do you like Christmas yes or no

Yes. I like receiving gifts.

No.

The pressure to buy other people crap is too much.

I ask people to buy me nothing at Xmas, that way I can return the favour without pressure.

not really. i feel awkward opening up gifts. and i still struggling to say "thank you" after each gift. it just feels so fake and awkward to me. and with the extended family on the night before....it's just too much for me. and my senses.

I liked it as a kid mostly because I go off from school & got presents. I don't really care for it nowadays because I'm not into the exchanging of gifts & think Christmas is too commercialized. I like getting money from my parents & I did like seeing them a couple years when me & my girlfriend took a greyhound trip down to see em on xMas time. We did the trip in October last year instead & that worked fine for me.

Yes if only sometimes if it's not too loud or too dim (yes I said dim), or too much of a need to get out, or too cold which is most at the time.

I like watching Christmas days when it's quiet, warm... When I get to watch people better.

I love Christmas.

My general feelings are mixed to positive. It's hard not to like getting presents. And I do enjoy singing carols and eating turkey with my parents and the decorations. But all the pressure of Christmas shopping is horrible. Trying to find the perfect gifts for my family members AGAIN, crowded stores full of people sometimes literally killing each other to get that toy for their kid that will end up broken by New Year's Day or banished to the toy box where it will never again see the light of day. I hate that there's no where to go because everything is closed and when the stores do open it's even more insane even when I just need to do my weekly grocery shopping. If I stay at my parents for more than two nights I get bored to tears. Quite literally, like I did last year.

Now Halloween, that's a holiday! And Easter is awesome, too.

YES!! !

I am highly religious, so the special church services at Christmas time are very meaningful to me. I do not like exchanging gifts, but I do enjoy having a couple of days to slow down and spend with family. My family is small and not very noisy, so spending time together is fun.

I wish I had less responsibility at Christmastime and had more time to "soak in the season." Some of my favorite smells are associated with Christmas. I also enjoy cooking a lot, so Christmas gives me an opportunity to go all out with that.

Yes, I very much like Christmas. Delicious food, gifts, loved ones... What's not to like about that?

the only bad thing about it is that it lasts just 24 hours and comes but once per year.
