Christmas is not a festival for us or me. But I studies in a Christian Convent school and like you, I have always loved Christmas for some reason which I do not know. Christmas is the one festival I celebrate with all my heart and jump with joy for some reason again which I do not know. There is one regret for me about my birth and that is, my birthday is on 26th dec, which I wish would've been great had I been born a day earlier. I love Jesus and naturally I love every bit of the celebrations and I attend the party in my friend's house. I visit church and I make sure I eat cake on that day.

I look forward to christmas also. Now especially for the kids. I might put up my 9 foot tree this year and I also might put up the village that I used to put up under the tree. That would be something for the kids to help with.

Well, maybe you could get yourself a little tree to put up and remember when. You should get into the spirit.

Christmas has always been and will always be my favorite holiday. My birthday is near Christmas too as is my youngest daughter's. I have always enjoyed the Christmas Carols, movies, food, gifts, and get togethers with friends and family as well. It's so festive and everyone seems to be in a better mood at this time of the year as well. And of course it is when we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. (Well, at least for us Christians). I mean that is what Christmas is really all about. Anyhow, now that Halloween is over for another year the Holiday Season has officially commenced for me! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I love Christmas because of the religion believe behind it , Christ being born and all those bible story , teaching us to be good at least during that season . Christmas will always be my favorite holiday of the year , its peaceful and its like you can really feel angels and the morning are so much better . I like to watch all the christian shows , about baby Jesus . The smile you get from people and you really just feel jolly during that time of the year .

Our family tends to get together more often on Thanksgiving because several people have birthdays that week. We also tend to get together at Easter. My brother is a pastor and he hosts us both times as he can not get off work to travel for the holidays and he has room for all of us. If we have time and money to travel we will go see hubby's family as they celebrate big at Christmas. Otherwise we stay in town. We have a caroling party at church, and lots of good food of course. My son is marrying someone new and she is lots of fun and we will probably have lots of celebration with her as well. If I stay in town I will sometimes volunteer to work so that others who have little kids can be with them. I love celebrating with my work clients who are adult disabled and sometimes I volunteer for a community meal to help prepare it or serve it.

I just love Christmas sooooo much!! I started buying the decoration from now because here there are 75% discount of Christmas stuff. I'll certainly make Christmas cookies throughout the whole month since I love the smell of apples, cinnamon and honey, and the taste of freshly baked desserts.

Hi maria! This is also my most awaited time in a year. Our country is known to have the longest celebration of Christmas. The start of Ber months would mean that Christmas is coming already. So you can already hear Christmas songs from the local radio stations. There are those who are starting the countdown that early. Others would go shopping early for their Christmas presents in order to avoid the Christmas rush! Other would plan the events and other things related in celebration of the most awaited time of the year. And most of all, I love Christmas because... I know I will get a Christmas Bonus! Merry Christmas Friend!

I love Christmas as well, it seems to be the widest celebrated holidays. I always buy my 6 pets stocking of goodies, then a toy for them all to share. I love watching them as you put it infront of them, and they try opening it and pull the items out of it.

Hello! I love Christmas too, it's my favorite holiday and celebration. In fact, it's because of Christmas than I also love the month of December. It's a combination of many things which makes it my favorite holiday: the celebration, the gathering of family, all the relatives and close friends coming home from wherever for the holiday, the sales and shoppings, putting up the Christmas tree and decorations, the expectations of visits, the fireworks, and especially the special Christmas Service. I love it :)

For me, the best part about Christmas is the anticipation for it. The Christmas songs as early as October, the breeze, the planning of vacations or parties, the gift shopping, and the like. In my experience, the day of Christmas has always been anti-climactic. Probably because I have high expectations or I'm not celebrating it right. Anyway, Merry Christmas in advance! :)

I love the xmas songs as well. Kids are the best, when they sing silent night. Have a great day there.

As a kid and being a parent with young children , Christmas use to be my favorite holiday. When you're a kid it's exciting one day of the year ( other than your birthday) you get to open presents. Then as being a parent it was my favorite because I was watching my own children opening their presents. Now as I've grown up and my children have grown up, I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. One day out of the year is designated to be thankful for everything, even though I'm thankful every day of my life.
