I like the first two, but again nothing I have to have.

Wise Men is a surprise! Something a little original. Although I'd struggle to use it even though Epiphany is a major celebration over here. I wish they'd included the name of the three kings, the gifts they'd brought, that would've resonated with Epiphany for me. This colour pattern is also completely off with the typical Southern European Epiphany celebration. I don't know. This doesn't feel aimed at those who actually celebrate the 6th of January as an important holiday? Not digging anything in here. I could make a nice mini album out of 'Twas The Night for my mother. I feel like she would appreciate the clean white vintagey vibe of that collection. Well, it doesn't look like I'll be spending a lot of scrap stash cash for the second half of the year...

A Perfect Christmas has all been done before (or atleast a bunch of it has been done before, recently). That being said, its my favorite to date.

I'm passing. I rarely buy Christmas lines and these are no exception.

Not even a little bit tempted.
So cliche. So overdone.

I think all 3 would blend in really well with other lines I already own... the 3rd one is unique, I might pick some of that up to use for a layout about the nativity set I inherited...

I like them all! I especially like Wise Men. It has just enough religious overtones, something that is totally missing from all other Christmas lines.

The first 2 are too similar. I kinda like the idea of the Wise Men one but not the colour palette.

I'm a sucker for Christmas collections. I buy and buy but rarely ever scrapbook anything related to Christmas. As such I have a huge back log so now I'm really selective with what I buy. I see some good potential in all of those collections but the first one is my favorite. Those little deer are so cute.

I like the Wise Men line and might buy a little from that. Honestly, the first two look like the wrapping paper they have at Target every year. A big 'no' on those.

Looks like lots of Christmas lines this year, but none I really like!

Not loving anything in this either. But I need to use up some of what I bought last year anyway before I can justify purchasing anything new.

There's nothing here that really makes me excited. I was hoping for a cute 6x8 album since I loved the one they did a couple of years ago but the plaid design is underwhelming given it is possibly my least favourite pattern.

I like some of the Papers in A Perfect Christmas because I do prefer traditional colors with more red and white, less green, and some black thrown in as well. It has a bit of a vintage feel to it, that I do like.
I don't care for the graphics in the Night Before Christmas Line.
I'm not religious, but I do like one of the pattern papers from Wise Men Still Seek Him. I like the tan and maroon/burgundy/reddish? colors.

There's something kind of vintage-y about all of these. It's not totally my cup of tea, but I can see why they'd be appealing to some.

Thanks for sharing! Wise Man has unfulfilled potential. Sad - they're all boring to me, they remind me of previous lines or Hobby Lobby store brands.

I LOVE christmas paper/collections and these are all a big NO for me.

I like the sticker sheet of the Perfect Christmas line. The rest I can pass on but I have a decent Christmas stash that I don't use... so I definitely don't need more!!

I like the style and colors of A Perfect Christmas. Yes, it's a retread, but I will probably get some pieces to add to my monster card making this year for the card swap.

I used almost every single scrap of the CB Christmas Delivery line last year, and b/c A Perfect Christmas looks like a remake of it, I think I will grab that one up. Love the black and the red/black plaid. The Night Before looks much like former BB lines, but I like the touches navy.
Our LSS usually orders in ep, so I am sure at least some of these papers will be coming home with me.

Nothing to get excited about for me either. Looks like everything else in my stash from Christmases past. I do like the idea of a nativity line, and would love to see it in some other colors.

While I like them I don't think they will be added to my stash . I have way too much Christmas. I ordered a Carte Belle one after Christmas last year and the colors remind me if that set. If course it's been a while since I looked at it.

These are too themed for me, although I appreciate the plaid patterned papers & inclusion of a religious line.

I got rid of all my odds-n-ends holiday papers last year by making cards, then I went to Big Box stores and bought a bunch of after Christmas paper pads. So, I think I'm set for this year. I wish I liked these more so I could get a little bit, but they're too vintage-y (the first two) and too religious (the last one) for my needs.
I wish there would be more companies who did holiday but w/o the vintage vibe - there's been SO MUCH of that in the past few years.

I was just looking for a particular collection kit and came across EP's Christmas line from last year. How is this year's Perfect Christmas different than last year's Tis the Season other than they gray and brown colors? Not much difference to me. I actually like last year's better. Last year's: This year's:
