Favourite part of the holidays atleast in this country is working in retail and getting that extra stat pay. Seeing my family would have been better though, but eh what can you do

Just to let you know I had over 900 emails to delete when I got up this morning. I didn’t know, that signing up for this draw, meant you would email me every time someone else does. I am not impressed. It’s going to take me days to delete all the emails. NOT impressed.

I would say seeing the snow is my most favorite part of the holiday season since my area only gets snow maybe once or twice a year

Definitely the time off from work! This allows me to spend time with loved ones and family since everyone is usually available at this time around as well!

 

On a side note: does the free 1GB data that was given out for this generous event apply for roaming as well, or strictly domestic?

Good question. Since you have to purchase add-ons for talk, text or data for roaming to US, this data add-on is domestic only.

...this holiday, as with most recent holidays, I will be volunteering, whether it is the driver option for those who drink and shouldn't, or preparing and serving meals to those who need it... or then again dropping in at Salvation Army for a couple of days to help with donations. This is the season for giving, thanks for the gifts PM.

My favourite part of the holiday season is time off, or at least a lighter workload, that allows me to attend to unfinished projects/tasks, see family and friends, and take guilt-free time for myself.

My favourite part of the holidays is to catch up with family and high school friends - it's quite difficult to find a time when everyone is free nowadays so the holidays is the perfect time to catch up with everyone!
