    Favorite: The lights! I will take any holiday that includes putting up lights at this dreary time of year. Are there any June holiday's for the southern hemisphere?

    Worst: Shopping. Where did all these lunatics come from?! Even grocery shopping is a chore, with that d@mn music drilling into your ears on repeat. I wonder if the CIA ever used Little Drummer Boy to drive out a dictator or torture a terrorist?

    Favorite: Family, movies, gifts, food, no school
    Worst: Crowds. I live a block away from a huge mall and a major tourist attraction that is known for it's Christmas display. It's insanity. Also, violence and death. It seems like there's a lot of shootings and suicides around the holidays and it makes me sad.

    Shopping in crowds is the worst, the best is spending time with my family!

    The best is seeing all of my family and our crazy traditions.

    The worst is working in retail when everyone else is stressed out doing their shopping and I get blamed for everything, including once (no crap) making a customer's dog die in the car when he got his head in something because 'I took too long to ring them out'. :/

    The magic of it all. I love it - everything about it. My kids writing their notes to Santa, baking cookies, seeing my girls faces on Christmas morning, getting drunk with my sister. It's all fabulous.

    my favorite is the food.
    my not so favorite is the greed ridden excuse for a holiday it has become.

    Best thing about Christmas is the overall happy feeling you get.
    Worst thing is the loneliness. I don't have a lot of family so there's no big gathering or anything.

    Best - Getting to spend time with extended family
    Worst - Feels like the holiday is too commercialized. Too much Santa and not enough Christ.

    Honestly, the worst are the songs that have been played over and over and over...I have to agree with the poster above, the lights are pretty sweet.
