    What is christmas for you?

    We were discussing at work today, what is it that makes you think that it is christmas? Is it a sight, a sound or a smell? is it the rushing around getting presents? Is it on the day itself when you wake up???

    For me, there is an ad on TV from Budwiser... it is the music and the end it says "all at Budwiser would like to wish you and yours all the best this holiday season", that makes me think of christmas (that and the coke ad "holidays are coming, holidays are coming....)

    Christmas to me is about spendng time with the family, eating loads of food and feeling sick and of course seeing the excitement in connors face when he sees Father Christmas has bought him his pressies, all the questions he asks me, like how does he get in my room, where do the reindeers stand.

    I love the lead up to christmas, I love taking connor to santas grotto. This year he helped with the decorations which was realy nicem we usually do it when hes asleep but he actually helped which has made him really excited!

    Christmas seems more real once you see the Cola ad! Love that one

    Not long to go now, soooo excited

    Judging from your sig and avatar you are clearly in the festive spirit!

    I love Christmas Eve and the anticipation of what Father Christmas will bring.

    I'm not a lover of the day itself, however I do enjoy watching the expression on people's faces when they open their presents, especially the kids.

    For me its about the children, seeing their faces light up, although I do believe it has become far too commercialised and the true meaning seems to have gone (and I'm not religious). So much pressure is on parents to get the right presents, and bigger, more expensive ones are coming out each year.

    Christmas Day is, for me, spent in the kitchen cooking, refilling glasses etc, but I love watching the films that are on.

    Tell me about it, after having children you tend to get more into it.
