What is your favorite part of the holiday season? I know we have some internationals here so this should be interesting.

EGG NOG!!!!

Funny you mentioned egg nog Chad.

I've been thinking of dedicated a whole thread to it, cause all I got was that for the past...forever. lol.

And its the most yuckiest drink ever. UGH!


I love cooking with my mom.
Traditionally, for New Years we spend a good week going to everyones house and wishing them well. We also have the table set the whole time, so when people come over, everything is ready and we just have to heat things up.

Everything about this time of year makes me feel good.

And when Kost plays Christmas music all day...yeah love that too.

Aside from dinner with some friends and their family who are kind enough to invite me over every year - my favourite part of the "holiday season" is when it's over.

 

[Dzhessika]

The past couple years my favorite part of the holiday is when its over as well but I suppose you could say going out in the woods and getting our christmas tree that's pretty fun I love it looking and looking for just the perfect tree!

 

[StarryEyes]

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the reminder to be thankful in all things, to keep believing even when we don't see it, to keep trusting God even when everything around us is falling apart. I really enjoy spending time with family and just loving on others! That's what life is all about.. love.

I'm not big into Thanksgiving but I loves Christmas. I love decorating the tree, making the Advent wreath, singing carols, watching the movies, and giving presents.

When it's over and I don't have to hear any more songs about Coca-Cola's bastardization of St. Nicolas and radioactive reindeer and Frosty the thrice-damned Snow Abomination for 10 more months. Except at the rate it's going, it'll only be 9 months by next year.

Christmas lights are my thing. I love just standing outside with just the soft sound of the falling snow, while while the Christmas lights illuminate the area in what looks like a beautiful sunrise. My family would normally have some Christmas music playing inside on the record player (usually Dean Martin or Bing Crosby). Then we would sit around with family members playing board games and eating some homemade cookies. Ah, the good old days

I love Christmas music, and being kind, and the lights and the smell of the Christmas tree, and pretty much everything. I even had egg nog yesterday.

The only bad thing about the holiday is the "holiday blues", if you know what I mean.

Not being a big celebrator of this particular holiday season have to admit the most wonderful magical bit happens to be the Christmas markets. Birmingham, Tallinn, Dresden ... all wonderful and magical and awesome. I like the food, the amazing creations, the sounds, the music, the atmosphere, in fact it's one of the only environments where I actively enjoy being in a crowded, noisy, people filled situation

This is my fav time of the year. I looooooove Christmas. It is the most wonderful time of the year. There is just something about this time of the year that is so magical. I love singing Christmas carol, shoping for gifts, movies, spenting time with family, seeing smile on people face, food... Just everything about the season.

I love everything about Thanksgiving. I love how we have a christmas movie marathon on thanksgiving morning while cooking for the feast that is always scheduled at 1 but never happens till 4. I don't know why we don't just change the time. I love the constant noise that is traveling throughout my parents house; from the adults yelling at the dogs and kids to get out of the kitchen to the ladies yelling at the guys to leave the food alone and go back outside to finish the turkey. And then of course I love the crazy black friday shopping! Waking up at 330am and shopping till 5pm! Woot woot!

Because then it would end up being at 7.

That is very true. Maybe we should we aim for 10 then perhaps it will be ready by 1.

In the run-up to Christmas I like re-reading the story of Jesus' birth, fairy lights, Christmas lights on in town in the dark, festive shopping displays, advent calendars, decorating the tree, making Christmas biscuits and reading The Christmas Mystery Oh and wearing Christmas earrings

At Christmas I like midnight mass/church services with lit candles and the stillness of contemplating the moment Jesus was born, the hope it gives and the thought of him as a tiny baby. I like seeing family, watching Christmas films and tv specials and eating festive food.

 

[Tehchad]

my families usually start at ~6 for the things that take hours and then do the rest around 10 for a 12 or 1 meal. That way we're ready for all of the 2:00 football/my nap.

EGG NOG!!!!

The end. Nothing says lame like an endless, insufferable holiday season where social activities get disrupted and everybody's got plans.
Spare me the whole crock and wake me up on January 2nd.

 

[Tink]

My favorite part is just after I decorate the Christmas tree, and I lie under it and look up through the branches. Breathtaking. <3



Admit it...you want to do it now, don't you?
