I love the smell of a real Christmas tree - also, my mum's Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.
Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.
The truth is that our way of celebrating the Christmas season does spring from myriad cultures and sources, from St. Nicholas to Coca-Cola advertising campaigns.
Christmas is far and away my favorite holiday. I love everything about it, from the event that inspired it, hoping for a white one, to wrapping presents. But mostly I love having family and friends gathered, and sharing traditions.
Christmas is a time for slipping into familiar patterns.
I love Christmas, not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.
Coming from Chicago, I like a white Christmas.
I love 'O Holy Night.' On Christmas Eve, there's a service at the church where I grew up, and at midnight, we would always sing, 'O Holy Night' with candles.
Every December, I host a tree-trimming party. I serve chili with cornbread and lots of good wine. It's a wonderful party, and it shows how much adults like to play.
I love the excitement, the childlike spirit of innocence and just about everything that goes along with Christmas.
I used to do Christmas tours every year.
You've never met anyone who likes Christmas more than me. I go quite Liberace. My kids have all got stick-on antlers.
I'd love to have a Christmas classic under my belt. It's hard to write a Christmas song.
Essentially, Christmas has always been about spending time with family. We had one big lunch filled with banter, warmth, laughter and great food. Doing up the tree with my mom was another fun exercise.
I love Halloween, trick or treating and decorating the house. And I love Thanksgiving, because of the football and the fall weather. And of course, I love Christmas - that's my favorite of all!
The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree - those to me, are the scents of the holidays.
Christmas is all about festivity, family, being together, reading stories and entertaining one another.
I feel like people have been so used to listening to choirs during Christmas, so they love voices when it comes to Christmas, and that is exactly what we are.
