My most favorite part of the holiday season is obviously the time off work. I typically save enough vacation time in conjunction with the statutory holidays to have 2 solid weeks off. This year my last work day is Dec. 20 and then back to work on Jan 6. A well deserved break.

 

Besides that, I enjoy listening to the Christmas classics starting about a month before Christmas leading into Christmas, watching "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," "Elf, " and "Bad Santa," and see the new fallen snow on my property, which my 90lb Labradane dog loves to eat. I also enjoy the walks through the forest/logging roads with him since it's so quiet and peaceful, and truly puts me back in touch with nature and the simpler things in life.

 

I put up Christmas lights on the house, and decorate the inside of the house with a Christmas tree, poinsettias, table centerpieces, scented 'holiday' candles, etc.

I head to my parents' house for a few days (typically Dec 24-26) since I come from a very, very small family and I find as I grow older that these holidays become more and more important for cherishing memories. We enjoy a homemade traditional Christmas dinner with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, turnips, carrots, gravy, stuffing, apple pie and pumpkin pie, not to mention all the cookies, homemade sweet breads, and candy.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone at Public Mobile and all the Public Mobile users. Here's to you 🙂

Snow of course. The snow not only calms me down on a busy daily routine, but also gives me opportunities to enjoy winter activities with friends.

My favourite part of the winter holiday: wake up naturally (no more alarm clock!), allow my mind to be "blank" (no more stress about work) and enjoy "quality" family time everyday!!!

I love mine and my families traditions around Christmas, but I think one thing that is so appealing about this time of year is to hear about other peoples traditions!

I have a friend who has a weiner dog(with a back leg wheel cart due to surgery) and every year on Christmas eve they walk(and roll) through downtown and look at all the shops and see all the Christmas lights. She gets a hot chocolate and she gives her pup a treat too.

It's a tradition that is 100% specific to her, but I like knowing that others have fun traditions like that!
