Do you wish Christmas would come and go quickly or do you look forward to it with great enthusiasm? Do you believe Christmas has lost its meaning given all the materialistic connotations associated with it or does it still have a special place in your heart?

We still celebrate Christmas with some traditions - midnight mass (the only time my husband and one daughter attends church!) opening of the first present and having a little drink. Putting up the Christmas tree, with any new member of the family or friend putting the angel on the tree and obligatory photos. This year not so many ornaments as no one helps to take them down! I love giving presents as well as receiving them - and if you make a reasonable list, you will get the presents you want.
Going to see the Christmas lights, and most of all, distributing Christmas prfesents on Christmas Day to the less fortunate people and their families.
