Default The Christmas Season - Are you excited about Christmas?

Are you excited Christmas season is coming? Up here in Washington it is going to start snowing within the next week. I'm excited, I'm planning to spend lightly this Christmas, just spending to let those around me know I care about them.

Me and my kids are really excited for Christmas to come since we would be together that day. My husband would be bringing them to the city to visit me this Christmas, and we are all looking forward to spending that season or the holidays together. I have saved up every penny for the kids toys for several months now. I have even started checking stores that provide discounted and quality toy products, I guess all of us are excited about the coming holidays in one way or another, right.

I'm excited about Christmas because I can finally take a little break from a hard work. But its not too easy to enjoy Christmas when you have to buy many things, prepare some gifts, etc. The internet business is crowded in the end of the year and I have to be working in the middle of the night.

Yes, I am. We don't have much of a disposable income to spare this year, in fact, we have pretty much nothing, so my husband and I found a few things second hand we knew our kids would like, and I am also getting some material to make tutu's for them, as well as my sisters in law (who are both young), and my niece. We have no boys in the family, so it's a simple, personal, cheap solution to our cash crunch.

I'm not really excited about Christmas, I find Christmas to be a very stressful time of the year - one that I never really look forward to. That and it seems like my family always must interject drama into Christmas making it a very stressful time for me.

Does anyone else have a family that seems to bring tons of drama into the holiday season? If so what do you do about it?

Of course I'm excited about Christmas. The only thing is that Christmas these days are not like the Christmas I came to meet many years ago. Now christmas is just like any other holiday out there. Christmas today has lost its main purpose. People stay at home, drink beer and get drunk instead of going to church on the christmas day. After all, christmas is a holiday period and so who doesn't like christmas..

well, a muslim wouldn't care. A Jewish hates even the name. A hindu doesn't mind and to a buddhist, illusion. Jesus wasn't even born on the 25th of December. Those who think that Jesus was born on 25th of December are just deceiving themselves. The best part of Christmas is that it is a holiday season and I enjoy the holiday.

Yes, every one is excited about the Christmas , especially Christians across the world. Everyone will be waiting for this day to celebrate , even to meet friends and gift each other. Kids are excited to plant the Christmas tree in their houses or in front of their homes.

I don't know if I'm really that excited about Christmas anymore. The main reason I don't really care about it anymore is because my family doesn't really make a big deal out of it. It wasn't always like this, but my family has recently gotten into a lot of financial problems, so we really can't afford to spend much money on things, let alone presents for everybody, however we do get together every year and just spend time with each other.

It was snowing in Scotland, UK earlier in December.

It seems to have tailored off now and isnt that cold at all which is poor as we haven't had a white christmas in years.

But all in all i'm looking forward to christmas, time with the family and friends, lots of alcohol, good food and boring television lol.

Plus im getting a playstation 3, call of duty 4 and grand theft auto 4 so i cant wait .

I'm not excited as I used to be about Christmas when I was younger, I do enjoy buying my friends and family gifts though. It's hard to believe but I enjoy giving gifts more than receiving them.

i'm not that excited about christmas this year. it's because i can't be with my family because of a prior commitment, although if i could just break it, i would love to be there and celebrate the time with them. though, we will be together on new year's eve so that's a great consolation i'm looking forward to.

christmas is a very cheerful event which is celebrated very gracefully every year in most parts of the world
there was a saying also that santa comes at 12 mid night and keeps the gift which we really desire for under our pillows..lol

This time I'm really interested in Christmas. Previously I considered it as a holiday to relax. This year my mom has learnt how to make a cake.
I would be helping her make it and then brunch on it. It is going to be fun.

Well Christmas is over and i had a blast.

Ate too much bad food, cakes and lots of chocolate. Had a great meal on Xmas day with all the trimmings.

And I've drank enough alcohol to last me till next christmas.

Got a playstation 3 with a few games which ive been playing constantly.
