My son home, friends gathered and of course the food. I also love the spirit of the holiday season. Everyone seems more cheerful.
I have to be honest; I don’t like the holiday season. It is stressful for me. I would love to win this book for my mom, though.
so sorry to hear that, they really can take a toll can’t they?
They sure can, especially when a family member has anxiety issues. Routine is the name of the game in my home.

I love the fact that as much as of my family as possible is around me, seeing my grandchildren’s eyes light up when they see presents under the tree, the smell of Christmas, the smell of the turkey in the oven and all the goodies we get to eat. I guess simply put I love everything about Christmas.

I love Christmas Eve. We have family and friends over to our home. Everyone comes around 4 PM and stay late into the evening. We have a fondue, play charades, listen to carols and the kids roast marshmallows in the fireplace. Also, everyone brings a comical gift suitable for a male or female and we have a gift exchange. It is hilarious what some of the gifts turn out to be. This year, we will have a newborn baby under the tree, the best present we could ever ask for. Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity. Keep up the terrific blogging.
this reminds me of the Christmas Eve parties my parents had when I was little! so nice!

My favourite part is being with family and extended family.
This time of year is hard, as my mom, my best friend, the Queen of Christmas was promoted to glory in 2010, not too long before Christmas, although when she came home from hospital the first time I already had the tree up, and she watched me decorate it. I miss those times, so definitely my fave part of Christmas is the memories.
so sorry Shannon 🙁
Spending time and seeing all our family!
growing up decorating it was my least fav time. my mom was soooo controlling about how the decorations went up and would get so stressed and make it hard on everybody because she would insist on it being done as a family, even though nobody could do anything right
. for years after I moved out, I never decorated my home for Christmas. now with my own kids I can’t wait to haul out the decorations and watch them get excited about all the different ornaments and nick nack stuff that I’ve received over the years . it’s been over a week now since we’ve pulled everything out and they are still turning on the little wind up music box and dancing around the living room. I love. knowing they’ll have found memories of Christmas rather then dreding it like I would as a kid
awww so glad to hear you found the Christmas spirit!
i love spending time wit family and friends, and looking at all the pretty lights
