So am i the only adult in the world who doesn't hate xmas?

[Charleesunnysunsun]

DP and I were discussing this last night and have decided we are the only 2 adults in the world who actually like xmas.

All i seem to hear from family, friends and people in the street is how crap xmas is, over comercialised (sp?), to expensive, or generally how they hate spending a day with the family.

I love xmas and hgopefully always will.

I suggested going out to xmas dinner at a pub so no one had to worry about cooking as we have a tiny kitchen this year since we moved.

My family's reply was, 'only is someone else drives so we can drink, after all how else will we survive the day'

bloody misrable old gits.

Does no one else enjoy,

Looking at the kids faces when they open gifts,
Spending the day with the family,
Sitting round the table for a huge xmas dinner,
Getting a little merry,
Decorating the house????

Or is it just us?????

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

I adore Christmas. Love it, love it, love it

I love it, everything about it and everything else as well!!!!

I love the parties, the decorations, the whole Santa thing, the shopping, the snow (if we get any), the food, the holiday, the church services, the giving and, of course the receiving!!!!!!!!

Christmas is what you make of it. I love christmas and I do all the decorating and chritmasy things with tons of enthusiasm - but what I hate is when a bah humbug comes along and spoils my festive mood by being all moody and whingy about it

I love it, I still remember the excitement of when I was a child. Last year ds, then 3, fully understood what was going on for the first time and I was so moved to watch him setting up the nativity scene with his granmother
It also means:
go back to italy for two weeks
lots of food, lots of family, lots of friends
lots of family also means... free baby sitting

i luurrrrrrrrvvvve it!!
i think its even better now i have kids.
im ecstatic about it already!!

I Love it too.

Especailly the whole lead up to it.

The tree
Decorating
Buying and wrapping pressies
Real fires
Chestnuts
Loads of holly and mistletoe
Christmas Eve
The carol services
The school plays
Making cards and ornaments in class

I could go on and on

Although I do suffer from the boxing day blues quite badly though

I really really really love xmas..always have done but it is especially better since having DC and cant wait for this year as DS is 3 so will hopefully get a bit more excited.
