I love Christmas music and singing carols.
Susan Logan says
Setting out my collection of old ceramic trees always sparks my Christmas spirit. Each one is a gift from family/friends, but my most favorite belonged to my grandparents.
Sue says
My favorite part of the holidays is having a looong break from work (I’m a teacher!)
Kim Carter says

My favorite part of Christmas is turning on the rotating Christmas tree stand that was owned by my Grandparents! They bought it new in 1958, the year I was born! It has been said that there was no new gadget that my grandfather would pass up. That year it was a tinsel tree and a gold painted rotating musical stand. It was always MY job to crawl under the tinsel tree, (that I also have and use with the stand) and flip those magic switches to start the tree turning or the music box inside the stand to play. I would lay for hours mesmerized by the beautiful colors of the color wheel and the music box, and the tree turning. Of course, there would only be one color ornament used and it changed from year to year. My favorite being either red or the beautiful 60’s blue that I currently use. Did i mention how beautifully colored the switches are? Turquoise, red and white!!! I have two of these stands by Majestic as I need a back up as they tend to “act” up 60 years later and need to be disassembled and attended to from time to time.
The tree and stand was tossed many years after I had grown and my mom was at the house taking care of aging grandparents. Of course the astute nextdoor neighbor snatched it right up and took possession. When I asked about the whereabouts of the vintage Christmas set up, and learned of its fate, I marched right over to the neighbors house and politely asked for all of it, everything, back!! Of course my mother was horrified on two fronts. ONE, that it was back in the house, and two, that I had asked for it back!!! You just don’t do that she said. Well, i am glad I did. And now it is a part of my own families Christmas holiday and hopefully will be passed on to my grandchildren for more Christmas memories. I’m sure it will fall out of fashion again and be relegated to the attic for a time waiting to be discovered by another generation of excited, wide eyed holiday participants or possibly by another neighbor. But wherever the shiny, brite tinsel tree goes, i’m sure it will be a magical christmas for someone. Possibly even a little boy laying under the tree flipping the switches one by one and staring endlessly as another Christmas season starts. Just by flipping a turquoise switch.

I love the way everything slows down. The stores are closed, the streets are empty. Some things are more important than making money.

Once more, what is my favorite part of Christmas? Spending relaxed time with family and friends– reading the Christmas story from Luke (KJV of course), eating foods that are reminders of loved ones no longer with us, finding that special present for under the tree that lets each person know what important they are to me. Memories make Christmas special.
