As for me, I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays. I love all the happy energy that seems to be everywhere, the parties, watching all those holiday movies, the special foods, and of course, Decking the Halls with Mistletoe! On the other hand, I don't like all the crowds, waiting in lines and the push-me-pull-you Madness in the malls and stores that is a big part of the holidays.
Still I must admit this is a magical time of year for me. One of my favorite all time days of the year is Christmas Eve. We celebrate holiday fare such as festive foods with family and friends. And then just as the clock strikes midnight we open presents.
Leave a comment along with your email and tell me what you love or don't love about the holidays. You could win my short sweet holiday story,

Happy Hopping and have a wonderful Holiday Season.

I'm with you. I do not like the crowds. I try to shop early in the morning when most are sleeping. :)
Agreed, Amber! I'd rather avoid those crowds.
I hate trying to park at the shops!
I try to get organized for Christmas early, because otherwise it just becomes too much.

I hate when it snows and you have to tromp through the muck with all the presents you just bought! I would be the person that would drop them in the muck!
Happy Holidays!

I don't mind the crowds. It was fun people watching yesterday at the mall. I have to admit that Christmas Day with family did my head and nearly drove me to drink last year. Oh, wait. I did have a few drinks! This year hubby and I are running away to Hawaii for Christmas.
Happy Happy Holidays! Thanks for the great giveaway!
My fav thing about the holidays are the awesome sparkly lights! We drive around on Christmas Eve and see them all while singing along with carols on the radio! My fav holiday memory is doing this with my grandpa!

Most of my family is far away and I grab a new book or in many cases my Kindle and enjoy quit reading. I do love the hussle and bussle of the holidays. Well got to take the cookies out of the oven. Happy Holidays to everyone.

I love being with my family, I hate the craziness too (rude crowds) and that's because I used to work retail.

Love getting to see family and friends that I have missed out on due to distance and life.

We don’t really have any traditions except baking a lot. I’m mean hundreds and hundreds of cookies, cheesecakes, and brownies.

I hate the traffic around Fayetteville durin the holidays.. Can't drive one mile down the road without it taking like 10-15 minutes to get there which normally takes 3-5 uhhh thats ok cause i love being with my family during the holidays.

I agree with the love/hate thing. I don't like the crowds and the stress and the feeling that every year has to be more festive, more special than the last. But I do like getting together with my loved ones, enjoying time together and holiday treats. And I love the holiday decorations but I'm not a big fan of putting them up or, even worse, taking them down.

My favorite part of Christmas is singing carols and drinking eggnog with family and friends. Nothing says quality family time like singing and making a joyful noise.
Merry Christmas and thanks for the blog stop.

I love the day and watching how excited my kids get, but hate the work leading up to it and how quickly it's all over after the anticipation!
Great to have you 'back' Kaye. I was worried! :)
I don't like Black Friday or the Day ofter Christmas Shopping Days. I hate super large crowds stuffed in a store.
Merry Christmas
