Every christmas most of us spends time with our family. Just like me, since i was a little child, i always celebrated christmas with my family. But when i was growing up and started to have close friends... it change a bit. I want to spend time christmas also with friends because for me its "cool" and "more fun" being with them. Now that i have a family of my own... my views on this goes back to its origin, "it is important to be with the family during christmas" because Christmas itself is for the family and that is the very essence of it! How about you?!?!

A very very important. Because of Christmas your family being bond together even in a short time. A sign of peace and happiness all over the world. I loved my family. They given me the chance to explore many things in life and always by my side no matter what. They are one of my source of inspiration.

I can't imagine being anywhere else but with my family. I understand what you mean by hanging with friends is "cool" but unless I'd absolutely had to spend the holidays with friends (being stuck in a different country or something) I'd rather be with my family. That's apart of what make the holidays so special for me, the heartwarming feeling... without it, it would feel different... in a not-so-good way.
