No, Christmas 2005 was something I didn't have my heart into.  Christmas 2004 was better because my Father was still alive,even though he died 5 days later.

Not nearly as much as I used to. Somewhere along the line, people have forgotten what the true meaning of Christmas is supposed to be all about; not so much just the birth of Jesus Christ, but the celebration of Life, and all the Good that can come out of it. Christmas has become more or less a power play; who can outspend each other on material things. Who's a Scrooge, and who isn't. It's no longer a people thing...

YES!!!  I love Christmas.  The music, the smells of different teas, pies and cakes and all of the beautiful decorations.  If it snows, just looking out the window at the sparkling lights glistening off the snow.  And seeing how excited children get.  I don't understand why so many people say Christmas time stresses them out!?!  Luckily my family realizes that it's not all about spending money, but giving.  We draw names within the family and give gifts to shelters and pull names off Christmas trees for the needy.

After all the guests have left on Christmas Eve, My Nanny and I would decorate sugar cookies for Santa. Now I am 22, and we still do it the same way every year. I am moving out of the city this summer, so this will be my last Christmas with the whole family. I do not think that Christmas will be the same without that tradition. We also wake up at 6:30 every year when it is still dark and plug in the Christmas tree when opening our gifts on Christmas day.

Christmas is great.  You get presents and you sit by fires.  It brings friendship to people around the world.

The best ever Christmas was when I was in the 5th grade. My Dad had to have emergency surgery, just before Christmas. My Dad was raised in an orphanage home. Christmas to him was about giving to his kids, the things he didn't have. My Parents had nothing for Christmas that year. It didn't bother us as much as it bothered them. Anyways Dad was a Carpenter, and extremely crafty. My Dad made my sister and I each a pair of stilts. they were made out of 2x4's and a little piece of wood for our feet. We played with those stilts forever!!!!. The other kids were jealous of our gifts and wanted our Dad to make them a set. As the years went by, My Dad asked us as adults, What our Best Christmas was, We all told him it was the year he made us the stilts. His eyes teared up. All those years, he felt he failed his family, but it was the love that we cherished the most.

Personally, there is no greater relief than when Christmas is OVER!\n\nAfter Christmas means my dysfunctional family will once again go their seperate ways.  \nI can watch TV without having to listen to my kids tell me how much they hope Santa brings them every single toy they see when the commercials come on.  \nGoing to the mall is a more pleasant experience since there is no longer the fear of standing in a 6 hour line for Santa.\nI won't have to be self-conscious about the dirty looks I'm getting as I'm dragging them (literally), screaming at the top of their lungs, past the line for Santa. \nI can repack and put away all the Christmas stuff.\nAnd finally...\nI might just get a chance to sit back and put my feet up while my kids play with their new toys.  (until they get bored with them, which should only take about 3 hours.)\n\n-- me
