What do you like and dislike about Christmas?

I love Christmas....and the warm-hearted people I encounter during the Holidays, the smiles and laughter of children with their toys and bikes. And old friends calling, after not hearing from them in so long....(I just got a call tonight). Cooking Christmas dinner isn't a chore for me this special day and I always ask everyone for something special they would like to have to eat.

What I dislike?...Last-minute gift shopping and the crowds!....Neighbors/friends that drop by that have had too much to drink!!! (No alcohol in my home), and feel Christmas isn't a time to get drunk, it's for the children.
 
Bah humbug!




Seriously, what do I like? It's the gifts, the social gatherings, the decorations, the shopping (sometimes), and the food.

What do I hate? It's the greedy selfish attitude that some people have when shopping. They get all picky and whiny when they can't find what they want. The parking sucks.
 
Likes - religious aspects, family and friends, foods, crafts, cool cards, letters and texts. Finding that St. Nikolas is buried in Kildare, Ireland. Go Celts. Little kids. Even the crying ones. Poor mamas.
Dislikes - it starts in October! Buying rather than making. Spending a lot rather than thoughtful gift. Burning a special dish. Sigh.
 
Like - We celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. "Keeping Christ in Christmas"

Dislike - Some people forget the true meaning of keeping Christ in Christmas & start their Wish List 364 days before Christmas Day. People debate whether Jesus is factual or fictional and debate when his birthdate was. Tut tut.
 
Anyone celebrate Ukrainian Christmas, where his birthday is on the 6th and 7th of January? Other Orthodox members can apply.
