What do you enjoy most about Christmas?

For me, I know this sounds maybe cliche and old fashioned but my favourite thing really is about being with family.Ever since I was a child (I'm now 23) we've always had big family Christmases. Over the last few years though it's gotten smaller. Notably for the fact that my brother, his wife and kids all moved to Australia from "down the road" in England and for this year and the last, I am now also in Australia to travel for 2 years.The year my brother moved away was a big blow to me because we've always been very close as I have been with his wife and kids. So that following Christmas was hard, it didn't feel like Christmas was complete.Then last year, I came to Australia and spent Christmas with my brother. It was great although again very hard because I wasn't with my parents, my sister and her child. Plus I had at the time been with my girlfriend for almost 4 years and she was traveling separate to me at the time around Australia with her friend so that made it even harder!Again this year will be even worse to the point that me and my girlfriend aren't looking forward to it. Although we are now traveling together and can enjoy Christmas together, we are going to be missing our family very much (I can't see my brother this year due to us not being able to get to Perth in time) and Australia feels very different to England at Christmas, most obvious difference is the weather. At home we'd have possibly snow but here it is 40C.So family is important to me on Christmas and it is making me look forward to next Christmas when I'm back home. It will be awesome!

Who doesn't like christmas?

Even Scroooge and the Grinch love Christmas by the end of the movie!
So do I!

Hi Pinkyjon, I'm sorry you had it crappy when you were a kid and I am very sincere about that! I hope you're no longer in that situation. I will keep you in my prayers this Christmas.

Is it wrong that i don't like christmas?

It's not that I hate/loathe it because i think those are strong words to use on an innocent holiday. However, I just find the whole materialistic rave ridiculous. Also every year during the christmas season, my family fights over the silliest things I think its just because the holiday stress gets to all of us. Anyway I don't dislike it because of all the giving, loving and sharing. Basically i just don't like it from all the stress and materialistic image. So is it wrong that i don't like christmas because of it? I would just rather christmas would be more about family than presents.

What would you like to receive as a gift for Christmas?

There are a lots of gift in the world. But I especially prefer some gift for Christmas. This is true that if you want to easily happy your any family member such as wife, husband, parents, kids or any friends, you can gift some special in Christmas Day.And yep, It is not very necessary that your gifts should be high priced. You can something among cheapest cost. But it should be become an attractive.You can make your family happy by giving gifts from their preference. This not needs to spend much. The gift is all about love.I prefer 5 gifts for Christmas. Below are the following.01. Books02. Cakes and chocolate03. House Hold Belongings04. Dress for Christmas05. Holiday HangoutHopefully it will help you definitely.

Do you like Christmas? If yes/no, Why is that?

I like the idea of Christmas/ the holiday season (not to sound overly denominational), but I do not like the advertising, the greed, and the cheap/ overpriced ornaments associated with it. I would rather my friends and family get together for a meal and drinks, than to hear about all of these pre/post holiday sales. I would rather people not buy me things they try to spend “just enough” money on, but pay attention to me when we are chatting… if you realize I love cheese and jalapeños, bring some homemade hot cheese dip to the gathering (but I know you won't put garlic in it, because you are a great listener and know I hate garlic). Bring a bottle of Papi Cabernet Sauvignon… it is definitely not that expensive but you know it's one of my favorites and I like it 1000x more than that French stuff I couldn't pronounce which you brought to my New Year's Eve bash last year (because you know making the hostess feel like an idiot will not get you reinvited). Bring your accordion and play us some music from your land, or mine… but do not make fun of my plastic tree because you know I have a sensitive sense of smell and get headaches from real pine trees or pollen (or dust or animals). I prefer for holidays to be celebrated for what they symbolize… on Valentine's Day, play me a song, don't try to buy my affection with Godiva chocolates. On Thanksgiving, show your appreciation for what you have (both possessions and people in your life), don't just pig out on turkey. On Christmas, try to appreciate what you have, don't just make a list of everything you want. Our relationships with anything (be it holidays, people, etc) are more complicated than “Yes or No".

What do you tell someone who hates Christmas?

Well, for some people holidays are painful and instead of looking at it rationally, they instead just decide to be bitter and hate that certain time of year. Perhaps they lost a loved one close to a certain holiday and each year when the holiday occurs they are painfully reminded of their loss. Everyone who dislikes certain holidays has a reason, they may have simply not recognized the reason and dealt with it.

Probably the best way to deal with someone like this is to simply ask them why and listen. Lend an ear for them to vent, and don't offer advice -- just listen. But listen without judgment or condemnation. You never know if this simple action of listening will help them voice their deep rooted emotions, fears, concerns and doubts which could open the door to healing and a more rational opinion of holidays.

But, then again, you may be dealing with a very pessimistic person who enjoys misery. Go ahead and listen, then leave them alone.

No matter what the circumstance, there isn't anything we can say that will change someones mind or opinion -- all we can do is love them, remain positive and lead by example.

Merry Christmas!
