My favorite part in the past had been time off from work, but this year it would be finding a job and being able to pay some bills and I am sure this $100 card will help me keep my public mobile bills paid for atleast 4 months :).

[meleessa]

Definitely fun Christmas activities like festivals/markets, skating, tubing, tree decorating, all of the lights and the music, just good vibes!

[kaitlyn_bee]

Definitely seeing distant family... but it's also nice when they're all gone and the house is quiet afterward.

[jzzlvr]

So many things to love about this time of the year... The beautiful sight of falling snow. Everyone in festive mood as the holidays draw near. Downtime from work and quality time with family. Delicious food on Christmas Day. Boxing Day sales. Family gathering to ring in the New Year...

My favourite part about the holiday season, this year in particular as we are expecting our first child, is spending time with my spouse preparing for the arrival of the little one. Turns out there is a lot to do to get the place ready and learn to become parents!

The best part of the season is watching my favorite winter movie with family

Christmas is all about food, family and friends -- the good, the bad... and the ugly.

Giving presents to my younger siblings! also snow is pretty cool

[mihi0650]

The best thing about the holidays is the valuable chance we get to spend the time with our family and loved ones. This allows a family to grow strong bonds and provides us with the chance to spread happiness to others who required it the most. The best way to do that is through gifts. Public mobile is trying to do the same thing spreading happiness through their wonderful gifts. Looking forward to those gifts.

Thank you,

I can't wait to celebrate with Family and Friends . This Christmas is special to me cause I'm a mom to be for the first time and after Christmas it means my Baby boy will be here soon. End of December marks one last month of pregnancy for this momma . I cherish this Christmas heavily . I can't wait to make and eat the delicious food I make with my Motherin law and my fiancé and His rest of His Family . I've refered both my mom in law and fiancé to public mobile and I would do it over again for someone who needs more help saving on awesome deals on phones this next coming year of 2020. I always loved helping others find best deals for them and there families .
