I used to LOVE Christmas when I was a kid, my fave season was winter, it still my fave season. I still like Christmas, I like the music & decoration. I stopped wanting to decorate the Christmas tree in my 30s.

I used to have a Christmas tree, but since I lived alone and nobody would ever see it, I finally quit.

We used to have an artificial Christmas tree at the office (family business). One year, we left it up all year, and then about two weeks before Christmas, my nephew dragged it off and left it outside. Dragging it down the hallway, he broke a great many of the Christmas ornaments attacked to the tree.

I never did understand why he did that.

The tree is now at the local City Hall and they love it. So if I want to go see our tree, I have to go to the city hall.

My last, best Christmas was in 1965. All of my relatives were there. People were laughing, people were singing, dad was sober, and mom was happy.

Sure, it's still fun, but it's no longer magical ...

I love Christmas but my mom makes it hard to enjoy the holidays because she always gets kind of crazy and easily angered around the holidays.

I love Christmas. It's my favourite time of the year. I like bringing my tree out. I think I'm going to buy a green/blue light projector to shine on my aluminium tree. I'm also planning on buying a Christmas Pickle to hang on my tree. I wish I lived in Germany so that I could put candles on a real tree and light them.

I like Christmas. But some of my family have the "Christmas is for children" attitude and the "you needn't put up a tree or spend Christmas together if you haven't got children" idea. Personally I don't like that attitude. I love decorating a Christmas tree with my family, and I love spending Christmas day with my family and exchanging gifts. It's all very exciting to be in the Christmas spirit.

For your sake, I hope that the two women are not the same person.
