Hanging out with friends and the winter activities!

I don't normally have a favourite part of the holiday season, but I appreciate the family and friends I still have around, and the bit of nostalgia I feel when watching old Christmas specials from when I was a kid.
Much thanks to the community here for all the help, and thanks to Public Mobile for the holiday gifts this year!
12-05-2019 09:00 PM
My favourite part of the Holidays is Giveaways from Public Mobile 🙂
12-05-2019 09:00 PM
Showing my son who's the boss in video games, Lord of the Rings Marathon with my family, and eating a nice turkey drenched in gravy is always the way to go!

We have a lot of parties where our large families get together and also friends. Some family and friends we only get to see once a year and it is usually around this time.
12-05-2019 08:55 PM
Definitely the traditions are my favourite part of the season! I love how it's a combination of making new wonderful memories along with reminders of great moments in years past.

I love the holiday season because I get to go home from school. To see my family and friends💖
12-05-2019 08:53 PM
My favorite part is curling up by the fire and actually having enough time to read a good book or play a board game with family.
12-05-2019 08:52 PM
Mailing Christmas cards I made is my favourite part of the holidays. It lets me connect with people I don't see often in my own fun way.
12-05-2019 08:51 PM
meeting with family and friends eating and visiting is the best.
12-05-2019 08:50 PM
Gathering of family, Christmas music and all the lights, gotta love the lights.
12-05-2019 08:50 PM
My favourite part about the holiday season is the cheery atmosphere, the colourful and vibrant lights I see all around my neighbourhood, and the quiteness of the Canadian winter during the night.
12-05-2019 08:49 PM
Best part about the holiday season is seeing your friends and family and everyone so happy!
12-05-2019 08:47 PM

12-05-2019 08:41 PM
Definitely spending the day cooking with my family, and letting the warm fragrant aromas of the food fill the house, followed the by the joy of laughter as we gather together in front of the yule log on TV and play board games and absolutely destroy each other in friendly competition!

My favorite part of the holidays is spending time with my family. I have a 10 year old daughter and I love seeing her so happy when she opens up her gifts, that would have to be the best feeling ever, to know I have made her happy. That is the most important thing to me is to see her and my husband happy during the holidays. I love getting together with all of my relatives and celebrating together and enjoying every moment. My most favorite thing about the holidays is the Christmas music and decorating my house and the Christmas 🌲. I also enjoy making cookies and other festive treats. My daughter looovvvveeesss eggnog lol 😆Merry Christmas to everyone. Wishing everyone a happy and relaxing Christmas holiday 😀

The coziness. Although it gets pretty chilly outside here in Canada, inside of my house, the fire glows 10x warmer.
