What do you love about Christmas?
 

I'll be totally honest here.... I can't stand Christmas. If i got my way i'd ban it!:joker: But...... for those of you who love Christmas what is it you love about it?

Movies on tv

This. And the music.

I just love the whole merry atmosphere, the lights and decor in shopping malls etc. christmas music playing, and FOOD :lovedup:

Sittin on Santa's knee

Seeing all of my family and friends and exchanging gifts with said family and friends.

Being bought stuff

I miss gratitude

If I wasn't gratefuI I wouldn't love it

each year it brings me closer to death

Hate to be a humbug, but I'm with you :laugh:

If I have to pick something good about it though I'll say... the food. My mum does the best Christmas dinner for the whole family, she's a star :love:

Films, music, decorations, buying present and the general festive feel of it all.

Where is the selflessness

Waking up early and knowing its going to be a great day ahead.

I just love the whole atmosphere. The day itself, while lovely, is a tad bittersweet because the excitement and buzz of the build-up is over. I honestly prefer the whole Christmas season over the day itself. :laugh:

This

when my extended family leave and me and my family get wrecked and talk shit about them.

The four of us all getting together sometime over the festive season.
Decorating the house with berry wreaths and garlands, Xmas tree and fairy lights. Hubby putting the tree lights on outside..early for my birthday.
Finding special foodie treats, watching loads of telly together, mainly comedy.
The best thing of course is if it snows.:cheer2:

The day itself always ends up being let down/boring when everyone spends half of it napping

Food and getting to spend a few days with the family :love:.

when its all over and I can get back to normal

I wish i could say i do, but i don´t.

I can tell you what i used to.

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:.
