What I like about Christmas?

[RICHARD]

There are alot of things i don't like about Christmas...shopping, the lines, people being jerks during thte time of year when everyone should be NICE....


The things I love about Christmas?

The smell of a fireplace!
Staying up late and watching old B&W movies.
Bowl games!
Hot drinks!
Cars with wreaths on the grills
Home made cookies!
Those round hard peppermint candies. They remind me of my dad!

What do I love about Christmas? Everything!

I love how people become children again.
I love how people stop, if even for one moment, to think about what really matters in life
I love all the sappy, overly sentimental movies and TV specials
I love the idea of a White Christmas, and yes, I have already checked the 20 day forecast in hopes we'll have one (we won't)
I love all the Christmas lights as you drive down the street
I love receiving a surpise Christmas card in the mail from someone I haven't thought of in a while
I love the smell of a mulberry candle (you just can't burn them all year long -- its illegal or something
I love how everything seems possible if only you believe!

Cars with wreaths on the grills

Speaking of cars with wreaths on the grill. Have you seen the new thing? There are cars around here with a big red nose on the grill and in the windows of both the driver & pasenger side, there are antlers. So everybody is driving around in reindeer cars/trucks/suvs.

They sell the kits at the Xmas Tree Shop. They're kind of cute actually.

And no, I don't have one.

I love....

...Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose....
...I'm dreaming of a White Christmas.....
...Fa la la la laaaaa, la la la la!
The MUSIC of Christmas, both religious & popular.
When I hear these songs, I just feel Christmassy, any time of year.

Getting cards & phone calls from friends & relatives. (I hit the motherload of cards this year with the PT cardswap! )

The food! I love bakng the same Christmas cookie favorites that my mom did - makes me feel still connected. Makes the house smells so good!

Sitting up watching old movies with the Christmas tree lights on. Ahhh, cup of hot cocoa, anyone?

For real = car with a nose & antlers.. Hey I am going to look for Cat Ears & Nose for my car..

My absolute favorite thing about Christmas is getting time off to spend with friends and family!

I also love to Christmas shop, especially for kids, it's fun to pick out what toys they would enjoy. And baking cookies, then frosting them!

The things I love about Christmas?

The smell of sticky Pine sap on your hands from handling the tree

Hot cider , while watching A Christmas Carol- or any old Balck and White Christmas Movie.

Receiving Cards in the mail~ Pet Talk was my Mother Lode this year too!!!

Seeing the lively faces of the Children

Hearing the sound of "Bells" ringing on a snowy day.

The Homemade Cookies , of course. and, the smell of oranges!!!

Shiny Brite Tree ornaments from the 40's and 50's
