What I like about Christmas?

[cyber-sibes]

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?

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

I love all the usual Christmas music & decorations of course, but I really love
it when both my children are in the same room at the time. I love spending
a day with my whole family, from my immediate family ,to all the cousins,
aunts & uncles, nieces & nephews.

I love the Holiday music!
I was humming Christmas songs most of the day at work.

You know, up until about 5 years ago Christmas used to be very depressing for me. I didn't enjoy "family", I had no friends to speak of, and I was very lonely. I really don't know how it got started or how that period ended but I love everything about Christmas now.

Even though I live alone, I still put up some outside lights, have a 6' artificial Christmas tree with about 600 lights and lots of decorations (takes me two days to complete... ) and put lots of Christmas decorations around the condo. My tree and outside lights go up at the end of November and come down the end January. Yeah, neighbours tease me all the time.

Christmas is the one time of year that everyone can become a child again and see the magic through their eyes. Yes, magic...that's what I love most about Christmas.

I believe!!
