There’s lots of things I like about Christmas but for me it’s simple. I love the presents. Even if I don’t like the present I love the thought of somebody thinking of me and putting hours into/using there own money to get me a gift.
I like having slightly more free time.
The food. Tamales hit different around Christmas for me, New Year’s is menudo/pozole. I also can’t get enough of Christmas cookies.
Hanging out with family. Making the same baking my stepmom made. Unscheduled time.
Seeing how excited my kids get. If it wasn’t for that, it’s just an extra busy time of year.
Cinnamon. Cinnamon everywhere in all the dishes.
It’s when we watch Lord Of The Rings.
Leftovers. Making sandwiches/tacos with leftover pork and chicken makes the 25th and 26th the two best days of the year, honestly.
The decorations are nice. Haven’t really been in the Christmas mood since 2018 but I love seeing the lights outside
Kindness towards others. Yeah there’s crappy humanity stuff like black Friday, but generally the holiday brings out more good than bad in people.
Time. My wife is a school teacher and I’m an engineer at a place that shuts down from Christmas through new years. I absolutely love having no schedule and just waking up every day with the kids and figuring out who were going to see and how were going to spend our time. It’s an absolute luxury and I love it so much.
Not really any of the aspects, but if I had to choose, the weather.
Mariah Carey. All I want for Christmas is you is one of my comfort songs, it reminds me of so good memories. Sorry guys, I’m this person who listens to it unironically every year
Love you too ❤️ Merry Christmas !
Same. I voluntarily listen to Christmas music all the time between our Christmas parade in late November and Christmas Day. And it always starts with Mariah, that’s the signature tune.
We are really the same
The lights and giving gifts. My own christmas tree and lights up on people houses or businesses. It almost makes the early nights of winter worth it. Giving gifts is an art form for me. I alternate between hand making, scouring stores, and gift cards so I can invest as much time as I want each year.
That it ends. The amount of social needless obligations is just annoying to me.
Snuggling up in a comfy blanket is nice tho.Food
