Message: [QUOTE="JeffK, post: 209076, member: 24809"] I love Christmas - it brings back that nostalgiac feeling from when I was a kid waking up and running into the living room to see what there was.. family, presents, stockings, hot chocolate, candycanes, warm fire, the smell of the fresh cut Christmas tree... It's the one day of the year my whole family sits around in the living room in their pajamas with the TV off, talking, joking, laughing and just having a good time. It's not as important to me now because I'm older but that same magic is coming back to life in my newborn son.. I look forward to his expressions and reactions to Christmas morning as he gets older.. and I look forward to teaching him why we celebrate the day. I hate commericialism - Businesses ruin all holidays by over advertising.. just go into any store after Halloween (mentioned earlier) and you will already see the Christmas decorations and ads for the Christmas gifts - you will also hear the Christmas carols ringing through the aisles... by the time Christmas comes you feel like if you hear another Christmas song you'll choke the person singing it.. and those damn bell ringers at the front of the store.. Really there should be a law!!!! If you can get past all the nonsense - not go broke - not gain 20 pounds Christmas should be a wonderful time for everyone. [/QUOTE]
