I love the idea of Christmas, where people trade gifts to show how much they love and appreciate each other.
Me too, although it is obviously the annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus, I think it is such a magical time of year!
The magic of the gifts carries over, I think, from the childhood belief in Santa Claus, and the faith that on Christmas morning, you will get something awesome.
That is so true. I love all the different christmas traditions from the presents to the christmas tree, turkey dinner and the advent calendars and wreaths. It is such a wonderful family time aswell.
I like the different color schemes popular at Christmas time: blue and silver and snowflakes; red and green and fir trees; and silver and gold accents with everything!
It is very beautiful and I love the fact that although it is a traditional christian festival, many non christians throughout the world culturally celebrate it too so it brings people together from all over.
Yes, that is cool. It's like an echo of the original Roman adaptation of the pagan winter festival that turned into Christmas. I like the multicultural idea that all Earth cultures are the heritage of the entire Earth!
I love your thinking on it all.  That is definitely a great way to look at things. I remember as a child taking part in the nativity play with joseph and mary and the donkey travelling to bethlehem and ending up in the stable.  It is lovely to think of all the other kids throughout the world doing the same christmas plays and celebrating together.
Yes, Joseph and Mary's trip to Bethlehem is an important story of Christmas. It's humbling to see how the Christian savior was born in humble surroundings.
Indeed and two thousand years later the world still celebrates it all
