I hope i'm in the right forum.What most do you like about Christmas?I have several things and i'll list a few.I love xmas music,it really puts me in the spirit.Seeing the bright smiling faces on children and adults,the sharing,caring and giving.Everyone will almost everyone has alot of love to go around.I do like to help the less fortunate when I can.Too bad the kindness and generousity only comes during the holiday season.Last year I spent my xmas in Baltimore at a trk stop.Even the east coast 4wheelers were nice,can you believe that,LOL.I might stay out again this yr,I have'nt decided yet.

That'll be fun watching her open or rather tear open her gifts,LOL.I think the adults get as much fun if not more just watching the kids have fun at xmas time.

Being the recipient of my son's constant barrage of all of the xmas fliers in the paper and what he wants, just the innocence and his excitement, and the explanation to him what Christmas is really about. Egg nog, The Carpenters and Andy Williams. My wife, son and me picking out the tree and putting up all the decorations around the house. The "anticipation" of snow, we had a blizzard last xmas eve and it was awesome. The family dinners and of course the morning itself.

I like being with family, the smell of cooking and thinking about the true meaning of Christmas. I don't like leaving "Christ" out of Christmas. There is way too much emphasis on getting and receiving presents and Santa Claus. It is almost taboo to discuss the real meaning of Christmas. In fact, without Christ we would have no need for Christmas. I don't mean to be preachy, but it we seem to have lost the meaning of Christmas.

What I like... having Christmas with my own family (wife, son) now. It's amazing how your life changes, when you have a spouse/family.
Dislike... Santa is now coming to our house! :hellno:

Every year, the week after Thanksgiving the wife begins her holiday baking ritual, Chocolate covered pretzels, Almond cookies, Some sort of Itlalian cookie rolls, Sugar dusted chocolate cookies, two types of Fudge as our youngest is alergic to nuts, and at least 4 other types of cookies. I can still remember watching our girls help do it every year until they reached the age of 15 and then all of a sudden they have more imortant things to do, so this year she has the grandaughter helping out should be interesting as she is only 3 years old.

I Got all the decorations out of the attic yeasterday and lined up against the garage door ready to get set up next weekend and the yearly ritual of pitching a fit because last year when I put the lights away they all worked and now for some reason there will be a least 5 strands that wont work.
