there is a different meaning of christmas when we were younger and a different meaning now that we are adults. i miss i few things like goping house to house and sing a carol then you get a few coins, i also miss christmas party at school were you are all dress up and going to have an exchange gift. i also miss going to house of god parents and receive gifts from them. i also miss eating a lot of candies and chocolates and laying video games with my cousin and who ever wins gets money har har har. so whats yours?

I think I miss the "big family thing" altogether. When I was little, Christmas was an occasion that was shared with aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents. We would all gather and eat a huge dinner. I haven't had a large family for a long time. I have my children and I take great joy in them on Christmas but I do miss the big family get together and playing with my cousins.

i miss that too. the older generations of our family had a feud and something happened that made us stop this christmas celebration like this. i can not recall what the reason was but we stop that big family thing. but me and my siblings at our mother's house we still do this every christmas. exchange gifts and eating and having fun. thank a lot for the response

hi se7enthbird I miss the town
Christmas tree that stood in the center of oursmall town. I miss seeing Santa arrive in his motorixzed sled with some huge bags full of treats for everyone in town. then in later years in college the caroling and the hot drinks like chocolate with marshmallows and also singing in high 
school choir and church choir the blank, sneior moment
will come back to me. oh yes the handel's Messiah in the alto
section, such fun and it brought out the wonderful real meaning of
Christmas.

wow your small town has something like that? do you still live there up till now hatley? if not, then i am sure you are missing it badly. does it snows at your town? the spirit of christmas differs when there is snow i guess. it doesnt snow in our country, though we have our own ways on celebrating it, it is also cool to see on tv how people with snow celebrates christmas. thanks a lot for the response

Yeah, I miss the exchange gift part with my siblings and cousins. We put up a Christmas party on the 24th, with parlor games and lots of food, too. That was so many years ago, and haven't done it again since the others started to have families of their own and I've got a job.

that is what i miss too, but my family was different, for the older generations was caught in a feud and we younger generations got affected with the feud. we are trying now to start our own christmas party like what we have when we were kids but some of my cousins are living abroad already. but still me and my other siblings we get together on the 24th and we exchange gifts and eat and sometimes karaoke even we have our won families already. thanks a lot for the response
