    It means BEING KIND TO EVERYONE YOU CAN :)

    I agree! Ideally everyone should be happy and try to be extra nice to everyone but this isn't always possible!! I love just being in the house with my family and then doing all the traditional things together that we do every year! I usually start getting excited around September but this year it has started early! And i haven't even gone on my holidays yet and i'm planning a Christmas shopping trip to london LOL!:D

    x mas is a pagan festival therefore the only meaning it has for me is giving gifts to the people i love.

    Family. Driving home Christmas Eve trying to finish work early enough to get on the road in time to arrive home before my little brother goes to bed for santy (last Christmas was his last year though:()

    Midnight mass by candlelight. Everyone in great mood.

    Big turkey dinner, few drinks, pulling crackers!

    Giving presents and just doing nothing else for the day (once dinner clean up is done of course:P)
    watching Christmas specials on TV (my fav is Fr. Ted always look forward to it even though have dvds and seen it a million times)

    Drink some more eat turkey & stuffing sambos

    I love Christmas!!!:D

    It means presents, lots of pretty lights and decorations, lots of delicious food, people generally in better moods. It just seems to create a really nice atmosphere for the most part. It's lovely.

    I know people who go away for Christmas as it holds tough/bad memories at home, and that's completely understandable.
    Christmas for us, lots of decorations, lots of wrapping, lots of arguing, bad photos too early in the morning, cooking of meat at a ridiculous hour, eating too many sweets, arguing over the rules of cracker pulling, figuring out what movie to watch, and wondering how much of your family you can take :pac:
    Honestly I think one of my favourite parts of Christmas day is giving presents to my family, seeing their faces (hopefully good faces!)
