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.

I get this, after working retail as a teen/early 20's. I hated the music, the commercial nature of everything, the fakeness of it all. As a special extra, for those in the southern hemisphere "traditional" Christmas food is so dumb here.

But you know what "cured" me of this. My kids, they are what it's all about, they love the songs and gifts, time with us. Lake days and sun... its all wonderful to them.
