Christmas Carols and some of the funny songs like "Santa Baby" really make me happy. Helping other people. The arts and crafts fairs. Seeing people I often don't get a chance to see. Taking time to pray and meditate.

Being with my family makes me the happiest this time of the year. I also enjoy helping others and going to craft fairs. I also enjoy the holiday specials on television. My car radio stays on a station that plays Christmas music 24/7 so when I am in the car, I listen to all the Carol's. I do a lot of recalling my younger years this time of the year. Focus on the happy times and family I miss who have departed. For many people it can be an unhappy/depressing time of the year. Happy holidays, carolbee

I love Christmas Carols. I could listen to Elvis sing "Blue Christmas" over and over again.

I was wondering when Elvis was going to pop up again.

I think traditional things this time of year make me very happy. Old family memories of times spent at my grandmother's house make me happy too. Having the money, or finding a way, to get the ones I love what they want for Christmas makes me feel good inside. And seeing the usual old movies I usually see every year at this time makes me happy also.
