With the holidays fast approaching things are going to start getting hectic!
You know what I am talking about, the running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to buy all of the gifts, mail the Christmas cards, plan and make all of the abundant food for both Thanksgiving and Christmas - it can get beyond overwhelming!
Every year I always feel like I am in and out of my car, driving more than I usually do all year just to make sure that I have everything I need to make the holiday season worth remembering.
I will be the first to tell you that I LOVE the Thanksgiving to Christmas season, just the spirit in the air and the Hallmark Channel movies on the TV give me such a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.
But one of the things I can't stand during the holidays is spending so much money on gas because I am trying to get everything I need, and with my mommy brain I have a tendency to go to the store, shop and then on my way home remember a few things I forgot to pick up!
And when you live 15-20 minutes away from the mall forgetting something can get pretty pricy on the gas tank.
I know I am not the only one who does this, so Faith In Every Day has partnered with Sunoco to giveaway to one of our loyal readers a $25 dollar gas card because Sunoco knows just how busy this season is for us!
With gas prices as expensive as they are this gas card would definitely come in handy!
And they make great gifts too!

I absolutely love watching the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies, and I'm Jewish, but they are very warm and fuzzy. I tend to go with the flow with all holidays, just don't want to get too stressed and enjoy the moment. I am beyond thankful for my entire family, but this year, my husband in particular. He's my world and greatest supporter, I love him more than words can express!!
ReplyDeleteI agree I definitely don't want to get too stressed during the holidays! Luckily when it comes to the parties and get togethers we go to our parents or siblings houses!
DeleteMake sure you enter the giveaway!! :)
I am grateful for those who see the need to stop and pray for me even when they are filled with a life of trials at present.
ReplyDeleteYes! The love of others shines bright when they care and pray for you! Such a wonderful thing to have!
DeleteI'm always grateful for my son - he's just such a sweet little boy and keeps me grounded and helps me to remember to enjoy the simple things in life :)
ReplyDeleteAw! How old is your son?! My little boy is such a light in my life :)
DeleteI try to slow it down during the holidays. Simplify shopping and have it done by Thanksgiving. Plus I like to enjoy the moments of being at home with my family. Baking, watching movies, and playing games.
ReplyDeleteDo you host holidays at your home? I love baking and snuggling up to movies during the holidays too, it is such a wonderful time!
DeleteI tend to just go with the flow otherwise I'll just stress myself out. With two kids and several Christmas' to get to, I know everything won't go as planned.
ReplyDeleteI love reading Christmas stories to my babies and sharing the true meaning of Christmas with them.
haha yes! I know exactly what you mean, nothing ever goes as planned so why stress?!
DeleteI bet your children really enjoy the stories, I know it was one of my fondest memories growing up!
awesome giveaway! This is my first year as an official stay at home mom, so I am unbelievably grateful for that opportunity :) It is a dream come true.
ReplyDeleteYay! That is wonderful thing to be thankful for! It truly is an amazing gift!
DeleteI'm a professional event planner, so I don't get stressed out by the holidays (it's like another event!!) but I do start prepping way in advance. My husband and I are hosting a Christmas brunch the weekend before Christmas for our friends and neighbors and I'm already planning out the menu!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thats sounds like such a fun job! I haven't been able to plan many events other than my sons birthdays but hopefully I will be able to host parties when we get our own house! (Though I am sure they wouldn't be up to the caliber of an event planner!)
DeleteOh I wish we had this store here in my city! I lurve me some iTunes gift cards!
ReplyDeleteYes! iTunes gift cards are amazing because you can buy books music etc! Love them!
DeleteI am thankful for my amazing family and for all of them and myself being healthy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great thing to be thankful for! Especially as we enter cold season, I know my little guy is getting over a head cold -- which has its plus side, Lots of Cuddles!
DeleteI'm thankful I live 160 miles away from anywhere with discount warehouses and malls. This whole shopping thing during the holidays has become madness. Good luck and enjoy the holidays!
ReplyDeleteThats a long drive!, do you do your Christmas shopping online?
DeleteSoo thankful for my sweet family! Great giveaway your offering :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so useful especially during this traveling season!
DeleteI'm grateful for the health of my friends and family!!
ReplyDeleteSo important! I hope you get to spend a lot of time with them this holiday season! :)
DeleteI am thankful for God's faithfulness in my life and the life of my family. We are intentional about keeping Christ in Christmas and follow an advent devotional. That helps us prepare room for Him in our hearts. We love doing a thanksgiving tree where each day we write what we are thankful for and paste it or hang it to a branch.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful ways to keep the true reason of the season in perspective! We have a we are thankful for sign right now, and will be doing lessons on the Birth of Jesus this year! :)
DeleteI know it shouldn't be all about money, but I'm grateful that my husband is able to moonlight this year. He's a medical resident and it's nice to finally have a little bit of extra money to spend on the kids for the holidays. I'm usually a planner and like to have everything laid out, but things don't always go according to plan (especially with my husband's schedule). Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand! We have had some unexpected bills so it has been nice my hubby has the ability to take overtime to help us stay out of debt!
DeleteI love this time of year I love snuggling on the couch in my big flannel pjs near the fireplace watching the Hallmark Channel and eating lots of not so healthy food using the excuse that I'll eat better come the New Year! I am grateful for many things first of all that my husband is alive and doing well and second that my oldest children will be visiting for the holidays and third that my little boy is such a loving little boy ! But, most of all I am thankful to be blessed with my health , my family and friends!
ReplyDeleteThose are great things to be thankful for, I bet you are excited that your children will be visiting for the holidays! Nothing like being all together for Christmas! PJs + Fire Place+ Hallmark Channel+ Hot Chocolate is the best!!
DeleteI'm grateful for Love!
ReplyDeleteLove is a powerful and wonderful thing! :)
DeleteWho can't use a gas card:) I think is a great idea
ReplyDeleteI know right?! :) Make sure to enter!
DeleteWe try to be careful about not planning too many events or parties so we aren't overwhelmed. We decide up front how much we will spend on gifts. We try to plan down-time as a family to relax and enjoy the season. Favorite thing about Thanksgiving is connecting with family. Favorite thing about Christmas is celebrating the birth of our savior, Jesus!
