Here’s everything you’ll find if you win one of my 12 Stockings of Christmas:
Balsam Hill has been the leading retailer of highly realistic artificial Christmas trees and holiday décor for over a decade. I always find something wonderful to add to my 12 Stockings of Christmas!
Last year they launched their most realistic artificial tree yet, the Balsam Hill Fraser Fir, with 40 different tip variations replicating what you would find in nature. It was only after mine had been up for nearly 2 months did folks start to question how my gorgeous tree was staying so fresh looking!
In addition to everything you could possibly need to get your home into the holiday spirit; signature trees, elegant ornament sets, wreaths, swags, garlands, sprays, picks, ribbons, bows, and flickering flameless candles, they also have a multitude of timeless décor options for other seasons! When the holidays are over, be sure to check out their spring floral collection and their fall foliage and décor items.
Balsam Hill is a company that always gives back to their community, and they are very supportive of my foundation, Point Hope, for which I am eternally grateful!
This year I am adding their 12-piece French Country ornament set to my gift pile. Inspired by antique French baubles, these glass ornaments are reminiscent of the subtlety and sophistication of French design. Each piece is handcrafted from thick mercury glass and comes in a variety of finishes that add texture and contrast to your holiday decorations. They will add sparkle and an understated elegance to your tree!

This year my kids and I discovered Annie’s Kit Clubs and loved them so much I’ve included a one year subscription in my 12 Stockings of Christmas give-away!
Kit’s from Annie’s provide a much-needed break from school work and screen time, and the kids get a great sense of satisfaction completing each new project. Annie’s is a subscription service; after signing up, new craft kits are sent each and every month. It’s always a happy day when there’s an Annie’s package in the mail!
There are subscriptions tailored to a huge variety of skills and interests and many seasonal projects too; textiles, knitting & crocheting, paper crafts, beading & jewelry, and Paul Adam’s favorite, the Young Woodworkers Club.

“A Sentimental Christmas with Nat King Cole and Friends”, is a special addition to my 12 Stocking of Christmas gift collection. I’m adding both the CD, and, for a touch of nostalgia, the vinyl album, to my fully stuffed stockings.
It’s a very special album that features reimagined versions of his classic songs, and new duets with some of today’s biggest stars - all possible through the magic of modern technology. Favorites include Nat’s recording of “The Christmas Song”, with the addition of John Legend, “The Very Thought of You”, with Kristin Chenoweth, “O Holy Night”, with Calum Scott, and 8 more timeless Christmas classics.
“Sentimental Christmas with Nat King Cole and Friends”, will make a lovely Christmas gift for young and old.

I’ve discovered a great line of footwear and I’m thrilled to share them as a new 12 Stockings of Christmas gift! I’m slipping a gift card for LAMO Footwear into each of my 12 stockings this year.
LAMO is a heritage brand that’s been around for over 25 years. They have everything from boots, to slip-on’s, to slippers, footwear for every member of the family for all 365 days of the year! I wear mine around the house and around the farm; they’re super cozy, comfy and oh-so stylish.

Soulful songstress, Norah Jones, has created her very first holiday album ever! “I Dream of Christmas”, includes 13 tracks in all, 6 of them brand-new original pieces. What a lovely surprise this is! I had to add autographed copies to my 12 Stockings of Christmas!
I was able to sit down with Norah for a long lovely chat that you can listen to on my podcast, LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah. We both profess our love for Christmas music all year long, and we talk about our favorites from the album. “Christmas Calling” was the single released ahead of the album and Norah confesses that of all the new music, she has a particular fondness for this one. I have my own favorite - you’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out which it is. (But let me say, I see MANY dedications in it’s future!)
While the album is imbued with the mellow, melancholy sound of Norah, it’s also warm, welcoming, and brimming with belief in all that is good and hopeful. The best news? It’s available RIGHT NOW!
Dream a little dream with Norah. It’s a must have for every music person on your list.
I DREAM OF CHRISTMAS

My 12 Stockings of Christmas Sweepstakes is about sharing wonderful discoveries. One this year is Fishpatrick’s, fresh, flavorful albacore tuna from my hometown on the Oregon Coast! Each of my gift packs will include a sampling of their 4 fabulous flavors!
“Fishpatrick” has been a fisherman and respected business owner for over 20 years. He and his family are known for providing great customer service and for their product’s top-quality flavor and freshness! Fishpatrick’s canned albacore is a specialty gourmet food that you and your family are going to love as much as me and mine!
They offer 4 canned albacore products. Salt Free, Sea Salt Added, Garlic Jalapeño, and Smoked. Salt Free is simply a nice chunk of albacore in the can, (no water or oil is ever added to any of their BPA-free cans.) Sea Salt Added has a small pinch for a hint of additional flavor. Garlic Jalapeño is very mild with a dash of sea salt, granulated garlic, and fresh jalapeño. And the Smoked is marinated with kosher salt, brown sugar and spices, then lightly kippered with kiln dried alder.
It all comes directly from the fisherman to you for the best price and the best quality. Purchase a gift pack, or buy it by the case to enjoy all year long. (Make sure to share with appreciative family and friends!)
FISHPATRICK’S
I love tea and the calm, soothing feeling that comes with every sip, so I’m welcoming Bigelow Tea back into my 12 Stockings of Christmas gift package with a generous sampling of their wonderful brews!
I’m sure you know Bigelow from their signature blend, “Constant Comment”, the original recipe that started it all. To this day it’s blended only by someone with the Bigelow last name and remains a closely guarded family secret. Cindi Bigelow, third generation President and CEO, joined me recently on my podcast series, and shared the fascinating Bigelow story - Listen In!
Bigelow has expanded far beyond their original recipe and now produces an abundance of flavorful blends. Their Bigelow Benefits is a wonderful line of teas that support everyday wellness, body and mind. Benefits features blends like Lemon & Echinacea, supporting the immune system, and Lavender & Chamomile, to help with sleep. With many delicious flavors, Benefits uplift, relax, and help reduce stress. There’s a perfect cup for any time of day.
Staying hydrated this holiday season is important too! Try the new Bigelow Botanicals Cold Water Infusion, it’s a new way to love your water. Flavors like Watermelon Cucumber Mint infuse in cold water, for a simple and refreshing way to achieve daily hydration. Zero calories. No artificial anything.
I could go on and on; I think Bigelow has a tea for everything!
BIGELOW TEAS
My 12 Stockings of Christmas just aren’t complete until I’ve added my favorite candy, Almond ROCA, the sweetest gift of all! Almond ROCA is the Christmas candy of my youth, and I believe every Christmas stocking should include some of those classic gold-foil-wrapped pieces - so I’ll be sure to add more than a few to the 12 I’m giving away!
Every batch is made with rich creamy butter, California almonds, and the best quality chocolate! The ROCA selection is large! Almond, Cashew, Dark Chocolate, Sea Salt Caramel, Peppermint, and Mocha - They’ve even added Extra Dark ROCA, to their list of sweet treats.
I love giving and getting Brown & Haley confections the whole year through. Everyone should try the new ROCA bites that come in several delectable flavors. They’re just the right size to slip into those holiday stockings that have been hung by the chimney with care. (And to carry with you for some self-indulgence while out running holiday errands.)
