    i love going places and seeing Christmas trees and all the decorations and all the hustle and bustle of people looking for the perfect present

  2. Georgina Craig says:

    I love the traditional Christmas Feast with family and friends around the table. Here in Andalucia, we miss the frosty mornings and the possibility of a white Christmas but feel so blessed that this area is so steeped in history, with Granada just the other side of the mountain behind our home, and the childhood home of one of the most famous Tudor Queen.

  3. Janet Meese says:

    Its that wonderful time when everyone comes together, everything stops for a few days while families and friends meet together, dine together and just be together. Fot those few days we can forget the trials of everyday life. When everything is above ordinary day to day life, for a few weeks we eat nicer food, listen to Christmas music and sit watching classic TV laughing and joking together. Its all about love and togetherness.

  4. I love a lot of things about December, but primarily the fact that it means November is OVER and won’t come around again for a year!

  5. Samantha Clayton says:

    I love most things about Christmas here are just a few reasons:
    1. Even though its cold outside you can wrap up in lots of blankets and snuggle with your loved ones!
    2. The beautiful robin
    3. Snow – Untouched snow is possibly one of the most beautiful-est things ever.
    4. Decorating my home and the tree with my family, it brings you together and you act as a team and i like that.
    5. Buying unique and thoughtful presents for people, although can be a struggle and time consuming you get a somewhat deep satisfaction when you have found that perfect gift!
    6. Family, i love that i get to see most of my family all in one day especially now i’m a grown up and hardly ever get to see most of them.
    7. Being around children on Christmas day is the BEST i love it seeing their little faces when they open presents from “santa” and how they leave out mince pie and brandy the night before its just too cute!!

    There you go just a few reasons ^.^ !

  6. Sandra Caswell says:

    I love the magic of Christmas that make people smile as you pass them and children’s faces as they see the decorations and lights. No matter how bad this world gets at times it is lovely to know that Christmas brings us all together..

  7. I love Christmas for many reasons: the meaning of Christmas, being with friends and family and getting into the festive spirit with decorating the house with colourful lights.

  8. I love the ambiance of the holiday season. I love hearing the sounds of Christmas carols, whether they’re on the radio, by carolers or at church. I love the tastes of egg nog, gingerbread cookies and Christmas dinner. I also enjoy their fragrance and that of the freshly cut pine tree that will be decorated by lights and beautiful ornaments that, collected over the years, represents memories of Christmases past — what a lovely sight to behold! I love the feel of the warmth from a fire on a cold winter’s day. Most of all, my heart has great joy being amongst the friends and family that I hold dear–being with them is greater that any gift I will receive.

  9. This ornament is faboulous and clearly a lot of time and effort has gone into makeing this.i love getting the daily updates from the tudor websites/ links onto my face book page and seeing the fabolous pictures that go along with it.i would love to see this pretty little item hanging on my christmas tree or even better in yhe middle of my holly string on my log fires mantlepeice

  10. What a beautiful tree decoration. I live in South Africa, and we never see anything like this. I have 3 Christmas trees, and the highlight of my year is putting up my trees and other decorations. This one would look beautiful on my biggest tree.

  11. Heidi smallwood says:

    I love watching my children’s faces when they find Santa’s been xxx

  12. Nikki Tucker says:

    I love Christmas for so many reasons I love the feeling I get decorating I love Christmas music and the hustle and bustle in the shopping malls. I also love the time you get to spend with your family and watch each person opening up there presents and look of joy they get on their face with each present and of course you can’t forget about the food from the turkey dinner to the Christmas baking. Just the all around warm and happy feeling about Christmas.

  13. This would be my favorite time of the year, if it wasn’t for the cold and the exams! I love everything: being with my family, the food, the presents, the ornaments on the streets, the Christmas lights, music on the streets and shops… and Christmas decoration, so this gift would be perfect in my house!!

  14. Cora de Martiis says:

    I love everything about Christmas. I adore making my chrismas tree or having big lunches with my family. I like going uot with my friends with chrismas hats on uor heads and wishing all the best to everyone in the street. But what I love the most is the memories of my childhood, when my parent and my grandfather hid themselves behind the living room’s door to spy on me, this little freckled baby girl who was opening her presents with lots of surprise! I miss my granpa and i miss those days gone…

  15. Victoria Froeba says:

    Decorating my Tudor themed Christmas tree!

  16. Everything! The Christmas carols, the Christmas trees and decoration, the celebration mood. Everything is great! 🙂

  17. I love how people go that extra mile to be kinder to one another. Well, if you avoid shopping centres anyway!

  18. Jennifer Egner's says:

    Family ??????

  19. Christine says:

    Family, friends and giving gifts. I love the look on their faces when they love the gifts that they receive!

  20. My favorite thing about christmas is spending it with my family. Especially my daughter. Could’nt imagine being without her x

  21. Michelle Dunnett says:

    I love this ornament. In American schools they don’t teach hardly any English history. I am always looking for a opportunity to teach my son about his ancestry. This would be a lovely addition to our Christmas tree.

  22. I love Christmas for the bright lights, I get time off of school, I love spending time with my family and my cat. I

  23. MandaLynne says:

    I love celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

  24. Lauren A. says:

    I love putting up my Christmas trees and see the house transform!

  25. Sammy Smith says:

    I’m so excited for this Christmas, our daughter – Elizabeth, graced us with her presence in July of this year, our little miracle I.V.F bubba. This is the first time I have ever been excited for Christmas! This ornament would go perfectly with our Henry VIII and Elizabeth I tree ornaments!! Xx

  26. I love the old fashioned traditional feel about Christmas, the feeling how generations of families before have enjoyed the same things. The best thing of all is having everyone sit around the table and enjoying each others company, without the TV or mobile phones, no worries just family and friends !

  27. I love this ornament!!! The Christmas season is really special for me because it is the one time of year that I get to see all my family – I live abroad and so don’t get back to the UK that much, but Christmas is when we all make the effort and I spend a few weeks going round catching up with everyone and spending Christmas itself with my sisters and their families. My nieces and nephews are all old enough to “get” Christmas now and they are still in that wonderful phase (which I have unfortunately grown out of!!) where you are SO excited about Christmas that you want to explode! I would LOVE this ornament as an addition to our tree as we all try to buy a new and different ornament every year to see who can find the best one, and this would be perfect and I would definitely win the competition with this! 🙂

  28. Nicole Bird says:

    My favorite part of Christmas is that it’s all about family! I’m so thankful for my family! Anne Boleyn is actually my 14X Great cousin!

  29. Hmm, things I love about the holidays… I love how the cold weather gives me lots of excuses to cuddle up with my husband and share holiday treats! :3

  30. my favourite thing about the holidays is watching my boys (4 and 2) get excited about seeing Santa and opening presents. Spending time with family early on a cold, snowy Christmas morning is what I look most forward to. Cozying up on the couch to watch a Christmas movie on Christmas Eve with my little guys is a tradition over here. Always such great memories.

  31. Christmas makes me “the most happy”. I love every moment of it- even the arguing over petty things. It’s a time of year where my smile is unstoppable.

  32. Spending time with family <3

  33. Evelyn Gordon says:

    What I love about the holidays is that just at the time that the world is darkest, it brings some light. The holidays remind us of what is truly important in our lives, and remind us to be thankful.

  34. Tanya Baileg says:

    As a graduate student, I am most looking forward to a break from homework and a more time with my family! 🙂

  35. alex Pritchard says:

    I love spending time with my family and putting up the Christmas tree this year is really exciting as my little boy will be going to the panto for thefirst time .

  36. Donna Pearson says:

  37. I love seeing all the lights & colors!

  38. elizabeth cyrus says:

    I love seeing my family and even tho it may be a little stressful cooking for them all i love having all the people i love in my home

  39. Ingela Adler says:

    I love decorating the house, bakning and all the other things that lead up to christmas. The smells coming form the kitchen, the lights and candles and holiday cheer with friends and family.

  40. I love the rich colours of the season ,the deep reds & rich greens and the fact it’s my birthday this month

  41. Jennifer Shelton says:

    I love decorating our house with my children and attending the Christmas Eve service at church. Such a beautiful, peaceful, and hopeful time of the year!

  42. I love that it’s a season about family. Just being in the company of the people I love is reason enough to love Christmas. All the beautiful lights in NYC don’t hurt either!

  43. Andrea Povey says:

    Each of my three daughters always present me with something to do with history for Christmas. Its their faces I love to see as they wait for my reaction. They are never disappointed as I am always surprised, they are so thoughtful.

  44. Lisa Miller says:

    As much as I love all the pretty lights, my favorite thing about the holiday season is getting together with family. My mom makes a hearty breakfast on Christmas morning that is not only delicious, but also embodies the love of my sweet family. It makes for wonderful memories.

  45. I love carrying on family traditions and making new ones with my family.

  46. Leslie Blue says:

    I love being with my family and watching the kids get so excited about opening presents. Just how everyone seems to forget their troubles for a couple of days. Driving around and seeing the Christmas lights and all the decorations that people put up. Seeing people go the extra mile to help others, even though we should do it everyday, it seems like more people are willing to do that during the holidays.

  47. Tudor Rose says:

    I love seeing my family, the yummy cookies, the Weihnachtsmarkt und having a Glühwein 😉 !

  48. I love spending time with my parents over the Christmas period and watching all the classic films such as the wizard of oz with my mum on the settee with a soda stream cherry coke and forgetting I am actually 32 years old and planning my own babies. 🙂

  49. Christine Steven says:

    Can’t wait for Christmas!

  50. Virginia Brill says:

    I love the time I get to spend with family and seeing the Looks on my kids faces when they see the tree set up for the first time. They really get into the Christmas spirit.
