This one's a tough one for me. I enjoy all of the above with the possible exception of my birthday. I dislike being another year older when I still feel like I'm 21. LOL

THANKSGIVING!! The world has made Christmas too commercial and all of it makes me sick. My kids know quite well the true meaning of Christmas. But... after all the years of struggling financially at Christmas time and the kids never seem to get what they asked for and they do so well at hiding the disappointment, Christmas is not my favorite holiday. Although, the reason we celebrate it is not lost on my family.

I love Christmas because of the special meaning. Even though it's a very lonely time for me, I still look forward to it with excitement because of the birth of Christ. Of course, the pretty lights and beautiful music help too! 
I will never leave you.....

Christmas!!! I guess being a J.W. for 5 yrs (18 yrs ago) allowed me to see that not celebrating didn't make God blessed, or me holy. I LOVE Christmas and Easter the most, and equaly. But had to pick one. I love the town square all lit up, and the music playing. They have carriage rides etc... It is beautifull, and it's free! I can't wait! Blessings, Thomas and Robin

In life we must learn how to love, live with it and learn to let go.
