What makes you guys feel like it's christmas.

I know last year i wasn't excited or anything until i decorated my tree.

But this year it wasn't until last night when i was watching Die Hard. I think that just reminded me how nice christmas can be.

Also what do you eat on christmas day?

What presents are you hoping you get?
 
i was at mcdonalds on wendsday, and my boyf, a friend of us and i was inside sitting upstairs(were they have windows that don't open and it's always really warm there...) and they where playing christmas, or christmasy music, and it was dark out side, and i could see the reflection of some christmas lights out side.. i felt very desember then!

every christmas eve they send this movie, that's called 3nuts for cinderella, it's romanian, or from some other baltic country.. i juts ca't remember.. anyways, this cellphone company has remade that movie.. well a small part of it, they use the same cloths and some actors that look alot like them!(just that move was made in 1975 or 78), they have usedthe same narrater(you can hear the original speach under, and a guy who speaks all the voices over...) i got atotal shoke.. and i felt very christmasy wehn i saw that one...

we eat a turky, and some steak, a ham steak, not the littke brown things, but this huge thing... and we have potetos, and some sour cabage(i don't know if anyone knowswhat that is)and we have vedgeballs, and a jam... suddenl i got very hungry!!and i wish i could eat this food today!

i'm hopeing for money.. at least from mom and dad! cos i'm going on a vacation in the beging of january!
and i'm not really wishing for nything this year! there is nothing i really need or want!! it odd really cos i didn't realise that until now.. that there is nothing i want
 
Decorating the tree....wel watchin my mum decorate the tree and the whole house I would do it with her but I have my exams..


OoOoo wel we go to my aunties and she cooks us Christmas Dinner with turkey and everything

I hoping to god that my mum will get me these straightners and I know ive got a sum jeans, a coat and a NYhoody.
 
We don't do present with christmas, we do them with Sinterklaas (a traditional Dutch feast from which Santa Claus is derived). I got marsepain, a chocolate letter, a recipe book (vegetarian offcourse) and the Charlie's Angels DVD.

I feel like christmas when I'm watching Christmas movies or christmas episodes of TV series.
 
I used to have the whole vegetarian christmas dinner, then i got really allergic to everything, so last year i had tomato soup, but this year i'm allergic to that, so i don't know what i'll be eating.
 
It's christmas soon?? I didnt realise until Alycat was telling me about her Sinterklaas, and I was like 'oh yea its christmas' hmmm we havent even put a christmas tree up! (We are v.lazy 😛)

Well christmas we eat like heaps. First I go to my Oma's (that means Nanna in Dutch) for lunch which is 2 hours away and eat there a huge sheperd pie and salad then we go to my nanna's who is Italian so she cooks lots of Lasagne for our family and she makes us eat like heaps and we also have salad with that.

hmmm.....I want a pony for christmas!! Nah it aint gonna happen cause ive been saying that for the last 1 or so years, I want one of the buffy DVD's or a CD or maybe some summer clothes cause I need that!

Quick note for Alyson:Allycat is he, boy

I'm not yet in a Christmas mood.I 'll probably feel it when I'll open my presents...
 
The "Holidays are coming" coke advert.

Although this year with working and college it wont feel like xmas till like 10pm Xmas eve.
 
i think it started feeling like christmas today for me. We a big snowstorm and it snowed pretty much all day, we put up christmas decortions and my mom made apple pie! lol

for christmas i want a dvd player and the potc dvd!
 
Living in Arizona and enjoying Arizona's weather doesn't much prepare me for Christmas. I have noticed that on occasion it is a little bit harder to get in the spirit because of that. You know fake and stapled snow doesn't move one in such ways...lol

Really though, it is the magic the people around me start to create. It is the songs and singing in the stores (and on the radio) It is the lights that everybody strings on their houses and the trees that sit in the windows lit up brightly. It is the smells and the cards. It is so the shopping! It is THE MOVIES (its always the movies)! Christmas is wonderful.

As far as meals go...well as much as I luv tradition, I also dislike some. So in my family I created a tradition to eat an untraditional Christmas meal. LOL @ myself! At Thanksgiving time we work so hard to create this unbelievable feast full of really good and traditional foods that at Christmas time, I'm ready for something else. In the past years we have done themes such as Chinese, steaks on the grill, finger foods (how I luv finger foods), french bread pizzas, and Mexican. I'm not sure what we are doing this year yet. I'm sure it will be fun though!
 
Good point Chas, the movies.

They're really what bring forth the christmas mood, cause off the cheesy things that happen, love, friendship etc etc. And then for the moment you wish you're life was like that. Exactly what the christmas spirit is!
 
Don't they?! I just luv the movies! I always luv the movies but during this time and all the Christmassy ones that come out are just the best! I'm glad you agree!!!! 🙂
 
sorry Allycat, my mistake! Also the other day we were at some celebrating thing, I think it was my nana's birthday and every time whether its christmas, easter new years any celebration we do the exact same thing and it was for some reason so empty and canged and its starting to not be the same as my dads always away, my coisens always work and my uncle is no longer there and I remembered what was good about all the things they
happen at this time and it made me feel real good 😀

Does anyone else have tales they have to eagerly tell us??
 
I don't feel like Christmas until it's like a few days before...that's the way I like it though...I hate feeling Christmas...it just reminds me of how I can't afford it and other things. That makes me so very depressed...I just hate feeling that way. I hate feeling suffocated. So I guess what makes it feel like Christmas is the arguing and the guilt...not to mention the over eating...that is a great part of Christmas...eating the yummy food that you don't have to cook...that's wonderful...that and the cup of hot coa-coa in the morning...but aside from that Christmas is something that makes me want to puke quite frankly.
 
I dunno i always though family does i mean the music then the family comes and close friends and you all laugh eat and enjoy yourself see cause thats when you realize your family is there for you and that your close friends are family too even if they aren't blood all the problems melt away for most and you enjoy chistmas for that couple of days...
