Whats your favorite part about Christmas?

I love the snow days, the snow, the family gatherings, the smell of cookies baking in the kitchen, Christmas/Holiday Movies like- A Christmas Story, and Eight Crazy Nights. My absolute favorite is the excitement on Christmas Eve. Whats your favorite part about Christmas/ or Hanukkah.

do you have any Christmas eve, and Chrismas day traditions?

for me… Christmas Eve – finish wrapping remaining presents while listening to christmas carols and drinking hot chocolate. eat a nice dinner with my sister, my brother, my mother and my mothers bf, then church service, home, read christmas books to my siblings, lay out cookies for santa and scatter oatmeal and carrots out on the lawn for the reindeer, lay stockings out for santa, and when the littles are in bed, me and my mother discuss how lovely the year has been while drinking lots of hot chocolate. (maybe go down to be an elf and pass out presents to the less fortunate )
CHRISTMAS – open santa presents. finish preparing food, family comes over, then great big lunch, open lots of presents and chat the rest of the day. what do you do??????
