Yes, yes, yes, the time has come around again for my Christmas Giveaway! Yay :-) As most of you will know I normally do a kind of advent giveaway, this year is similar but I have changed it up slightly- just to keep things fun!
This year I have chosen 12 gifts (some contain two little gifts combined, and some are a it bigger- so don't worry there is not less prize because it is only 12 parcels :P) One for each of the 12 days of Christmas! Then I started thinking, when actually are the 12 days of Christmas? The first 12 days of December, the 12 days before Christmas day? I don't actually know! Haha, that is why instead of writing 1, 2, 3 etc... on the wrapped gifts as I normally would I have instead decided to leave it up to the winner, they can select what surprise they want to open and also their own 12 days they want to open them on to make it most fun for them :-)
Here are all the little wrapped gifts:
As usual each one has a festive and crafty theme (so that you can put them to good use in your holiday knitting, sewing, crochet, cross stitch etc... projects :).
The Giveaway is open to anyone, any age, anywhere and all you have to do to enter is:
1. Be a follower (or become one :-)
2. And then leave a comment below containing some way to contact you if you win (e.g. a blog address, Ravelry name etc...)
And if you want a second entry.....
..... all you have to do is put up a link to this post, or my new folksy shop on your blog, or facebook page etc... and leave a link to the post in your comment below :D
**********
Entries close on the evening of the 22nd of November and the winner will be announced then as well.
Goooood luck to everyone!!! :)

DeleteCount me in so much fun and just for info:
ReplyDeleteThe Twelve Days of Christmas are the festive days beginning Christmas Day (25 December). This period is also known as Christmastide and Twelvetide. The Twelfth Night of Christmas is always on the evening of 5 January, but the Twelfth Day can either precede or follow the Twelfth Night according to which Christian tradition is followed.Twelfth Night is followed by the Feast of the Epiphany on 6 January. In some traditions, the first day of Epiphany (6 January) and the twelfth day of Christmas overlap.
Day 1, 25 December: Christmas Day.
Day 2, 26 December: St. Stephen's Day. This day is mentioned in the carol "Good King Wenceslas". Boxing Day, a non-religious banking holiday occurs on the first day following Christmas. In Ireland this day is also known as Wren Day.
Day 3, 27 December: Feast of saint John the Evangelist and Apostle.
Day 4, 28 December: The Feast of the Holy Innocents, the young male children ordered murdered in Bethlehem by King Herod, according to the Gospel of Matthew. The traditional Christmas song "The Coventry Carol" describes this event.
Day 5, 29 December: The feast day of Saint Thomas Becket.
Day 6, 30 December: The feast of the Holy Family.
Day 7, 31 December: The feast of Saint Sylvester. In Scotland this day is known as Hogmanay. In Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and Slovenia, New Years Eve is still referred to as Silvester.
Day 8, 1 January: The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. Before the Second Vatican Council, it was also observed as the Feast of the Holy Circumcision of Jesus.
Day 9, 2 January: Octave day of St. Stephen or the feast day of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory Nazianzen. In England, the Lichfield Martyrs are also celebrated on this day.
Day 10, 3 January: Feast of Saint Genevieve or the most holy name of Jesus.
Day 11, 4 January: The octave day of the feast of the Holy Innocents or the feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American saint. In medieval times this was The feast of Saint Simon Stylites.
Day 12, 5 January: In the UK this was the Feast of St. Edward the Confessor, King of England. The rest of Europe feasted St. Julian the Hospitaller on this day. The modern church recognizes this as the feast day of St. John Neumann. The evening of the 5 January is also Twelfth Night.
