Eh, I think Christmas has become too much of a "HEY PEOPLE BUY THIS FOR YOUR FAMILY/WE PAINTED IT RED, IT'S CHRISTMASY, BUY IT/IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL BUY OF THE YEAR!! !" Type of thing.
But other than that....
I like the emotion of it. I'm really all about emotion, and I like it when people are happy. Mostly because, being as empathic as I am, it's easier for me to be happy when others are happy.
And I love the snow. I once was in one of my "Calm-Sad-Sarcastic" moods and my school went outside and this kid who I used to dislike but is now my friend starts having this snowball fight with me. Most fun I ever had in one of those moods. So, yeah.
And what I want for Christmas?
Eh, I want a tablet and a Wii, but what I really want... is impossible to get. And impossible to describe. And totally intangible. But it's what I really want. But I don't know how to get it.
And if I could get that one thing, I would be the happiest I've been for a long time.
Meh, whatever, I know it's impossible to get.
Early Merry Christmas!

I love Christmas. Most likely my favourite time of the year. I am considered fairly crazy in my love for Christmas, usually and have had people comment on my insanity more recently (because of facebook status changes).
We boycott traditional celebrations/expectations usually and create our own.
As for Christmas, we begin shopping throughout the year. Whatever catches our eye and things that jump out at us screaming someone else's name, we buy. We like to buy funny gifts for people if and when applicable. We are usually done shopping for people about now. Every year I decorate for Christmas the day after the halloween decorations come down. Victorian Santa's (my collection of many...many.), icicle lights in the windows and handmade snowflakes too. We cut out fancy coloured leaves to places all around the windows to enjoy the autumn season also. We buy scented oils to burn, that prompt our senses and smell very autumn/winter-like. We put up the tree sparkling with hundreds of white lights and hand crafted ornaments that we buy at art sales each year. We turn out the lights for the 2 months leading up to Christmas, light our candles, plug in the tree/lights, dig out our favourite Christmas films and music and curl up under a blanket with our white hot chocolate and baked goodies enjoying the season while everyone else in the world runs around completely STRESSED OUT! 
I have also posted this in another thread, but this year, we chose to opt out on the large gifts. We will be filling stockings for each other and taking a trip to the UK to be with my partners family. Santa will be bringing the family Highschool Musical on Ice tickets for Christmas Day in hopes to remove the shock of such a downscale Christmas for our 9 year old and have been making up care packages for the street people of Toronto to hand to them as we pass over the holidays.
Have I mentioned, I LOVE CHRISTMAS?????! !! We are decorating as I type 
YAY!! !! !!

YAY!! !! !!I like decorating too! When I was decorating last year we had decorations around the sofa that tickles your neck... we didn't doo that well with finding a christmas tree last year... me and my brother both chose individual decorations and then those large 'things that tickle your neck' to wrap round the christmas tree
Keep up the christmas spirit

Ah! I searched in up on google... It sounds like they sell enviromentally friendly christmas tree's...?
We have already got a christmas tree for this year but we could always try them next year... The rest of my family don't like real tree's... they say they make lots of mess on the floor so...
I would buy one... seeing as I'm quite concerned about global warming... although I'm not old enough to start a campain yet though... Is this the correct Freecycle Website
You seem concerned about global warming too!

More or less a place to offload your unused/unwanted items to people that would use them, rather than trashing them. Not to say I am less concerned about global warming, but not at all the reason I joined freecycle. I joined when we were looking for someone to offload there old computer for our AS daughter. Then Started offloading all our "junk"...
One man's junk is another's treasure... 
Yes that is the same freecycle.

Yes and no...the best rule of all is, it is a place to "gift" items. Not allowed to ask for $ for items you are offloading and you are allowed to post for items wanted!
