I love giving gifts! I seriously do. That and hanging out with my family and old friends are my favorite parts of the season. What about you?

Putting up all the decorations. My mom has loads of little things to put around the house, so it's so fun. ^^ I also love all the Christmas movies.

Frosty the Snowman, Rudolf, Charlie Brown's Christmas, A Christmas Story, etc. Old, but SO good. This year I'm finally gonna get around to watching It's a Wonderful Life. ^^

I Love Its A Wonderful Life. I hate all the others tho... Lol.

Yea, we deccorated our tree last night, twas fun.

for me it's the traditions with my family. after being away at school for the second year, thats definatly what i look forward to.

I love spending time with my family and friends, during the Christmas season, and just goofing off.

That and my birthday is on Christmas Day.

Presents.








I'm immature, I know.

Getting to spend time with my family, seeing all the pretty Christmas decorations, eating yummy food, and of course the presents!!

sitting down with my family to watch A Chistmas Story... ah...

focus put on jesus....



and family parties... i have a big party and we throw very funnnnny parties.SOME EXAMPLES:

1. My brother is eating food before it is served
2. Mom is yelling at my brother to stop eating and " save your apetite", while mom is saying Santa is SATAN
3. Dad is playing his guitar and singing [no one is listening] in english
4. Uncle Jessie is singing in spanish [ no one is listening]
5. Dad asks for us to join
6. I continue to talk to my husband about nothing. And turn to dad and say no thanks....
7. My aunt is saying she is not hungry but eats more than anyone and insists on wearing spandex.... oooo .
8. Grandma is whinning about her kid being gone because he does drugs.
9. My other grandma tells everyone the same story.
10. My grandpa is smoking outside alone and hugging my dog.
11. Then the singing and LIVE Karaoke starts....

12. later we all beat eachother up.

13. grandma is yelling at the family to stop fighting we might run into the tree.

Some of us practice our martial arts on eachother during this time... and we get weapons for christmas sometimes.


~NL~

It's not Christmas until I dance in or watch The Nutcracker. This year I had to watch, but hopefully next year.... Even more than that though, I love the music. And no, I don't mean Jingle Bell Rock and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. I mean the stuff that really reminds you what Christmas is all about. Some of the carols are really beautiful, and there are so many great arrangements of them.

The tick-or-treating.

^lol.


I forgot to add the Nutcracker. I never get tired of watching it. I love how diffrent companies put their own things on it.

Mostly I just enjoy going to grandmother's house and spending time with the family.

The Christmas spirit(s) *hic*.

It's fun to get together with everyone and have a lot of good food. There's always the traditional smorgasbord too.

The whole giving (and getting) of gifts is of course a pretty big thing, but also love being blanketed in Christmas specials and carols and stuff. Sort of an excuse to be sappy for a month (aside from my occasional blast of annoyance over people's attempts to de-spiritualize the whole thing, but that's something else entierly)

I liiiiiiiiiike.... Santa hats!

When everyone opens their gifts. And hopefully likes what I got them. ^^;

Family

Joking aside, the only part that I really care about is that my friend loved the gifts I got her, so that's what counts.

Getting and giving presents. Aside from celebrating our Lord's birth, there really isn't much else I like about Christmas. ^_^;;;

Celebrating my Lord's birth.

Visiting and eating with family.

Christmas decorations in the season's first snows. I love snow in December - there's nothing quite like it.

Everything!!!! \^.^/

As Garfield once said, "It's not the giving. It's not the getting.

It's the loving. Merry Christmas."

And a birthday party for Jesus when we get the presents? It's a little messed up that way, but I'm not complaining!

I also like Christmas cookies, stockings, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and changing my computer for that wonderful coming time when Jesus was born at last.

Snowball fights. With Rocks.

The food!!!!! whoohooo!

Yes: exactly. I was sick one Christmas, but it was still wonderful, because I was with my family, and basically curled up under a quilt all day. Christmas (and snow -- I still haven't quite grown out of that) seem magical and wonderful to me.

Getting is better than giving(slightly). It's about the gifts (plus the spirit that comes with it)

In my case, anyway.
