The holidays are a great time for eating too many sweets and cuddling up in warm blankets. Candy is my favourite food so the holidays are therefore also my favourite.

‎12-06-2019 05:47 PM
My favourite part about the holiday season is meeting up with friends and family over great food and sharing gifts!
‎12-06-2019 05:45 PM
2019 Christmas will be my 2nd Christmas in Canada. I can’t wait to spend time strolling around the neighborhood decorating with beautiful and sparkling lights, feeling the snow on my cheeks and having a great Christmas party with my friends. Merry Christmas!
‎12-06-2019 05:41 PM
Christmas brings joy to the world and my favourite part is spending quality time with family - sharing gifts and having dinner together.

- Watching the Christmas truck parade

- Meeting Santa

For me it is a feeling that cannot be matched - a sense of community outside of work, family, daily activities; amongst all folks that gives one hope of a communal spirituality based on non-religious values of humanity. Simple things like holding open doors for strangers, a general niceness towards others, a series of feral smiles freely exchanged by strangers in public. Consideration of others in daily activities in general by giving of oneself to others, often unknown to them, who may have taken less fortunate paths in society. Or as I refer to it as RAK (Random Acts of Kindness). Often times requiring little, but providing a multitude of difference of mattering to others by sharing their time individually and solely focused on them. For no other reason than by letting them KNOW that they matter in your life. - often times overlooked in the hustle of daily activities. Sometimes even the more detrimental things like war, and conflicts take a leave to allow combatants to feel again about the importance of what really matters to us all - FAMILY AND FRIENDS. All acts toward others never go unnoticed, as they all impact others differently. And often times provide a ripple affect toward others of similar acts in many forms from an act, gesture or kind word or two. This contest is an example of sharing in encouraging others by these three acts combined with a gesture to share with others personal experiences and thoughts about sentiment and its value to others! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #blessusalleveryone

My favourite part of the holiday season is that it brings people together
‎12-06-2019 05:23 PM
1. Click on "My Account"
2. Click on "Plan abd Add-Ons", wait for it (a bit slow)...
3. Scoll and find "My Add-Ons"
4. Click on "My Add-Ons", wait for it...
It should be blank if you've got no add-on, I just added them, hence shown on my tab
5. Scoll to the bottom to find a dark blue tab (screenshot below)
6. Free give-away are found under Talk and Data at the very top of their respective columns for "$0 Free Holiday Give away: 400min INTL Long Distance" and "$0 Free Holiday Give away: 1GB Add-on"
It's no longer shown on my tab as I've already claimed mine
Enjoy!!
‎12-06-2019 05:20 PM
What a great contest!! My favourite part of the holidays is seeing family that I don't normally get to and enjoying good food!!
‎12-06-2019 05:19 PM
Spending time with family
‎12-06-2019 05:18 PM
My favourite part of winter is failing school then waiting 2 weeks to go back to school and fail again
‎12-06-2019 05:18 PM
The feeling you get when you finally get to settle down on your couch among your family and enjoy the atmosphere.
‎12-06-2019 05:18 PM
All the opportunities for yummy hot chocolate and Christmas cookies! Also, Christmas means 8 days until my Snowboarding mountain opens!
‎12-06-2019 05:17 PM
Is having a gift of 400 minutes to call the relatives in another country to catch up on how everyone is doing. Using a gift when a gift is given is the best. Giving a gift that's not appreciated is the worst.

My absolute favourite part of Christmas Time is dressing up our family cat in Super Ninja Christmas Pyjamas. It's a cruel fate, admittedly, but when you think of how many times he has pee'd in the bedroom out of sheer spite and malice, this activity is but a source of glee and laughter. Dear Santa, please bring me a more balanced approach to exacting revenge on my loving pet, and provide my family with a large amazon gift card to sooth our aching souls. ❤️
‎12-06-2019 05:14 PM
My favorite thing this year is our daughter coming home from university.
