For me the best thing is having a traditional Christmas dinner and the worst part is having to tolerate relatives who you hate and who hate you back.

    The best thing is being with family; the worst is that it's over too quickly!

    Best: Being with my immediate family....I love them with all my heart and they love me for who I am...
    Worst: Being with the extended family. They all judge me and tend to make me feel worse about my less the mediocre life. If I could skip that part I would, but I hate disappointing the immediate family....

    I'm a scrooge. There isn't much I enjoy about the holiday. I guess the best would be the food, the worst is the music. I find Christmas music supremely irritating.

    the best is all the baking and all the food and all the parties and fun!! the worst is that all of that takes place at my house and it's all so expensive!! We keep doing it though, so must be worth it!

    Least favorite: Consumerism, commercialism. Showing how much you love your kids by buying crap made in China made by slave labor.

    Well I enjoy the mass amounts of food in one day (I give away the excess but eat as much as I manage on that day and new years eve).
    I dislike the stomach ache later in the day... And the way all my family and friends try to make me drink alcohol. I don't like alcohol.

    The good: Presents. Im not even going to lie.
    Worst: I never seem to have enough money to buy all the gifts I declare "PERFECT" for certain people. (Some day I will win the lottery and everyone I know will get the best xmas EVER.)

    THE BEST: Watching my kids opening their gifts on Christmas morning. They're teenagers now, but I still love the reactions when they see what they got (plus, they deserve more than we can give - they're amazing).

    THE WORST: Spending so much money and the "planning" for eve & day - who's going where, who's bringing what, how much are we spending on those kids vs. those other kids, etc. I can't deal with long-winded conversations and talking through every possible option there is... make a plan and just GO WITH IT!

    Best: exchanging gifts with my husband and parents. I truly am more into giving them stuff...I am really ridiculously excited about the stocking stuffers I chose for my husband, for example. But I like the exchange, we all keep it thoughtful and low-key and have a blast with it.

    Worst: holiday parties I'd rather just not attend such as work Christmas lunch, extended family get-togethers, etc. I do say no sometimes, but eh...they just are kind of a drag.
