If it were possible to ignore the commercialism and crass capitalism urging everyone to give away more than one can afford, then the holidays would be an extra special time to be with loved ones or remember those gone before us.

It means making my Mum happy that I go to church with her this one day. And I don't see it as being hypocritical in the least. It's like accompanying her to an appointment and she likes my company there.

actually seeing it in a different light this year, mainly because of the several on here who are enthused by the season
never was keen tho, apart from the obvious enthusiasm kids display when getting all excited about it... till we grow up to be Adults and cant be bothered with all the BS and drama

wont mention the BS and drama we naughty Adults instill in the kids over it all?? ha

Christmas, to me, means spending time with my family.
Spending time with those I care most about, in an intimate setting.
Having dinner together, and enjoying each other's company.
Feeling warm and cozy inside when it's icy cold outside. :smile:

Not much anymore, just a time of year that is usually crazy busy at work, sometime with people that are equally crazy. Still don't have much to give to others with, don't have the ability to visit anybody outside of my local family members since outside of the typical 2-3 days a week, additional time off is not allowed. Go on Youtube and look up Foamy the Squirrel, Humbuggers 1 & 2, you'll get my drift.

I typically feel that Christmas or holiday season which doesn't officially start until after Thanksgiving gives (some) people a more caring heart. It makes people more generous and filled with that good ole warm fuzzy feeling. It's a generalized and all encompassing joy and happiness. The xmas lights, xmas trees, all the decorations in the store and on the streets of the city. It just makes me happy and gives me hope.


Although today was not one of those days. I lost a huge chunk of my hope for humanity today.

It means magic is in the air. I feel a special closeness with my immediate family and it's one of the happier few weeks of the year. I don't like cold weather but in December, it's great. New York is just perfect during Christmastime.

I'm not big into material gifts anymore but I still enjoy gift-giving and receiving.

It means its time for me to fly somewhere far far from home.
