It's nearly Christmas and I've read a few things that most of us dislike about Christmas...loads of people in busy shops and towns...bright lights...loud music and for me the worst is the visiting relatives. I love all my relatives but at Christmas it's so much going on and so much to process I can't cope with them. There's so much happening at Christmas time it's a lot to process and deal with and it lasts such a long time. We're going Christmas shopping next weekend *gulp* so I've got to try and prepare myself for this.
But the point of this thread isn't to look at the negatives it's to look at the positives...the things we DO like about Christmas...
What do you like about Christmas?
I'm a big music fan and I love Christmas music, when it's played quietly OC. One of my favourite things is sitting by the Christmas tree, my earphones in, listening to Christmas music.
I also love to watch Christmas films. I like being in my bed, snuggled up under my duvet with my bears watching my fave Christmas films.
Other than that there's not really a lot I like about Christmas lololol
Nativity and Elf are good Christmas films.
Santa Clause The Movie is one of my favs. I LOVED that as a kid.Muppets Christmas Carol is good also.
It seems like he was a lovely man. I might get one of his books next month. Cheer myself up a bit.
I did... Well, indirectly, as I made reference to 'The Snowman'.
We're walking in the air...
Oh man. I might actually get some DVD's of Christmas films now. Has anyone mentioned Raymond Briggs in this thread yet?
Dudley Moore was absolutely brilliant in that film. I think the fact that he was in it was part of the appeal.
It's a wonderful film for a child. Santa is magic in it. Dudley Moore is in it too.
I seem to remember my dad taking me and some friends to watch 'Santa Claus The Movie' (1985) for my birthday.
Michael Caine as old Scrooge. I'm going to try and catch it again this year.
If they gave a prize, for being mean, the winner would be him!
