I like gift-giving and eating, dislike the boredom part. I would probably enjoy christmas a lot if I was in the southern emisphere...just imagine, exchanging gifts then running to the beach.

I hate them but I try to get something for myself out of all of it. Whatever that is..

Holidays just remind me that I think for myself.....the greatest gift of all.

I'm not a fan of the holidays, to be hones. I'm stuck with my family, and I never have (and probably never will) felt particularly close with them. I'd much rather see friends, but I really can't during the holidays even when I can escape my family, because they're with theirs. I don't have any religious attachment to the holidays, so they don't have that going for them either.

I like the holidays. But I think the only reason why I do is that I've managed to block out all the pointless hoopla that accompanies it. Hating something is such a waste of emotion, so why bother with it. Most of the stress that people associate with the holidays means nothing to me. I'm indifferent towards shopping, I don't do presents, I don't go to crowded shopping centres or when I absolutely have to, I choose a time when they are less crowded. And I carry my own tunes with me all the time, so I don't even notice the music.

I associate the holidays with warmth, positive emotions and family, so I eagerly await them every year.

Ditto. (although I do give gifts)

Christmas got a little boring as I got older but now that I have kids of my own it is fun again. It's fun to choose stuff for them and eat. Eating is always fun.
