I do a TON of shopping for soap supplies online and eBates lets you get rebates at nearly every major online retailer, including Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. I literally save money just by opening up a tab in my browser via their link. I have already received a check from them within the first month so I just thought I would let you guys know about this since we soap makers and DIYers buy so much online! Plus, it's free! Yippee! :D

Whenever Caleb and I travel, we try our best to stay in Airbnbs. It's WAY cheaper than getting hotels and are often more personalized, comfy, and unique. We literally have stayed in absolutely amazing, private homes for $35 a night! You can use the link below to get $40 travel credit when you sign up. :)

[@kubrakubra875]

Once my parents bought soap that looked like cupcakes and we had guests over and their kid went to the washroom, then he comes back with the soap and a sour look on his face ( he ate it). They brought the poor child to the hospital. I kinda feel bad for laughing 😅💀

Wish we could see your mom's reaction to this gingerbread house. It's beautiful! This is the first year I haven't seen either of my parents on Christmas. My boyfriend's mom is...incredibly sick and this is likely her last Christmas (but absolutely praying for a miracle), so we are with his family. Did get to see my mom this past weekend which was nice. Still feels weird to not be back in Tennessee with my parents.

[@tammiesue4196]

ziggythebard oh I agree! I was so hoping the end would have been some footage of the queen’s reaction!

[@alisonn5347]

Hope your boyfriend’s mom gets to be around for many more Christmases to come! I know how it feels to have a relative who is sick on Christmas. My grandma had stage 3 cancer when she was 60. Doctors told her she would likely have one Christmas left. Now she is 70, cancer free, and going stronger than ever! Miracles happen! Wishing your family love and luck!

[@kendallgibson]

​ Alison N I hope so. :( She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer back in January. Chemo worked some wonders this summer, but it's looking like it's back and really, really bad. They called hospice today. But still... it feels like there's a lot of information that we haven't gotten, so... there's definitely a part of me still really hoping that they realize they missed something. I don't know. It just sucks so much. That's amazing about your grandmother though! I'm glad she's doing well! That's incredible and so fantastic! Happy holidays to you and yours!

My family always makes Buckeyes which is an Ohio candy made to look like the actual nut. They're essentially peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate, so good. Well this year, I moved to Australia to be with my fiance and I brought that tradition with me. They're a big hit with his family.

I've actually adopted some new traditions this year. My mother in law passed away on Memorial Day. So I've made her stuffing, and each year we're going to buy a box each of See's Candy (soooooooo goooood) to open on Christmas. We open one Christmas present on Christmas Eve, and the rest in the morning. Christmas pjs are required, for after present opening, we clean up the paper, all camp out in the living room and eatch Christmas movies or play video games. Christmas breakfast is cooked and is generally a much bigger deal than Christmas Dinner. Next year I hope to go Christmas lights viewing, and decorate the outside of the house. Thanks for a wonderful soapmas this year Royalty Soaps. It's been such a pleasure this month. Happy Holidays and a blessed New Year to y'alls family.

[@SakuraKuromi]

as for my families Christmas traditions: When I was younger, I was part of the church's kid and teen choir and we always had to sing in church during Christmas eve. So we only gave our presents after I came back from church. (My mother can't enter a church without crying after her grandmother died and my grandmother would prepare dinner while my grandfather would decorate the Christmastree with my 11 years younger brother. When I came back, we had coffee and "Christstollen". It's a german Christmas food, but I don't like the ones you can buy. My grandmother makes one for each of us each year. Like I don't eat raisins and my grandmother uses curd/quark for the batter and it's so tasty with the coffee - not like the ones you buy, that taste like dry fruit cakes with sugar xD After we gave each other our gifts, we have dinner together. The next day, we have Lunch together (There's not enough place for all of us to stay overnight, so I have to go home and come back the next day) and just spent the day, talking, drinking coffee, eating "Weihnachtsplätzchen" (Christmas... cookies?) and the "Christstollen". We don't do anything really special. It's just that we eat the same food each year (Except me - I'm a vegeterian, so I don't eat the duck on the 25. or the sausage on christmas eve - but I eat everything else. Like the potatp salad or the potato dumplings and Red Cabbage.

You're so gonna love Ovo. I took my Mom last year - front row VIP of course, because she's special. A truly magical experience.

My Christmas tradition is on Christmas Eve we go to my Aunts house with all of the family. Been doing it since I was a baby

It looks like chocolate, and I want to eat it.
