There's lots of things I like about Christmas but for me it's simple. I love the presents. Even if I don't like the present I love the thought of somebody thinking of me and putting hours into/using there own money to get me a gift.

Time. My wife is a school teacher and I'm an engineer at a place that shuts down from Christmas through new years. I absolutely love having no schedule and just waking up every day with the kids and figuring out who were going to see and how were going to spend our time. It's an absolute luxury and I love it so much.

Same. We have a lot of little shutdowns leading up to Xmas (Thanksgiving, off-site Holiday party etc) plus the Xmas shutdown. I've worked like 40 hours since Thanksgiving and it's been glorious.
