What is your favorite thing about Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza?

[princessplease]

For me, it''s seeing all the family I don''t see other times of the year, Christmas decorations, winter break from school, and of course, the FOOD!

Christmastime is my favorite time of year. FI joked the other day that it looks like Santa moved in out place, lol!

what i love about this time of year is:

getting to spend extra time with FI and our families
setting new goals

I also love seeing my family. It is the only time we all assemble in any given year (unless there is a wedding or funeral), since we are really scattered. It is my chance to see everyone. We come to my grandmother''s little dinky town and pretty much take over the local hotel. Since none of us know anyone else in her town, we spend obscene amounts of time together. (This is much unlike DH. His family lives in the town he and his brother grew up in so when they go "home" they have to schedule time to visit friends, too).

The food is amazing, too! My good southern grandma makes gravy and a pie to go with everything. Seconds please!

I also like any opportunity for reflection and renewal, which is why New Year''s is my favorite Winter holiday.
