seriously though, what i really love about christmas despite it's being more politicized by the right wing religious freaks...

i love that during the darkest days of the year (literally, it is the time of year that we get the least sunlight) that humanity has organized a day where we all provide light from within ourselves, and make light to warm each other. It really does show that humanity is able to organize around a simple idea and make an effort to be generous towards others even when we are suffering the most (back 100 years ago, christmas was a time when there was very little food, people struggling to survive the cold, but people decided this was the perfect time to give to others)

christmas is based on the time of year where people are at most danger because of the weather in the northern hemisphere, and so we created a holiday where people focus on giving to others and welcoming others into their homes and being as generous as possible. it's actually a beautiful thing.

Spending time with family and friends, having time off work, decorating the Christmas tree, chilling out in our pj's and watching Christmas movies all cosy with the fire and the Christmas lights on, days out to winter wonderlands, carnivals, Christmas markets, fairs etc and the general cheery feelings all round it's even better if we get some snow, I could actually sit for hours at the window with a cuppa watching the snow :flutter:.

all of the above plus Mulled Wine on Christmas Day :love:

This for me too, i love watching Christmas movies on Christmas Eve, this year will be the first year we're letting the girls open 1 present on Christmas Eve night, and we're also having a few friends round for a drink Christmas Eve this year so i'm looking forward to it.

Christmas day has always been a bit of a strange day for me, although i do love watching the girls open their presents, and come Christmas night it feels like i've been awake for a week.

The food is nice. Overall the holiday is ****.
