What do you enjoy most about Christmas?

December 21, 2009 3:59pm CST
For the first time this year I have started to feel a bit festive. I think its to do with the fact I have stopped working and started my shopping. Although its expensive I do love shopping and am not looking forward to the day itself as much as I am boxing day. This is traditional party day where all the wider relations get together for a house party. Its going to to be great this year. SO what are you looking forward to the most?

shopping doesn't do anything for me personally as think xmas is now based on spend spend spend, I enjoy the time with my family and family I havent seen for a year or so due to travelling distances and just the goodwill that seems to be everywhere at this time of year. Thats what I love about xmas. Though it annoys me when people over spend and takes them months to pay it off, not meaning your over spending of course but hope you understand my point.

Lol as someone said to me those who moan about the commercialisation of Christmas are just tight.

well i certainly ain't tight you should see the lights on the outside of my house ha ha ha, I spend like the rest of them the difference is I can afford it and spend what I can afford, where as a lot of people max their credit cards out surely that is not the way to enjoy xmas yeah you may enjoy xmas but you get the credit card bill in jan and you dont enjoy the next 3 months, I assume you can afford to spend which is great and thats fair enough, but theres loads of people that over spend for the sake of it, I have a lot of friends like that and end up working all the overtime in the world just to pay off what they have spend at xmas.

I enjoy all the lights people put up around christmas make it look so beautiful. I love christmas decoration to just love how it looks. I also love how happy everyone is during christmas time. People just seem to be in a happier mood around this time of year. Off course there are so many things that I love about Christmas it's hard to mention my favorite lol.

i guess for me it is the christmas lights, christmas specials on tv as well as the christmas carols that are out there. for me, boxing day will mean shopping! as the stores are open here where i live.

Yes, it give friends and family a chance to bond, when living in distances away!
