Poll---favorite part of the holiday season

What are the most favorite things you look forward to during the holidays? 

I love-love-love cutting down our tree (although this year there was an incident Embarrassed), and I also just love watching "White Christmas" with my Granddad.

  • Food, baking, christmas music!

    Well don't leave us hanging, now you have to tell us what the incident was!  We need more posts anyway :)

    I love decorating, celebrating with my family, and both giving and opening presents.

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I love Chanukkah... lighting the menorah, not wrapping presents (my family hides the gifts & we play hot-cold- I still make them even though everyone else hates it).

    I'm learning to "appreciate" Christmas but it's kind of weird. I love that my FIL sits us by the fire on Christmas eve & reads the Night Before Christmas or whatever it is.

  • umm...everything?  This is seriously my absolute favorite time of year!  I love the togetherness, giving (and receiving) gifts, sitting by a warm fire, the anticipation I still feel on Christmas Eve even though I haven't believed in Santa in like 15 years.

  • Waking up Christmas morning next to DH. 

     Watching my niece and nephew open up their gifts and playing with them on Christmas day.

     Decorating the tree and remembering all the memories each ornament has created over the years.

     AND putting the reindeer antlers on my doggies.  They hate it but it's just so cute.

  • I love getting the tree and decorating it. And when we decorate my parent's tree. It's awesome to see all my family. We have always done my family's christmas on christmas eve and my step-dad and dh always drink Sambuca and act like idiots. I love watching the videos after and seeing their faces when they realize how much Sambuca they had Wink

  • Baking cookies

    Wrapping gifts and arranging them just right under the tree

    Going to church on Christmas eve even though it is usually packed

    Eating my dad's pancakes on Christmas morning

    Getting together with my extended family and eating good food

  • This is our first year married for Christmas so I'm excited to start our own Christmas traditions. Last year we didn't do much since it was right before our wedding and we were too stressed to care about anything but we did go cut down our own tree and really want to do that every year. I love going to see the Nutcracker every year too :) and thankfully DH doesn't complain too much!
  • I love the decorating and planning out the meals. I love getting together with family and esp now I can;t wiat to show everything to Aiden.

  • I am another one in the everything category. I do love going to the Christmas Stroll in Chatham with my family. The first year we did it, MH and I got engaged the night before so I think that has something to do with it too. 
  • Another vote for "everything"! My cousins and I start the countdown in July haha! But we get so excited for being together, catching up with everyone, just the whole feeling of it. DH and I LOVE christmas music and getting into everything together. We're big on being comfy on the couch with hot chocolate and a christmas movie. All the food, wine, decorations, music, hopefully some snow. From Thanksgiving through New Year's just feels so cozy to me!
  • seriously, everything. Although I like decorating the tree less than I used to- I usually have to do it alone. This year it's OUR tree, not mine, so it'll be more fun.

    And all the crazy Christmas crafting I get into. Last night I started on a gum drop wreath (and ran out of gumdrops, so I bought more today), a Christmas stocking for myself, and made the mock-up of our Christmas card and ordered the photos for it.

    All the cooking and baking :)

    And the Christmas events- parties, craft fairs, tree festivals, singing Christmas hymns in church.?
