I love Christmas because...
Thank goodness, for the last few years, with having a HUGE family and all living locally, we all decided at one family get together that the cost of buying presents for each person was becoming exorbitant. Every year I had to be so organised that I would start buying gifts 3 at a time every month starting in January, followed by the same every month leading up to Christmas, and then it was an explosion of gift purchases in December.
Now, we decided that each family unit would buy just one present for all the other families, plus a small gift for any child of school age and under.
Oh the relief of it! To order such things as a tin of shortbread, or Roses/Quality Street and not have to worry more, is immense. I actually love the build up in the weeks before Christmas now, where once I used to be so frazzled, worried and worn down worrying about everything and everybody, and especially whether I had remembered everyone's gift.
Why do you love (or hate) Christmas?
