completely off-topic, but here's what I like about christmas:
snow! the smell of the tree rediscovering ornaments from when I was a kid the anticipation christmas cookies!! visiting old friends 1920's-60's christmas music surprising someone with a cool gift watching the grinch with my little nieces!
it's all good with me, no matter who came up with it!

good idea! those were great, especially the anticipation and the old music!!
k, so here's my list (it's a long one):
watching the nutcracker on tv, every time it's on, every version they show. listening to the nutcracker music when not watching it on tv. listening to ray connif christmas albums (and bing crosby. the man is christmas!) watching christmas vacation, white christmas, home alone 1 & 2, and other random xmas movies, especailly old ones. the hope that it will snow, even if its just 1 flurry. cooking with my mom and grandma. buying presents for my family and then trying not to tell them what i bought! going shopping with my sister the last weekend before christmas. decorating the house. turning on the christmas tree, at night, with all the house lights out, with the fireplace turned on, and everyone is asleep or out. that is the definition of peaceful to me. getting off work that's the best part!!!!!!

couldn't agree more, leo! if I could've figured out how to say it that well, it would have topped the list.

cult, if not from paganism then fron druidism (though i doubt there's much difference!) things i like about christmas... the fact my mum still does me a xmas stocking even though i'm 31 now... going out for a few drinks in the afternoon and coming home to that delicious turkey smell! all the family in the house together, stuffed to the gills and playing some silly board game... wondering if it'll snow this xmas even though it never does... trying to play said board game with only the lights on the tree to see! feasting on chocolates even though i've eaten so much turkey i could burst...
sure there's more, but cant think of them right now...

God bless the Druids too! Me and my sibs still get stocking too! ;D I hate the snow! I do like watching the different versions of a Christams Carol, as well as Charlie Brown Christmas, the Grinch ect. I like the cookies and the candies. I hate having to go Christmas shopping cause I can't get people really cool stuff. Though I do like hitting the sales and getting a great discount. I hate shopping when there are too many people, there is nothing more dangerous than an out of control Christmas shopping stampeed! Christmas is the time of year when suicide is highest...I wonder why?

I eat ham on X-mas... pretty good I suppose. I like my stocking, even when it's not stuffed... and my mini-stocking. And snow. Which we almost always get. Not always on X-mas day but anytime around there. MMhhmm..
