Leslie221 Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!!! Ever since I was a kid I have just been dazzled by the sparkling colored lights inside and out. Love to drive through neighborhoods at night and enjoy them all. I like the colored ones better than the crystal ones, but they're all so pretty. Our old County Courthouse decorates with colored flood lights and goes all out each Christmas. Turns a gray, granite block old building into a jewel box! Leslie Quote

Ann Posted December 21, 2005 Author Posted December 21, 2005 I love the smells of Christmas. Cookies baking, fresh trees, peppermint candy...just to name a few. I love the sparkle in the eyes of children as they eagerly await Santa Claus. I love the people that still remember and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. I love families and togetherness and big dinners. I love remembering the wonderful Christmas times I shared with Dennis. And...every day I love getting a big, wet, sloppy kiss from my dogs and a gentle rub from my cats. They really make me happy! And last...but not least...you guys make me happy!!! Quote
dchurchi Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Spoiling my nieces makes me very happy (and my sister not so happy). I have no children of my own so it is all about Carley and Heather. I love the sounds of Christmas, the music, the laughter and the love. The smells of Christmas, fresh Trees, Holiday dinners ect. Most of all, being with my family. Quote
J.C. Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Just a smile from people that cross your path. J.C. Quote
Ry Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 I love the shopping, when you find just the perfect gift for someone that you know they'll love. I love getting together with friends and family. I love the kids getting so excited. Love when I have time to do things with them like make cookies or crafts. I love the fires in the fireplace. Making hot chocolate for the kids... such a special time. Quote
Rick Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Things I like. Being off from work Spending Time with the Family Christmas Music and Shows Watching the Kids open their gifts!! THE DAY AFTER What I dont Like. Trying to find an item that is sold out (Xbox 360 / IPOD NANO) Crowds at the stores Rick Quote
Rick Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 Hey, that Gingerbread house looks much better than the one I did last year. Mine looked more like a Gingerbread shack. Quote
Ann Posted December 21, 2005 Author Posted December 21, 2005 That house looks great, Katie! I love gingerbread but have never attempted to make a house, as I know mine would collapse! Quote
Maryanne Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 That would be now as I am finished with my gift buying (yeaaaaaaaaa) so now I could enjoy. I even go to our most crowded mall ( which I stay away from when looking for gifts) and walk around with all the hussle and bussle and enjoy the crowd as Iam done shopping. I like to people watch. I enjoy Xmas day being with family and or course my honey Joel who IS HEALTHY!!!! Maryanne Quote
kamataca Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 The lights... Candlelight Midnight Mass... Smiles... Christmas vacation... Knowing the school year is half over Kelly Quote
Geri Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 The shopping is done, the gifts are wrapped, everything is just about ready and what isn't ready by now isn't going to be this year. NOW I can sit back and enjoy Christmas. Geri Quote
Suzie Q Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens... Quote
Nushka Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Seeing my grandchildren and having our little family dinner. I love midnight mass. Shopping you can keep. I like to look at other's lights but hate putting up my own. Its about being with the people you love as far as I am concerned. Nina Quote
gail p-m Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 What I love about the season: Having my 4 kids all reappear at once from their various work/college obligations after having an "empty" house for some time. Love to watch them talk together, play games, bond again.... This year, I will also be getting to know my new son-in-law better too! gail p-m Quote
kim Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 Seeing the boys as they open their presents on Christmas morning and remembering that same joy as I opened mine when I was their ages. Quote
dadstimeon Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Family, friends, kids, decorations, music. Quote
