We love the way everything lightens up for Christmas.
Spending a few days at home with my mum and dad, I might be 26 but nothing bears being at home!
Santa! my birthday is 2 days before christmas so it means double the presents!
I get to spend time with my family. When I was growing up my Dad always had to work on Christmas Day as he worked for the ambulance service.

My favourite thing about Christmas is spending time with all of my family together under one roof, we don’t get to do that very often so it makes Christmas extra special xx

I love the late night Christmas shopping and walking through town when all the decorations are up and the Christmas lights get switched on.
I love the anticipation. The decorating, the wrapping of presents and sitting in front of the fire with family and friends (with maybe a glass or two of something sparkling!)
I love watching my kids open their presents
The whole family in a good mood!

I like to hibernate and shut out the outside world, be with my favourite person, eat and drink my favourite things, and watch some carefully chosen films and TV boxsets.
I love the food, the clothes, the films, the carols, the presents, the time off work, the decorations, the tv special but most of all I love the kids faces on Christmas morning 🙂
it has to be the giving (and getting) of all the prezzies, plus all the food and drink
the kids faces when they open their presents
Family getting together. Xmas dinner and also seeing friends and families faces when opening presents. x
Time to spend with family,eat and drink what ever I like as the diet begins new year
It has to be the food, I don’t know why as in reality we could eat most of it all year through, but its a magical time and I love it, the smells, the tastes and yet not the waist like in the new year x
Having a fun family Christmas.
Everybody in a better mood
Cheesy Christmas jumpers, eating loads of unhealthy food, just because it’s Christmas, Christmas films on the tv, Christmas music videos on the music channels, and of course being with your family and not being at work!

The smell of a real tree in the house
Getting all of the family together, last year there were 26 of us.
Sitting round the table with the whole family and having great food and drink!
Aside from all the family being in the same place at the same time (a rarity now we all live apart, my favourite bit is getting cosy new socks – a bit of an obsession of mine – I got no less than 8 pairs last Xmas!! 🙂
I love everything about Christmas, It’s the best time of the year! 🙂

My favourite thing about Christmas has to be all the traditions – watching our favourite Christmas films in the run up to Christmas, decorating the house, coming together as a family to play games on Christmas day when we are all full of food… these are just a small few and I am so excited to start our own family traditions as Oscar grows older!

The magical moment my son first opens his eyes on Christmas morning and I can see in his face the exact second that he’s remembered what day it is. Nothing beats that look of absolute joy and anticipation and excitement and impatience that seems to happen in a millisecond.
