I wish you would tell us how you really feel about it.
It is my very favorite time of the year also. I love the cooking, family get togethers, lights, and beautiful colors and songs. Most folks usually seem to be in a happier mood during the holidays.
Me, too.
Up until last year, we had made a tradition of choosing a real tree every year from a farm. However, my husband finally won out and we bought a fake tree. Although, he gets slightly offended if the kids call it "fake." He wants us to call it "faux" or "evergreen." LOL!!!!
I think Christmas is about family, charity and all around good will. That's what we make it about, anyway.
