It's my son's first Christmas. Really excited for my husband and I to teach him about the spirit of Christmas. Put some smiles on people's faces!
12-08-2019 02:32 PM
It seems like people treat each other a little better around the holiday season.
Even more if we could resist the need to make the celebrations perfect, in the quest for happiness. You can't herd cats, but by ignoring them, they are all over you.
Take the time to step outside, and breath in deeply, that cold crisp fresh air.
All good.
12-08-2019 02:22 PM
My favourite part of Christmas is when everybody gets together for the festivities!
12-08-2019 02:21 PM
My favourite part of Christmas is getting together with family and friends!
12-08-2019 02:14 PM
My favourite part of the holidays is spending quality time with family and friends! Plus eating lots of good food together!
12-08-2019 02:09 PM
my favourite part of Christmas is when my family leaves, and i've still got a buzz on
12-08-2019 02:05 PM
Spending time with family eating delicious food and enjoying the warmth of the fireplace is definitely the best part. Having time off work to relax and plan future trips is a close second.
12-08-2019 01:52 PM
Time with family and hopefully time on the slopes! (doing my snow dance daily her on Vancouver Island)
12-08-2019 01:51 PM
Spending time with my family. Having fun in the snow. The food and beverages. 2020 IIHF World Junior Hockey (lets go canada).
12-08-2019 01:50 PM
The family used to have this tradition of watching a DVD of an old Bill Cosby stand-up concert but we don't do that anymore so I guess I'll have to go with the food, specifically Mom's baking. This year, I would like to start a new tradition of winning Amazon gift cards, so come on and help a player out. Merry Christmas to one and all!
12-08-2019 01:42 PM
I love getting together with family and friends.
12-08-2019 01:19 PM
The best part about Christmas has always been family. I can't remember the gifts I got as a kids, but I can remember all of the experiences. This is year three that my kids are getting experiences instead of gifts and they have never been happier with that.
12-08-2019 01:00 PM
Christmas is special to our family because we all manage to put our busy lives aside and get together to celebrate the birth of Jesus our lords son. 😇
12-08-2019 12:55 PM
Watching the snow fall on the 24th evening and the 25th. Having Bing Crosby playing in the background. Watching all my loved ones smile and enjoy the fireplace and waking up in the morning to see my kids faces as they open their surprises from Santa!
12-08-2019 12:49 PM
Flying home to my family and the gigantic Chritmas tree!
12-08-2019 12:43 PM
Spending time with family and friends!
12-08-2019 12:42 PM
Favourite part of Christmas is looking for Rudolph's red nose up in the skies as I sip on Spiced Rum and Eggnog
The tree looks pretty good after half a dozen of those too
12-08-2019 12:42 PM
Good conversation with friends and family visiting from afar
12-08-2019 12:26 PM
My favourite part of the holiday season is boating with friends and family and having quality bonding time with them.
12-08-2019 12:25 PM
Decorating the tree!
12-08-2019 12:10 PM
Being bundled up by the fire!
12-08-2019 12:04 PM
This is awesome! What a great Christmas gift would this be!!

The best part of the holiday season is spending time with family and friends you do not get to see as often as you would like!
12-08-2019 11:48 AM
Firstly, the best thing about holidays is waking up and finding ourselves blessed with GIFTS OF LOVE. These gifts means a lot to the kids as you can find them in cloud nine while unpacking. Some can find TEARS of JOY too which happens in really rare occasions.
Secondly, TOGETHERNESS. It brings the whole family and friends together.
Finally, Watching everyone happy makes us happy.
Let's celebrate joy of giving..

My favorrate part of christmas holidays is enjoying time off work with family, watching movies etc.
12-08-2019 11:14 AM
I love taking a break off of university and spending time with my family and friends in my hometown.

The absolute best part of the holiday season is the atmosphere. If you were to wake up from a coma right around the Holiday season you would know exactly which month of the year you are in. The chilly pre-winter days and the occasional snow followed by meeting the people that you know and love. It is also the feeling that we are close to completing yet another year and also to set the resolutions for the next. Happy Holidays!
