is it getting together with your family and friends? the food? perhaps its the music? the presents? shopping? wrapping? the sights of the season?
For me, i would have to say that i love the Christmas lights most of all, i like to drive around at night and see the lights that people have put up on their houses...how about yoU?

For me is gathering together with my family and friends and sharing the food. Praying for the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ and the salvation he has given us.

I love the way strangers will smile at you when you notice them looking in your direction and you wish them a happy holiday and tell them what a lovely smaile they have..
I love the way kids whisper over secret presents they are making.
I love that look of wonder when a young child sees their first Christmas tree with the lights on in the dark.
I love the extra hugs and kisses I will recieve from my loved ones.
I love the way my friend Cher gets excited and starts all of these Christmas discussions!

I agree,I love the lights. It makes everything so beautiful. I really love the lights when we have a nice blanket of snow on the ground. I also love the music and getting together with family and friends.

It would have to be the food, the atmosphere, the holidays, the snow and obviously dinner with loved ones....
I don't really care about gifts though as they are not as important as family....but hey, need to make somebody happy in this joyous season....that means have to spend some money on gifts :D

For me it is all about my kids. I love watching them get excited about the tree, lights, presents, Santa. I guess its all about the anticipation. Christmas just makes me happy!

I like all of it except the shopping. There is a fair grounds that we go to that has lights. Its really cute. They have lots of the cool ones that are action ones. Plus there are litte shops that sell candys and shops that sell crafts. They have a bonfire too.

I love all of those thing you mentioned, and try to add new things to our traditions every year. The only thing I don't like about Christmas is the humbugs... we know some people who stay alone, won't come to dinner when we invite them, don't want any presents...and then they gripe about nobody caring for them all the rest of the year!

Advance Merry Christmas cher913!
I almost like everything we do every Christmas. The things you have mentioned actually brightens up my soul. It is the time of year when my family and relatives have a get-together. I mean, we take our dinner together and discuss a lot of things about life especially about the yuletide season. The Christmas carols are so pleasing to the ears. The shopping and of course exchanging of gifts are great! I do appreciate it a lot ;-) And most of all, what I like most is the dawn masses. I mean, I have this habit of completing the nine mornings. I just love the feeling of waking up so early just to attend the mass and complete the nine mornings for a wish. Once again, advance Merry Christmas. May you and your family have a great holiday!

I love spending time with my family at Christmas. To me it's about family not presents but I have to admit I do love watching my sons face as he opens his presents and plays with him. I love looking at the Christmas lights that are put up around my town as well. I always feel that Christmas is closer when I go to the shops and can smell mangos. To me the smell of mangos means Christmas is coming.

I love Christmas because I get to see it through the eyes of my daughter. She is so excited about this time of year! I also like having time off with my family, and the feeling of it being such a special time of year. I love the time of reflection that is possible with a few days off as well. I enjoy the religious aspect, and attending Christmas services as well. In short, it is a great time of year!
