Okay, so I know that the holidays can be an awful time for many people, myself included. I'll admit I can feel quite Grinchy as December approaches, but this year I want to focus on the good instead of the bad. I'm hoping that I not only find some holiday cheer, but others will, too.
Here are some things I enjoy about the holidays:
Eggnog, "Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney (I don't even like Christmas music, and this song is so incessant, but it's so catchy and jolly), spending time with people I never really get to see the rest of the year, the "clean slate" feeling of New Years, seeing children really happy and excited, people giving and forgiving, It's a Wonderful Life, pretty decorations, the pine needle smell, poinsettias, the sparkly, glittery, gold, silver, confetti mess New Years leaves, and "Auld Lang Syne" (I'm sappy and it chokes me up).
I'd love to see what everyone else enjoys about Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years, etc; the religious aspect, family and friends, cute holiday traditions, good memories, anything.
