I feel exactly the same way!! It's always so much fun picking out presents for the people you love! And everyone's so happy when all the family gets together at my Grandma's, everyone who lives out of state tries to make it home... Sometimes, right before we have Christmas dinner I'll go outside, just to seperate myself for a minute, and look in through the window at all the people I love smiling & laughing, the kids goofing off, the steam rising off all that great food on the table, the fireplace going, making everything all nice & toasty... Everything's got that warm Christmas glow about it and I'm so happy just to be a part of it. You should try doing that sometime, putting myself outside of the moment for just a minute makes me feel so grateful to be with my family, and it always helps me remember that there are people who don't have that same fortune. I hope you have a very happy Christmas this year!!!!!!!

Tis the season of good cheer. I absolutely love the feeling everyone shares. It's joy to the world and it is great. Christmas comes but once a year. We all should cherish the feelings it brings.
For those who no longer feel the spirit, it is different when you grow up. Find a charity to help out, a mission to feed hungry. Do something worthwhile. It's not about receiving, its' about the spirit of giving. You will find joy in giving. It doesn't have to be money either. Best wishes.

*nods* Christmas!
I love the memories it brings. Like last year a team of homeless guys in my neighborhood went caroling in Santa hats. It was clearly a spontaneous plan, and the results were panic-stricken at first then down right hysterical. They used the holiday as a chance to walk along a crowded thoroughfare, screaming made-up Christmas songs at the top of their lungs, and asking for money from the very people whose peace they were disturbing. I think it was a pretty inspired form of revenge.
Then there was the time I got someone to dress up as an anti-Santa and hand out broken toys to kids in the hospital. Well more like, I got someone to dress up in the Santa Claus custom that was a darker shade of red than the usual Santa Claus attire and instructed him to give every child in the room a broken toy like a broken Slinky and a card that reads "Go nuts."
You should have seen all the kid’s faces. They where so disappointed but then I told them while my hand was on the shoulder of the anti-Santa that this wasn’t the real Santa but the real Santa was here and I ask them, the kids should we ask the real Santa to join us? And, the kids where still looking at there broken toys, picking it up with one hand, then bringing down to the floor just looking at it, there faces where so long, so blank and all of sudden I yell, "Santa come on in" and he barges into the room with all these gifts that the kids would actually want and toys that were not broken. *giggles* Those kids just beamed from ear to ear.
Memories, I don’t know why but when I look at it memories are just “form fitting” during the winter months. The activities, skating, sledding, snowball fights, building a snowman, making snow angels, drinking hot chocolate, the cooking, the baking and I can go on and on and on.
paaatches –Oh, and you know how many people I come across, well cars I spot during the Christmas months which have a mountain full of Christmas gifts locked in their cars. A lot! I actually knew someone personally whom locked all of her family’s Christmas gifts in her car two days or a day before Christmas morning. Her car got broken into and all the gifts where stole.

I do! I love Christmas. The shopping, the decorating, the family get together! All the things leading up to Christmas. Once Christmas morning hits it's pretty much over anyway.

I am VERY excited about Christmas!! It is my favorite season of the year. I love giving all kinds of presents to my kids and to watch their faces light up! I love making everyone Christmas cookies. Also it is a very important day, it is Jesus Birthday, Jesus was born so he could die for our sins, so we can go to heaven.

i cant wait for Christmas i'm just a big kid at heart, I've already bought most of the presents, i really dont care about getting any in return. But I do love to see the kids faces light up when they open their gifts, especially if its something they wanted really bad and they did'nt think they would get it.
