    It's that time of the year again, it has been for a while now, and Christmas is fast approaching! But what is one thing you enjoy most about the holiday season? And for those who don't celebrate Christmas, what is it that you enjoy about a holiday season that you celebrate?

    For me, I enjoy unwrapping gifts, and sharing that feeling with others, I like others to have gifts to open as well! It's something I have never grown out of, and don't intend to, everyone should have something to unwrap!

    It's the whole general atmosphere for me - the tree, the food, the winter nights, all that sort of thing. This will be the kids first Christmas though, so it's going to be experiencing and sharing all that with them.

    I have to agree with Vice Admiral Petrarch, the whole ambience of the season,though I do miss the snow, as it was constant feature growing up in the north, but now that I've moved south, we don't seem to get as much of it.

    For me it's the way people's attitudes change, at least most of them. Folks smile a lot more and speak to people they probably do not speak to the rest of the year, even if it's just to wish them a "Merry Christmas." For the most part, people are more tolerant as well, maybe with the exception of those manic shoppers on Black Friday! (Hahaha!) Of course, this all ends on Dec. 26.... and that is the saddest part about Christmas. It would be a much better world if people acted "Christmassy" all year long.

    Mainly food and Christmas money, that is about it. Hard to enjoy all of it when it is mainly meant for the children.
