What do you like about Christmas?

[SPEEDY]

Just wondering what all of you think the best thing about Christmas is? A lot of my friends think that Christmas has become too "commercial" and that most people have forgot what Christmas is really about. I must admit that I dont celebrate it as the birthday of Jesus, rather, its a time to get together will family and have lots of fun and laughs...and share presents I think the best thing about Christmas is family. (Although advent calendars and coca cola adverts are great)

i wouldve added "all the above" cuz i wouldve chosen that...i juss love the whole Christmas feel..even though times might get a little rough cuz of the shoppers tryna get the best things i.e. presents...but being w/ family smiling, havin fun, sharing stories w/ family members you dont get to see all the time...occasionally you'll get into an arguement w/ someone in your family but, its all apart of the holiday ...but i guess all the above

I'm in a position where I don't have much family except my parents and my little bro'. They are all God left me. So I wish I had a bigger family at Christmas time because Christmas times are a little sad for me, I guess .
But what I like best about Christmas is making gifts to my parents and bro', do some cooking for them and see their smile on their face. And of course I love all the Chritmassy decorations in the streets, in houses, in big stores...

i love whole Christmas being with family, Coca Cola adverts, snow, shopping with my dad and my bro (cause my mom has to work ) and buying whole stuff, decorating christmas tree, presents, decorations in the streets, houses and stores and so on..

Funny that you say that most ppl have forgotten what Christmas is really about cause actually there has been a religious festival at this time of year for centuries before Christ was born, where the pagans celebrated the sun and the seasonal change (going from darkness to light). nobody knows when jesus was born, it was a pope in the 4th century who decided that it should be celebrated at this time of year. So I think it's fair enough that ppl don't necessarily interpret this as a Christian holiday...
I think the best thing about Christmas is blinking Christmas trees in the neighbour's garden...

I remember watching a video in a R.E. class at school that did lots of studies on the star of Bethlehem and such...and they said that Jesus's birthday was the same as mine the 17th of April (which of course I remembered) Althought I dont think many ppl know that. But you have to admit that most people associate Christmas with lots of presents - or at least they do in my country.
