Look who came and sat a spell on Daisy Cottage's front porch! Good old Santa!
He wanted me to ask YOU if you have been naughty or nice....
So....... leave me a comment and let me know and I'll have Santa draw one of your names at midnight on Sunday to win my teeny tiny Christmas giveaway! And yes, even if you have been a bit naughty, you can still win! ;-)
I have found several of these vintage Santa cups and I thought I'd pass one on to you..
And this red and white apron will be tucked inside your box too....
I also thought it would be nice to give away something "green" .....
There will be a few other goodies included too.... so come on, let's play!
Naughty or Nice????????
I've been VERY nice, of course! Just like you!

I always try my best to be nice and I think I succeed most o the time:>).
Janet
PS. Sometimes I wish I were a little naughtie!
Posted by: Janet | December 21, 2007 at 08:22 AM
I'm always nice! :) Oops, there goes my nose - darn that Blue Fairy!
Posted by: Terri | December 21, 2007 at 08:41 AM
a little bit naughtly but mostly nice!
Posted by: Nina | December 21, 2007 at 08:47 AM
Naughty-Nice? Do we really have to put a title on it? I try hard all year long to be good:)
Posted by: Debbie | December 21, 2007 at 08:49 AM
MOSTLY NICE!!!
Posted by: Renee | December 21, 2007 at 08:51 AM
Mostly nice....but sometimes I'm over come by naughty. I try.
Posted by: Linda | December 21, 2007 at 08:52 AM
Hmmm...kind of depends on the day I pick as to Naughty or Nice! Santa has always been very kind to me, though, so I think the NICE wins over!!
By the way, over at our Salvation Army yesterday I saw some little Santa Boots and thought of you and your great collection. I didn't have my camera or would have sent pics. I was afraid that if I bought them and shipped them they would break. It's a long way from AZ to FL!!
May your day be joyful :-)
Posted by: Elizabeth | December 21, 2007 at 08:52 AM
Oh, so NICE!! But maybe a wee bit naughty.
I have a vintage Santa mug and he needs a friend....
Posted by: Laura Lee | December 21, 2007 at 08:55 AM
Kim, I have tried really hard to be nice, but occasionally I can't help but be naughty. But, please enter me in your contest anyway. Your little treasures always intrigue me. Merry Christmas to you!! Cindy
Posted by: | December 21, 2007 at 08:58 AM
Oh what a fun post! I have been oh-so-very nice!
Thank you so much!

I've tried really hard to be nice all of the time, but some of the time with no success :)
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Posted by: jerusalem | December 21, 2007 at 09:10 AM
One reason I love visiting your home is that you're always NICE!
I had a little Santa mug like this when I was a child. A reminder of so many great memories. Thanks!
Posted by: Tricia | December 21, 2007 at 09:12 AM
All I can say is "Santa I can explain!" Ho Ho Ho!! I hope you and your lovely family have a wonderful and blessed Christmas and the New Year brings you all the happiness you bring to so many others. Hugs, Janet
Posted by: Janet K | December 21, 2007 at 09:12 AM
Nice most of the year, but naughty this week in the fact that I have been MAJOR procrastinating and am trying to finish up gifts today for giving tomorrow! :)
Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Valerie | December 21, 2007 at 09:15 AM
I think I have been a happy combination of the two. I have to say though, nice wants the mug and naughty wants the apron.lol
Love your blog, read it everyday.
Posted by: Vickie | December 21, 2007 at 09:19 AM
Well.... I try to be nice... But I must admit I have a friend who always tells me...
"Be good! And if you can't be good... Be careful!" :o)
Posted by: Nicole | December 21, 2007 at 09:21 AM
I've been both but working on NICE more! Thank you for the chance! Jennifer
Posted by: Jennifer | December 21, 2007 at 09:24 AM
I've been very nice LOL. Just popped in to wish you a Merry Christmas.
Take care.
Love Elzie
Posted by: Elzie | December 21, 2007 at 09:25 AM
Santa is watching so I'll say I have been nice! Nice, nice, nice! Maybe one or two incidents of naughty but over the span of an entire year that is really minimal!
You are a doll! If I win will you include Maggie too, please ?
Posted by: Brooke | December 21, 2007 at 09:26 AM
Include me in Kim,Like most of the others I try my best to maintain nice,but naughty creeps in now and then ;)
Posted by: Carol | December 21, 2007 at 09:26 AM
I have been mostly nice, well I think so anyway. I love gingham, I made an apron at school (years ago) that was blue gingham and I loved it. Sadly, I got rid of it at some point.
Posted by: Tonya | December 21, 2007 at 09:30 AM
I have been nice and it would be nice to have that mug to go with a vintage santa pitcher I have...
Posted by: Nonie | December 21, 2007 at 09:32 AM
I hope I have been nice all year. I guess I will find out once Santa visits... lol
Posted by: D'Rae | December 21, 2007 at 09:36 AM
Merry Christmas Kim! I think I have been nice but I may have had a few naughty moments :)
Posted by: Erin | December 21, 2007 at 09:39 AM
I try to be nice... Does that count?
Merry Christmas Kim!
Posted by: Kellie | December 21, 2007 at 09:59 AM
I've been 73 and 1/2 percent NICE...I really can't account for the other 'not so nice' time!! ROFL Happy Holidays!! Please tell Santa to pick my name from the hat/cup/bowl/basket...oh from whatever all of these names are in!! LOL
Posted by: Angie | December 21, 2007 at 10:00 AM

Nice,ofcourse. Hopefully everyone would say that.
Posted by: Teresa Alber | December 21, 2007 at 10:27 AM
I've been naughty and nice. Santa looks so cute sitting on your porch.
Posted by: Dawn | December 21, 2007 at 10:28 AM
The Santa mug brings back memories - we drank out of the identical ones at my grandma's - her collection is now mine. Thank you for bringing back great memories :)! (And I am a little naughty and a little nice - I like a nice balance.)
Posted by: Carrie | December 21, 2007 at 10:28 AM
Hmm, let me think about that one. I'd say mostly nice but really naughty when it comes to buying fabric and patterned paper.
Happy holidays!
Posted by: Lisa | December 21, 2007 at 10:36 AM
Naughty in the nicest way...
Posted by: Teresa @ PlumWater Cottage | December 21, 2007 at 10:36 AM
KIm.....I like most have tried so very hard to be nice all year long. But, like my 5 year old son says.....It is such a loooooong time!!! So, to be honest, there were, I am sure, a few naughty moments. LOVE Daisy Cottage all decorated!!!!
Posted by: Andrea | December 21, 2007 at 10:37 AM
Nice always......lol... I have been taking the time to be extra kind to strangers this Season....sometimes thay are quite shocked....everyone slow down and enjoy the small things today......
Peace and Goodwill to all
Posted by: sharron | December 21, 2007 at 10:39 AM
Santa Baby, I've been nice and naughty. You're looking hot sitting there on Daisy Cottage's porch. No! I mean literally hot. A Santa suit and beard in Fla. must make one pretty toasty.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway, Kim. You are very generous to share your treasures.
Posted by: Susan Ramey Cleveland | December 21, 2007 at 10:40 AM
Do you even need to ask?? of course, I've been very good, LOL. I'd love to win your giveaway, Ms. Kim!
Christmas hugs,
Rhoda
Posted by: Rhoda | December 21, 2007 at 10:40 AM
Nice, most of the time :) I've been reading for a while, but this is the first time commenting. I live not too far from you near Tampa. I love your style but I'm hopeless when it comes to decorating :(
Posted by: Christena | December 21, 2007 at 10:41 AM
I've tried my very best to be nice!
Posted by: Rachael S. | December 21, 2007 at 10:43 AM
Oh, I sure have tried to be good. Looks like Santa really has some nice goodies.
Have a Very Merry Christmas. Hope Santa is good to you.

Posted by: Judy | December 21, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Oooh, what a fun give-away at Christmas!!!
I'm nice cuz I am buying gifts and naughty cuz I am wanting gifts!!! Is that wrong?!!
Posted by: linda t | December 21, 2007 at 10:50 AM
I've been terribly naughty but I'd like to be entered anyway. :)
tee hee!
Posted by: Tracey | December 21, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Kim...truthfully I've been soooo good, I'm exhausted!!!! Yes, I've been a very very good DAUGHTER this year! Ha, I love your giveaway, the plate is just precious - and well I'm certainly in NEED of an apron. And is that your hubby dressed as Santa? WOW - what a wonderful wonderful picture!!!
Hugs,
Rose
(Even if I don't win, Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family, and THANK YOU for a wonderful blogging year!)

I've been just a wee bit naughty, but would love to eat some cookies off the green plate and hold the darling mug close while making some cocoa while wearing the darling apron!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Kim!

I've been nice with just enough naughty thrown in to have some fun!
Love that adorable apron!
Posted by: Emily | December 21, 2007 at 11:28 AM
I got a review at work last night and they think I'm nice. LOL
Santa looks perfect at Daisy Cottage!
Posted by: Karen | December 21, 2007 at 11:35 AM
I am good most days! Can't lie to Santa, right?
Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Patti | December 21, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Dear Santa,
I have been a really good girl this year and I hope that I win the very special gift that "Daisy Cottage" is giving away this year. But if I don't , you know what they say "maybe next year". Have a happy holiday.
Posted by: Kaye | December 21, 2007 at 12:12 PM
I'm hoping my name is on Santa's NICE list this year...I have been trying awfully hard! Merry Christmas to all y'all!
Posted by: Katie | December 21, 2007 at 12:18 PM
Oh, that's a hard choice - sometimes a teensy bit naughty- but mostly nice. Especially in December! Momma didn't raise a dummy here!
Colleen
Posted by: Colleen | December 21, 2007 at 12:22 PM
Oh Santa, I have really tried and think I have been more nice than naughty! I used to have a Santa mug just like that when I was a little girl!
Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Sue | December 21, 2007 at 12:22 PM

Oh, I'm always nice. *wink*
Posted by: Katie | December 21, 2007 at 01:12 PM
Great giveaway, Kim! I love every single thing about it and the jolly old elf on your front porch!!
I did a post about a very vintage card etc, today. It's a bit nostalgic and I was a bit tearful writing it. You might like it!
Merry Christmas!
Pat and family
Posted by: Pat | December 21, 2007 at 01:20 PM
I must say I am nice most of the time, or I try to be. However, I bet it would be a lot of fun to be naughty every now & again!!
Posted by: Tina McNamara | December 21, 2007 at 01:26 PM
Nice, of course! I've been reading your blog for a few months and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to drop by and tell you how much I enjoy the pictures and stories. Your home is lovely and I had a dachsund named Gretchen growing up, so seeing Maggie brings back great memories for me. Merry Christmas!

I've been mostly nice, but I think I would have had a lot more fun if I had been a little more naughty.
That Santa cup would look so nice next to the lonely one I found at the thrift store last week. hint, hint LOL
