Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent PealeWhat is your favorite thing about this time of year? Is it the lights, the music, the family, the food, the sales and the shopping, the candlelight services, the cookies or the caroling? Other than the presents, what do you enjoy about Christmastime? Why do people brave the crowds and the lines and the weather or even stand in the freezing cold ringing a bell by a bucket? Why do they do it? Why do you?
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens
Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself. ~Francis C. Farley

may favorite thing about this time of year is everyone is waiting for snow and you see how close familys really are. christamas is diffrent in the way that familys get together and tell about all the good time and its not all food. People brave the cold ringing bells for the needy they raise money and give to the people who need it.

My favorite thing about this time of year is, that I get to spend time with my whole family. I admit, I do like the music, and love my family, and I really like the food. Other than the presents, I think spending time and getting to see your family and friends, and also having a BIG get together is what is different about Christmas time.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MRS. SNOW!!!
I enjoy Christmas time because of the happiness that is in the air. Also of course I love the presents.
well considering christmas is not about presents, standing in lines, crowds or wheather, my favorite part is the religious aspect of the holiday. Why do people stand with a bucket and a bell because they understand the true meaning of christmas. Not the shopping or the food the real meaning.I hope this christmas that you can afford to buy more but dont give it away!
my favorite thing of this time, ya the food and the music and even the time to hang out with friends and family; but you ask why people stand out in the cold just to ring a bell. Its because they want to help the poor and helpless. But my most favorite thing of this time is the birth of Jesus Christ. He came in to this world to save us all and to show who He is. And I am vary grateful that he came in to this world to bring me and us to him.
My favorite part of this time of year is getting to spend time with my family and giving presents to the ones I love. I hardly get to see my family throughout the year because they live all over the place but the holiday always bring us together. I also love giving gifts to the people I love. I love making them smile and seeing them excited and happy. Its my favorite time of year!

My favorite thing about this time of year is the fact that it brings my family together. People stand outside and ring a bell by a bucket for the salvation army, i dont know what exactly its for but they are greatful to get even a penny. Christmastime is great because it brings a lot of joy and happiness.

My favorite thing about this time of year is being with my family and the food. My grandma makes the best christmas dinner, that afterwards I feel like I'm about to pop! I also love hanging out with my family. They all live in Texas so I don't get to see them very often. It's fun just to talk and catch up!
Christmas time is also a time of penance and reconciliation in the Catholic church. This means a time of orgiveness. You are forgiven of all your sins. Christmas time is also a time charity. Some people during this time feel the need to give, they have compulsions to donate, maybe to make themselves feel better about themselves. But, why can't they do that year round? That's what I think about Christmas time, why don't people act a little like they do during christmas all year round?
My favrite thing about this time of year is getting time out of school, and spending as much of it as possible with my love. 2nd would be the christmas lights because they seem to show the true joy of christmas. I belive people brave the crowds or stand out in the cold weather to show there true holiday cheer, were on normal cercomstances people would probaly stay home and be a couch potato.
My favorite thing about this time of year is the FOOD. I LOOOVEEE food. That's why I am fat!! Oh and I love the presents too!!! I hate chrismas music though... I think people brave the crowds and the lines and the weather or even stand in the freezing cold ringing a bell by a buckek because they want to do good deeds.
Getting out of school is cool too...

My favorite thing about christmas is the weather. Even though its unbelievably freezing I just like the feeling it gives you. Because if it felt like summer outside I dont think Christmas would be the same.

My favorite thing is the snow, presents, and no school.
My absolute favorite thing about Christmastime is being with family and friends. I love just spending time with them and not haveing to wake up early to rush to get to school. Its the best feeling being with the ones you love.
My favorite thing about this time of the year, is the cooking and smells of houses when you walk into them. I love when my family comes into town and i am able to be with them. Shopping can go along in the category!!!! My friend Casie Earls and I want to go caroling, we think it will be so much fun. I think the people standing outside places ringing the bells, to raise money for the people that don't have much! It is a very good profit and if you get the chance, give them money, or go but them hand warmers or something like that. I would like to be aprat of that just to know i am doing it for a good cause.
My favorite thing about this time of year is staying home, snuggling under the covers reading a good book and sipping hot coco. I also, love the cheerfulness of everybody and the giving spirit. Compassion fails with the snow. Its the best time of year...that's why it is the last. Always save the best for last...Right!?
my most favorite thing about this time of year is being with both of my families. i dont get to see my mom very often and my family in texas. i get to see them this time of year and its the best present that i could ever recieve in the world, just to be able to see my family. the thing i enjoy the most is to be around the people i love. its not the presents that i enjoy because i could care less about it i just love being with my family and the ones i love. the people brave the crowds because they care about others and they put others first before themselves.
my favorite thing would be hanging with mt boros and dad

I really enjoy Christmas. I like giving to others and getting presents is also noce or even just someone calling saying "Merry Christmas" because then you know their thinking about you. It's the birthday of Jesus. When people stand out in the cold ringing a bell it's because they care about others. Christmas time is a great time of year, no school for two weeks, family time, and hang out with friends.
LOVE
my favorite thing about this time of year is the food and family! it is the one day of the year that all of my family is off work so i like the time togather. oh and i like it when me and my mom cook it is a long process but it is fun and tasty!!!

i love lots of things about christmas.. seeing family, the food, the weather (i love getting all bundled up and sitting by the fireplace), the music, decorating, traveling... and of course remembering the "reason for the season," jesus. (:

my favorite part about christmas is getting to be with your family and friends. and you also get to eat alot of yummy food. christmas is about giving...so do it. give to others...especially the people less fortunate than you. the smiles on there faces when you do will make your day...trust me
*jojofosho*
my favorite part is that i get to go to oklahoma and spend time with my moms side of my family i dont see them much i also love that most people are more happy around this time of the year. One thing i dont like is how people are so dependent on getting presents but sometimes dont realize that there are people going with out. That is why i think that the people stand out in the cold and ring the bells its bcause they know there are people going with out.

NOTHING I HATE WINTER
My favorite thing abot this time of year is the snow that is suppose to come with winter. Although we don't see much of it if any in Branson, Misssouri. What I enjoy most about Christmas time is the break from school that you get to spend with your family and friends. They do this to help raise money for the Salvation Army. This money goes to feed families in need on Christmas and for them to be able to give presents to their children.

I like how u see family that u have not seen in a long time or u meet new family. It is the best time to hang out with family. U play games and do all sorts of things.

I love the cold whether cuz i love snow its so much fun. I like getting to see my family that i rarly see during the year. People ring bells cuz it makes them feel good inside knowing that they're helping people during this time of year.

i would have to say that my favorite thing about christmas is being out of school for such a long period of time. people probly do that to get others pumped about christmas, cuz let me tell you it works on me. And as a matter of a fact i would not do that, i hate to say it but it just wouldnt tickle my fancy. Unless i got paid to do it
I love the christmas time because i have always got to get together with most of my relatives and have a huge meal. It's really fun because we usually end up playing alot of games until around 3 in the morning. This year i went snowboarding with my aunt, uncle, sister, and about 8 of my cousins. We went to Colorado for 4 days and went boarding everyday. It was very tiring.
I like the snow. But since we're in Missouri, snow is hard to come by. This greatly saddens because I have always dreamed of a white Christmas.
I love the christmas lights on the houses and even more i love the trail of lights. I wanted to go to it so bad this year, all the pretty colors of the luights entrance me. I also love santa clause cux gifts are awesome. Christmas trees are pretty but take a long time to put it up.
The thing I love about Christmas is the fact that all my family comes toghether and were all happy. Its a time when we really don't worry about anything and just enoy the company of each other.
I think the best part of this time of year is the time with freinds and family. You seem to cherish your family so much more during this time. and the food is a added bonus
I like the weather and being around family and the happy times!
My favorite part about this time of the year is that we get out of scholl for 2 weeks and that I always get to go to Colorado and go snowboarding, whjich is the greatest thing in the world. They do it to help out others that don't have all necesties they need. I would deffintily bnot mind doing that to help out others.
i love this time of the year because all my family gets together to celebrate and enjoy the big dinner and have a great time we all had planned and waited for so long. i also love go shopping with my family this time of the year and go out in the cold and wait on the big lines which i don't see the point but it's fun.
My favorite thing about this year is the atmosphere everyone is always so happy and in a good mood and you always eat delicious food.

My favorite thing about this time of year is the magic that fills the air! I love the holidays, especially when you have someone special to share them with! The lights and decorations are alwyas fun too!
-texas2010
my favorite thing about Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.sometimes i think people forget about it because theyre so wrapped up in the worldly things or they dont care..At least there's one.
I love the food and spirit. and getting out of school of course. i like the snow except i get tired of it pretty quick. once i have my fair share i want it to be hott. but overall i love winter.
