramma got ran over by a reindeer. i just dont like it… poor gramma

oops, forgot to enter the needed part. I cannot delete my previous post, sorry.
My worst xmas song is sung by jackson 5 “santa claus is coming to town” – my worst food is “brown potatoes” – a danish thing where you put your potatoes in a pan with melted sugar.
Best song is by cliff richard “mistletoe and wine” – aaah, lovely! And food has to be the duck, that is traditional here for christmas eve.
Nice giveaway:)
Ok, my fav song is probably O Holy Night, and although I don’t mind Christmas music with Santa, etc. I don’t really prefer it since it’s not the real meaning of Christmas.

I love “Oh Holy Night” and “Drummer Boy” and sugar cookies are just for christmas in my mind, oh and my FIL peanut butter fudge is soooo good, i need to learn his secret for making it better than anyones….
I hate the Chimpmunks and mincemeat pie. I love all traditional Christmas music and eggnog.
Mince Pies! Love ’em.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Fun question! I love pumpkin pie and hate fruitcake. I love Silent Night and hate Jingle Bells because you hear it everywhere.
White Christmas and peppermint fudge are the best and Domenic the Donkey and egg nog are my least favorite.
Best food is apple and pumpkin pie. Worst song is the traditional 12 days of christmas.
I can not stand Santa Baby! I love Trader Joe’s almond toffee-it is like almond roca but better and kinda addicting. Thanks for the giveaway!
The worst food is easily brussel sprouts euch! The worst song is Fairy tale of new york. But that may just be because I don’t like the male singer. I just find it really grating.
Fun package! Thank you.
The worst song is “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”…it’s so bad I’m sorry I even mentioned it. As for food, I’m not a fan of fruitcake, but it’s better than that song! Love the wallet. Merry Christmas!
