Christmas

Well, it's November so I can talk about Christmas, right??

Do you like christmas? Do you enjoy buying people pressies or do you hate spending money? When do you put your decorations up and when do they come down? Do you have a christmas tree with a colour scheme (like red and gold or whatever) or is it just a load of random colours? What do you want for christmas?

I love christmas

I enjoy buying stuff for people (well, when I know what to buy them) and I like seeing how the react when they open them. Also, of course it's yet another opportunity to spoil the pets a bit more

Dad is a scrooge and our decorations go up on around the 20th and come down on about the 30th

last year they came down on the 28th I think haha. Our christmas tree is an artificial one because, well, I don't know why really. We never have a colour scheme, just random colours here and there. Oh, and no idea what I want for christmas either...

I like Christmas!!

I love putting up the tree and all the decorations!

We put our tree up ASAP, normally on the first weekend of December, or sooner! We take them down as late as possible, sometime in January probably. Our Christmas tree is just covered in random decorations, and is very bright!

I like buying presents, but it is very hard to find them sometimes! I do not know what I want for Christmas, but probably something hamster-related!

To be honest I could take it or leave it. I'm not bothered either way. I am very organised and have brought and wrapped everything already. Just got cards to get and write which will be done next weekend. I like wandering round the shops and looking at the lights and displays, just hate having to shop when everyone else is shopping. Much rather mouch round at that point, hence why its done and dusted so early.
Still got hammie stuff to get but will worry about that later....

i love christmas

i'm such a big kid. i love seeing the houses decorated with lights and the presents under the tree and the general good feelings people seem to have

i usually have all my presents bought and wrapped by now but this year i have been so busy! i have got almost all the animals' gifts wrapped though

yes they do get gifts (even though my family think i'm mad and wasting money!). it's nice for me because my fiance always has christmas eve and christmas day off so we get to spend some time together and with our families.....

plus there is a great family tradition we have-we always go and see the christmas film that is out that year at the cinema even if it looks rubbish!

it's just nice to see friends and fmily that we haven't seen for ages!

I love Christmas, I love seeing family and friends, the nice food you can have, and I just love buying presents for other people, I always see things throughout the year and think "so and so would like that" it just makes me happy to see other people happy.

I'm a very festive person and have started listening to my Christmas songs lol

I love Christmas. I have a big Christmas tree with so many decoratons. I have bought stuff for it every year since we have been married and that is 29 years so far.
This year I am especially looking forward to Christmas because last year was a difficult one for us. My mother-in-law had lung cancer and had to go to hospital in Birmingham for an operation on the 21st December so was in hospital all over Christmas and New Year and David went to Japan at the end of October last year so he was away. This year my mother-in-law has recovered, thank the Lord, and Dave is home so it will be a really special one for us.

I love Christmas - have just been to my third carol service tonight, and another on Saturday - the first two just in the audience, the last two in the choir.

I put very little up in the way of decorations as I'm on my own and away for Christmas - really looking forward to a Christian houseparty.

I don't have close family, so my presents will be for Peanut and the ratties - they are at any rate having some hammocks before Christmas.
