I can’t think of anything that I don’t love about Christmas – the memories, the traditions, the decorations. It seems like the most magical time of the year!
I love seeing the joy on my kids faces as they decorate the house.
I absolutely love the carols. Not necessarily the modern pop songs by popular artists but the true anthems of the season. The triumph in the brass is enough to move me every time. It reminds me of being younger when my brother and I both sang with the church children’s choir.
I love watching the kids faces light up on christmas morning with their gifts and the knowledge that they know they have also donated gifts to children whose parents couldn’t afford to. Most of all I love that they no the reason for the season!
The holiday season is about carols, great food, fun with family, Christmas lights, snow, giving, tinsel, father Christmas, seeing the smile on your kids face, Christmas pudding, mince pies, sparkling wine and prosecco, and winning an Anne Boleyn tree decoration which would look wonderful handing from my tree! I am a huge Anne Boleyn fan and follower. I’m actually off to Hampton Court palace this Sunday to enjoy the xmas spirit and ice skating!!!! 😀
Being in Holland and married to a half English man, we celebrate Christmas the English way. So with lots of presents and English things to eat. Mince pies, christmascake and christmaspudding. Yummie
I love the lights, the ornaments, time with friends and family and good food during the Christmas season.
I love everything about xmas, the decorations, the lights, the food, childrens faces when opening their presents, spending time with the family. xxxxxxxxxx
It gives me time to spend time with my family
What I love about the Holiday season is being with family and giving. I honestly love to give baskets, money. Food, toys to those less fortunate. I’m fortunate and want for nothing. It makes my year!
Although many of my family has passed away int the last 3 years, Christmas is still the most magical time of the year for me. This Christmas will be special because it will be my granddaughters very first Christmas!
To see the joy on her face will bring the holiday magic into my home.
The festive spirit that brings families and friends together.
I think that people make more effort at Christmas to help others out and see family and that is what is so nice about Christmas.
I love the togetherness of the holiday season, spending time with family and friends. I also really love the sparkle and the color, along with all the beautiful decorations. Decorating the tree and home, baking, making gingerbread houses, and all of the other traditions my family does together make this time of year really special.
What I love about the holiday season is getting together with family, eating the wonderful food everyone cooks and buying presents for everyone, especially my little girl. Children, in my opinion, make the holidays that much brighter and funner.
Christmas is an incredibly special time of year for me, it’s a time to spoil the ones you love. It’s a time to follow family traditions, banter and eat too much. I have such precious memories of Christmas with my entire family and at the age of 22 I still get excited every year. I love giving cards, picking presents to my family and boyfriend that I know they’ll love. I still get butterflies Christmas Eve and I still get to pick the tree every year. It’s a time to appreciate family and switch off.
I love Christmas but I realy love the Tudors infact am obsessed and live in the wrong era.
The feeling of family, the wonderful smells coming out of the oven and the magic of the little ones waiting for Santa!
I am always in awe that all the lights, all the decorations, all the parties, all the festivities are for the birth of ONE MAN. Renews my faith, and deepens my devotion annually. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
I love this time of year because of the rain (I live in San Diego), feeling cozy by the fire, ice skating and of course the lights!
This Christmas means more to me than past ones, as last March I was diagnosed with
Malignant melanoma, and was in bed for 4 months, this was the 3 Rd operation
In had, and 66 stitches in my lower leg and a tissue graft from my
Stomach is didn’t think I would see this Christmas, or my new granddaughter
So this Christmas means so much. Thank you.
EVERTHING….lol, 🙂
I love seeing my family who are scattered all over the world, that’s what Christmas is about, family & good times xx
Family
I love the way magic comes to life, extra laughter, more smiles ,and the chance to create sweet memories!
This Christmas will be very special in many ways. My 94 yr old mother has moved from up north to a nursing facility where I live in Florida, USA. Tho our Christmas will be very limited because my job was also downsized this year, my husband and I plan to make this the happiest and coziest little Christmas ever for her. Who needs gifts when we have each other!!
I think christmas all year! Whenever I see something that I think will make someone especially happy I try to get it for them. This helps to eliminate rushing around right before Christmas and hopefully my family and friends love their gifts and know they were chosen with love. As I am wrapping I rememember where I was and why I chose the gift. It makes everything more memorable all around.
Christmas for me is all about family, even after emigrating to Australia and Xmas being red hot I’ve still stuck to all my English traditions and has even introduced a few oldies to our traditions which they love ?
Whta I love most about the holidays is the warm feeling of being home with my family. This year, I got married, and it’ll be our first Christmas as a new family, especially since we are trying to widen it ^^
I like to stay with my family and with the people I love. I love the atmosphere that you feel in the air, the songs sung by children… This is a sad moment too, since you miss your died parents more than in the other periods of the year, but you also feel their presence next to you. That’s what I love the most about the Holiday Season: the fact that, through this particular atmosphere, you feel the presence of your dears that are still by your side.
I love the holiday season because I enjoy seeing all the traditions shared from those around the world! I also love the Christmas markets, and the beautiful photos that bring a bit of Christmas from one part of the world to another. I am so glad to be able to share in that.
I love attending Carol Services and being together with family 🙂
First of all, thanks a lot for making it open internationally.
What I love about Holiday Season… the festive atmosphere all around, in the streets, in the houses.. and having time to read on the sofa with a warm plaid on me in the afternoons (we don’t have many relatives, then I can manage to have ‘free’ time)!
Well ok, I love chocolate and sweets as well.
When I was in London I saw this set of Christmas ornaments…I had exhausted my travel budget and there was no more room in my suitcase….but I still kick myself for not buying them.
Christmas is about childhood – I don’t have kids but see no reason why me and my partner can’t behave like kids at this time of year.
I would be thrilled to have this ornament!
The music – our local station plays non stop Christmas music, I look forward to it all year, the entire month of December I am delighted to listen to classics from long ago, mixed in with modern covers. Making memories with the family belting these lovely songs out 🙂
Please pick me as I am a huge Anne Boleyn fan
She would like so nice on my Christmas tree
I love the holiday season because it reminds us of God’s love for us.
The ornament is lovely!
Most of our family is astranged but Christmas is the time when all families put all differences aside…It’s the time of year for me…(((.And this ornament would look awesome on my tree!)))
My Son is just over a year this Christmas so i am very excited seeing the awe in his eyes at everything Christmas related. This would look lovely on our tree next to my Princess Diana ornament. 🙂 Thank you for this wonderful contest!
The thing a love most about Christmas are all the lights and decorations. It’s so dark this time of the year and I need the lights and glittering to feel better. I Also love the carols and the smell and sight of my Christmas tree.
I love the weather , the lights, and just the general feeling of happiness that comes with the season 🙂
