*Updated with Winners*
Y'all know I love decorating my casa.
I mean, seriously, if you squeezed all the orange in my house, it would provide all the people inTexas, juice.
Because my pumpkins? Lo, they are many.
When people walk into my home, I want them to feel welcome. I want my home to speak to them by the words they see "Rejoice" and "Laugh" and "Blessings."
I love for my decor to have meaning.
I have antique photos of my hubby's great great great relatives adorning my walls.
I have a wooden cross that I bought in the hospital gift shop on Christmas Day three years ago when my third child lived in the NICU for nearly a month.
And during the upcoming season, when Christ is only found the in first part of the popular holiday word Christmas, I want my home to reflect my faith.
I want people to remember The Greatest Gift.
Jesus.

I would want to display the sign out in front of the house so many people would see it. Guests and passers by.
I would use it as a tree top ornament! :)
I would either hang it on my front door...uncharted territory as far as decor goes, or would hang it in my children's bedroom; I want to make it festive, and to teach them to keep their hearts focused on Jesus through the holiday season! :)
I would display it outside for all to see!
sbfinnegan@yahoo.com
I love your idea of hanging it in front of a mirror. I hang mine on my mirror above my staircase so that it would catch the reflection of the lights on the banister. What a fantastic reminder!
We're pretty pumpkin-y around here, too! :)
I have the perfect place right on the front door with a fresh wreath so that all can see!!
I would please it over the mantel mirror surrounded by fresh greens--- great give away
I would put that sign right on my mantle because it is gorgeous and speaks right to my heart.
I love the way it looks hanging on the mirror~I think I could do that!
I would hang it on my mirror in the front entryway. I love the sign and it's sentiment!
I love it! I'd make sure to have it outside, the first thing everyone would notice.
I love it! I'd make sure to have it outside, the first thing everyone would notice.
I think I would try to put right by the Christmas tree because the kids love to sit and look at it when it is up but I really like how it looks on your front door...hopefully I will win so I have to choose where it looks best :)
Oh I would definitely put that on my front door with a wreath around it. SO pretty!
Oh my gosh...I LOVE that sign! I would hang it in my dining room where we eat each of our meals to remind us why we celebrate Christmas. But, I do love the above idea of using it as a tree topper ornament!
I am a Sunday School teacher and though I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to keep it and hang it on my front porch on a gorg wreath, I would give it to one of our church families. Are you sure you won't give away 2?? :)
I would hang it on my front door for all the world to see! Love it!
I would definitely display it on my front door. To be a reminder for all who enter...including ME...that JESUS is the greatest gift!!!
I would display my sign in my classroom. I teach middle school science and like to remind my super cool teenagers about what life is all about. The sign would look really nice hanging on the front door of my room.
I really like the one in the wreath, I have a red door and needing a new wreath this year, this would be too cute.
I love it on the mirror. I'd have to try that.
It would HAVE to go on our front door, for everyone to see!
Super cute! I'd want it on my entry way door.
I love the sign!! I would hang it on my front door!!! I also LOVE the red cookie plate with Jesus is the Gift! It would be a great reminder placed above my dining room table!!! :)
I would display it on our front door wreath, so everyone coming into our home would see it!
I would put that sign my front door! I love it!!
I would say I'd hang it on my front door, but no one ever uses it. So I would have to display it on the back door through which everyone comes to my home.
Thanks for the chance.
I love the idea of putting it on my wreath... that way you didn't actually have to be inside my home to see it :)
I love the sign hung on the front door with the wreath! Beautiful!
I love how you put it into a wreath! I would have to get a new wreath... but it would be worth it! Or I'd hang it on the wall with all of my Christmas plates, to bring the real reason for Christmas to the forefront.
I would like to use it as a wreath ornament on the door just like yours!
I love the green she used to give this piece a fresh look! I think I would put it inside, maybe on the mantel or in a large plate- holder -type- easel -thing
and really make it a focal point. Love it...thanks for sharing!
RIght outside the door!
I would hang mine above my mantle since that is the first thing you see when you come in the house. Plus, our front door opens into our den so it's where our family spends most of our time so we would have a wonderful reminder front and center!
on my mirror in the guest bathroom where lots of friends visit :) Love it.
This would look perfect on our mantle! Thanks for the giveaway. :)
I think I would put it on my door for all who come in to be reminded. It's great. Thanks for the giveaway!

XoxoGapGirl

I love it in the middle of the wreath. It would be right there on our front door.

I adore all things Dayspring! This is an adorable sign and I would either hang it right next to my front door, above the buzzer, or put it in the grouping on my mantle!
You are such a blessing and I love your blog (I haven't commented in a while and thought you should know that!)
This sign would look great in one of our urns by the front door! What a great (and festive!) giveaway!
Thanks!
Cynthia
This is a beautiful sign!! I would put it on the outside of my house right by the front door so that all who enter would see it and have time to ponder the words while they wait for someone to answer the door. Have a wonderful day!
wow- that sign is amazing! I would put it in my family room so we could see it every day!
I would put it on my mantle! I love the green color!
I would put the sign at the top of our Christmas tree as our topper. :)
oooh, I just love this sign and could think of so many places to put it for all to see. I love all the other daysspring christmas items. Just beautiful!
I would place it right beside the front door for all to see when they came to visit.
I would love this to hang from my mantle! Thanks for the chance!
That sign would look great on my front door! I also have a perfect spot on the wall where it could hang if the door doesn't work out. :)
I love Christ. I love Christmas. I love home decor. I love Day Spring. I love this sign!
I would put it on my front door for everyone to see & be reminded of the reason for the season.
The sign is beautiful! I would incorporate it into the decor on my mantle. I think it would go very well with the fresh greenery swag and tall vases of white ornaments that I usually use.
I love it :)
I think I would put it in my kitchen because that's where everyone that comes to my house ends up and that's where they'd see it.
I would hang it on our mailbox so that everyone that passed by our house or drove into our driveway knew the real meaning of Christmas!
I would definately use it as an door hanger!
It would go on the mantle in our living room, where we would see it every day and be reminded!
I would definitely put in on my wreath for the front door. I love the sign!
We have a beautiful home to decorate this year and, for once, I'm actually looking forward to decorating for the holidays. I'm normally a scrooge of sorts because Christmas has become so commercial. I want my family to remember the real reason for the season. This sign would be a great addition. It would definitely be a part of my decorating. It would be either on the tree or on the front door.
I'd use it in my front garden or on the front porch!
I would put in the middle of my wreath and hang it on my garage door. It would compliment my decorations wonderfully.
I would put it beside my from door for all to see as they enter.. another choice might be on the fireplace in our family room...thanks!
I would use the sign to decorate my front porch entryway.
I would display this sign beside my television in my family room as a constant reminder during this very commercialized season. Love their products and LOVE your blog.
Wow- how fitting! This is my mission for the Christmas season... to make it more about Christ and less about...other stuff. What a great sign! I woudl definitly use it on my front door so that all who enter would know the Truth. Jesus is the Gift!
Thanks for such a great give away!
this sign is really cute! I would probably give it to my mother in law cause she would love it!! and than I would buy myself one and stick it in our front yard tree garden.
Wow!! I love this sign!! I would put it on my front door either hanging in front of my wreath or in a flower pot!! I LOVE IT!!!
What a great message about Christmas! SO TRUE!
The sign is cute but I love the red plate with John 3:16 around the edge!
I might hang it over my kitchen sink/window.
Love it! I think I would display it on a wreath probably on my entrance door.
I think I would put it on my mantle as the centerpiece and surround it with candles and greenery.
OR I would put it on my entryway table above the nativity scene for all to see when they walked in.
Angie
I love your idea of putting it on a wreath for the front door. Why don't you just come and decorate my entire house, Kristen?
Like you said, so many possibilities! I would probably stick in my large flower pot on the front porch. Thanks for the giveaway, hope to win :)
I love the sign from Dayspring. I'd love to hang it on the front door, or on a mini-garden hook next to the front porch. It's definitely a statement piece, and one I'd love others to see often.
I would love to put this front and center on my front door. I love how you paired it with a wreath. Beautiful.
I also love the Tree to Cross print.
the3welshs@msn.com
Cute Cute sign! I would put it beside my front porch next to my banner.
I would place it in the middle of my large pink wreath my girlfriend made for me before she passed on. We both fought cancer but sadly she did not make it.
I love how you hung it over a mirror. I would do that!
I love it! I would for sure put it in my flower garden around my tree in the front yard!
Love how it looks on the mirror, but I'm probably going to hang it in the wreath on my red front door! Thank you so much!!
betty.chet@gmail.com
It would go great with the Round Top Collection gifts and Santa Bag that I put in the yard! deannp96@hotmail.com
I really like how you have it displayed on the wreath, but we don't have a tree topper so I might try it there also.
Love that sign!! I would hang it on my back door...the one everyone enters.
I would display it above my kitchen sink where I send alot of time. This would be a beautiful sign for anywhere.
I think I would hang that sign in my front room where the tree resides, to help my kids remember the true gift of Christmas. I love it!
I have the perfect spot on our porch for this sign that everyone would be able to see. I love it!
It would definitely go on the front door with a beautiful wreath to remind not only our neighbors and friends who come to visit, but to remind us every day of what the meaning of the Christmas season is really about.
I would put it on the entrance table with my 3 mini treese :)
eod_army_wife04(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would use it outside in the flower bed, so everyone could see it. I love it!!
I'm thinking a major spot on the tree or on the door. . .I JUST LOVE IT!
I would use the sign as the centerpiece of the wreath on my front door.
I would put this sign in our front planter bed--for all the world to see (okay, well maybe just my neighbors)--to proclaim that Jesus is the true gift of Christmas!
I would prop this under my tree and it would be the ONLY gift under the tree until Christmas morning and then it would be moved to the front of all the other gifts. We would move it over to the side after we prayed and thanked God for His perfect gift and all of the other blessings He gives us on Christmas and every day. Then I'd let the kids open their other gifts. ;)
I love it hanging in the center of the wreath right on the front door--that way no one can miss it!
sylviarj at yahoo dot com
That sign is beautiful! I would hang it in our living room.
I have a welcome sign beside my front door so I would replace it with this one.
That's beautiful!! I'd put it out by my front door so all my daycare families could see it as they come in and out of the house!
I LOVE it and would pack it in my suitcase to take with me to Africa!! :)
Heather T.
Since noone uses my front door, I would put it on a wreath hanging on my kitchen door. I love it!
Thanks for the ideas on how to display. . .I would put it in the middle of my holiday wreath on the front door like you suggested!!! What a neat sign, what a neat idea. If I win, I'll send you a pic :)
Oh what a glorious sign and such a special saying. I would definitely put it in the flowerpot by my front entry for all to see. Thanks for the giveaway, it is really special. Hugs, Marty
What a great message and what a great sign! The color and style would go perfectly with the rest of my decor! I have a wall that this would be perfect on, but it would also look great sitting on one of my end tables or sitting in front of my house! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love it! I have a big mirror in my living room, and I would like to have this hanging in front of that mirror.

How great would it be to put these signs all throughout your house and make it your "theme" for Christmas. That Jesus would be a greatest gift this and every Christmas. I love it.
I love that sign! I'd put it on my front door.
I absolutely love the sign. We are moving our Christmas tree this year to another part of the house because it no longer fits in our living room... so I think hanging that sign in our living room - where we spend most of our time - would be a great reminder of what the season is really all about.
I love the sign. I'd hang next to my front door.
I would put it in the middle of a large boxwood wreath that I hang on my front door!
Awesome sign! I would put it ouside on my front porch so everyone could see it.
Cute!! I would place in the front flower bed for all the world to see!
I would put it on a wreath on the front door! That is a really nice look. By the way, I looked at the other Dayspring Christmas items, and I absolutely love the tree to cross snowglobe. I collect snowglobes so I may have to get that!
I originally though I would put it in my flowerpot outside my front door, but then I saw someone's idea of using it as a tree topper, and I LOVE that! THe star I have is in pretty bad shape and needs to be replaced. I hope I win!
I love the sign! I would use it to decorate my mailbox so the mailman and everyone who drives by can see it!
Love the sign! I would put it on my front porch.
I would display it on my mantel!
I love this sign! I would hang in on the wall next to our Christmas tree. I thought about by the front door, but since we use the garage, we wouldn't see it as often and I think it's a great reminder... and pretty. I also like the hurricane candle Nativity trio... I am a sucker for Nativity scenes... I think I have like 5 sets already and I want more!
I would use it outside in some way. Probably a door hanger. I love it!
Laura
I would hang it outside above the mailbox, replacing my welcome sign.
wirefox1@cox.net
I would give it to my MIL because she is very religious and has a GREAT yard for decorating with this type of thing. We have no yard, so it would work well for her.
Beautiful!! I would probably do what you did and try it out in a bunch of diff. places. It would look great outside maybe in front of my security sign!
I also love to have beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree all month long, so it might look nice under the tree. :)
I would LOVE this sign. I would put it on my door! Fun.
Love IT! I would stake in a planter out front full of greenery. A wonderful way to remind everyone why we really celebrate Christmas.
what a neat sign! i would display it near my front door where all guests and comers could have the gentle reminder.
I would proudly put it on my front door! I tire of the hussle and bussle of the holidays and the grumpy people who come to my home whinning how money is tight and how do they afford gifts. I would love to have this on the door to remind them what Christmas is all about!
I would love it for my Front Porch! I love this sign it's too cute!
Thanks for the sweetness!
I love it tucked in the wreath on the front door. Thank you so much!
On my front door for sure!
This would be proudly displayed in my beautiful, huge bay window that looks out on the frint yard and is illuminated at night.
Beautiful! I would love to have it beside the topiaries (sp?) I have outside my front door.
Right at the entrance to our front walkway!
It would be so nice to win that sign and place it in a wreath on our front door or among an arrangement in the yard.
This is a beautiful sign. It would look beautiful under the tree, but I think more people would see it on the front door.
This sign is so cute, and would go perfectly with my Christmas decor -I'd love to use it in a wreath! By the way, I've been lurking for a little while and I just love your blog! I definitely grew up in THAT family!
I'd love to hang it on my front door. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would use it as a door hanger! Too cute!
I'd put in on our mailbox post. We've been witnessing to our postlady, and I'd love for her to see this each day.
I would put this in my dining room.
Tami
vanillamarti@yahoo.com
I would probably put it on my entry table. Love it!
reading44654@yahoo.com
Gorgeous! I'd use the sign in our front room, which in our old tiny rancher is our entry & our dining room...and just the "anything" room. I have a "rustic" armoire in there - and the "gift" would look beautiful on the top of it with the antique sled and holiday greens I put up there, it would really stand out when you walked into the room! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
This would surely hang on my door! What a beautiful piece of art!
I really like the idea of hanging it right on the front door as part of a wreath. There are so many possibilities, but this one is my favorite (or at least until I have one of my own and can really play around with it...I bet I could come up with lots of "favorite" places to put that sign!)
I'd use it as part of my front door wreath so everyone who drove by would see it. This sign not only shares the best message, it's super cute!
I think that the front door or the mantle would both be great places. Just to incorporate something new into those areas that have grown to be the same year after year.
I've been looking for just the right bow to put on my front door Christmas wreath, but this would be fantastic. I love it!
I just love it! I would hang it over our lighted evergreen wreath on the front door. So perfect!
I would probably put the sign on my mantel, nestled in all of the garland and hopefully some apothecary jars (if I can find any!)
I would put the sign on my front door with a fresh wreath. It needs to be where it can be seen right off and makes a statement. Thanks!
Love this! I'd put the sign on my back door wreath...that's the door everyone uses. Mmmm, or I might put it in my kitchen, 'cause that's where everyone usually hangs out, even the company!
I adore it atop a wreath like you showed. Why not put it right out front for everyone to see that you are keeping Christ in "Christmas"!?!?
:)
ndisilvio @ gmail .com
Love love love this! Any extra little reminders I can put up in our home to remind us and our friends that HE is our true gift during Christmas & always!
I think I would hang it on the front door. Love it!
I like the idea of using it as a tree topper.
tia
I love how you put it in the wreath on the door. If I can pull that off that's where I'd put it. If not, I love it in the front flowerbed. Very cute!
Oh, I love these signs! We just built a big new deck, and one of these would be great stuck in the plants on the deck.
sharinlilbit@gmail.com
I would use in my garden by my entrance
Front and center in my landscaping is where I'd put it. I want the world to know where my home stands on that issue! Plus, it is so pretty it deserves front and center stage!
On my wreath for sure. What a great reminder!
I'd hang it over my kitchen window that looks out back, possibly with a wreath behind it. Seems everyone hangs out in the kitchen and it would be a focal point that everyone could see! Maria (billings4@wadsnet.com)
Hmmm....we are moving into a new to us house at the end of November. I'm thinking it would look really cute on the mantle.
I would hang it on my front door. I want that sign, no matter who wins it, to scream out to the world - it should be IN THE OPEN for everyone to see!. So, I would do exactly that, hang it in the open, right on my door, for all of those walking past, playing near, and driving down my busy street to notice.
I love this sign! I would display it next to my nativity scene!
I really like it on the wreath on your door. That would look beautiful on my newly stained door. Love it.
I really like it on the wreath on your door. That would look beautiful on my newly stained door. Love it.
OOH! I have a newly painted black door, and that sign would look fab on a wreath on my new door! Thanks for the great giveaway =)
I love the way the sign looks on the wreath on your door! The only downside is that our family couldn't enjoy it - therefore, I'd have to consider putting it in our home -possibly nestled in branches in the Christmas tree instead of an angel...
I love the that sign! I looks wonderful on the door! That is exactly where I would want it! It would be perfect to come home to that daily. For others coming into our home to not miss it!
I would use it with my large Christmas wreath on the front door! They have great selection of Christmas items. Thanks for the chance!
I would hang it on my front door with a wreath!
I would display it in our living room. :)
I would display it in our living room. :)
I really like the photo you had of the sign hanging down over the mirror. We have a circle mirror at the end of our hallway and I think I'd do the same thing!
Thanks for sharing this- I love the snowflake collection.
I would either display this on my wall, or on my baker's rack, which is right inside our front door.
I briefly toyed with making a display for the front of my car, too. Kind of like the people that have christmas trees on their hoods. :D
I would put it on my front door - love it!
I would put this on my front porch, as a reminder to ourselves as we go in and out preparing for the holiday, as well as for the many people who walk by on our busy street.
What a cool line of stuff!
I would display it at the front door for everyone to see!! skersting@windstream.net
Adorable sign and I love the many ways you showed it displayed.
I think I would put it with a wreath and hang it on my front door - as in one of your photos. It really struck me as beautiful!
Thanks for entering me in the contest!
~Amy in WI
Right on my front door. That's where this would go. I like this line!
I like all the above suggestions. I would either put it in the front yard or on the mantel with the Jesus is the Gift Silver Cross. Love crosses.
I would put in it on your front door. The puts the perspective on Christmas before opening the door.
I love all the different uses you have shown for the sign. I love the idea of using it for a door hanger. I hope I win that. It is adorable and meaningful!!!
I would love to have this and display it right next to our door outside.
I would display the sign on the fireplace mantle in our den!

I would put it out front with my bottle tree. I just returned from a Walk to Emmaus so this is perfect! prlin at suddenlink dot net
Love it! I would place it in an easel on the media cabinet under our tv. Kids are so bombarded by all those toy commercials around the holidays that all we hear is "I want that!". This would be a great way to point them back to what it all means. (Hmm...this is a good idea self, maybe if I don't win it, I'll have to make one!)
I would love to hang it on my front door!
I just bought a wreath to decorate and this would be perfect to hang in the center! Thanks!
either on a wreath on the front door or on the mantle.....LOVE IT!
I love this sign. I would use it on my front porch.
Christi :)
I would hang it on the front door - a perfect reminder of the reason for the season - for my own family and all who visit our home.
I would put it on my mantle.
algwhitaker@yahoo.com
I would put it under the tree with some other gifts! :) It is such a fun decoration. Thank you for the giveaway!
Love the sign....I would put it right on the front door that way everyone would see it and be reminded. Thanks for the chance to win it.
I would hang it in my dinningroom, it's our gathering place. It's always good to have decorations that remind us of the reason for the season. What a great shop they have, terrific giveaway!
I have a planter by my mailbox, I would put it there to remind others why we are celebrating!:)
I hope you read this even though I know I am # 195. I was inspired by your post about the countdown to thanksgiving calendar. It went along with my post on gratitude so I linked back to you. I hope you don't mind. It is a great idea and will help children know that gratitude is important in our daily lives. Thanks. Have a great day!
I would put the sign in the center of my Christmas Wreath that hangs on my door.
Oh my goodness!! I absolutely love this sign and all the others!!
So cute and i'm thinking I need to head to their shop and purchase something tonight!!
I was so excited that I forgot to say that I would love to use it for my tree topper!!
I would put it on my mantel... or hang it from the mailbox next to my front door... or on the wall that you see when you first walk in... or... I can't decide!
I would place the sign front and center on the tree as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas!
