I'm not remotely religious so I'm afraid much of Christmas does come down to the commercial side of it all for me. It's now snowing here and I'm starting to get the festive spirit in me !
I've been buying bits n bobs for a few months, bought a load of Christmas bags, and spent the last wee while, mooching through all the pressies I've bought: deciding who should get what, and putting into gift bags.
Now I've got that sorted out, I'm can individually wrap all the goodies inside the individual bags.......
Now...that's what I love about Christmas. I love having spent time thinking about who would like what, then seeing all the pressies starting to pile up - and wishing it was time to hand out the gifts.
That's the bit I really enjoy most, as well as when the time comes: getting all the niceties of twinkling lights, garlands etc all put up.
Have already got a really nice tree for the work and plan on going in one Sunday on the QT with all the pressies for my staff, get the tree up, place the pressies underneath.......as a total surprise for them coming in - they've been told they can't put the tree up until the traditional 12 days before, but that's to allow me to do the surprise!.
I love it!
So...what do you love about Christmas and why!
