I love it all, but if I have to pick just one think it will have to be the family traditions. We always go as a family to get a tree, then we always watch the same silly show on Dec 23rd, and always watch the Christmas shows that has been running since before I was born and I have always watched. Even when I started working and had to work on Dec 24th (our Christmas celebration) I had to buy them on dvd so I could watch them on the right day. And baking with my mother and my children.
And a very close second is the gifts, giving gifts that are well thought through and perfect for the recepient is so much fun. And wrapping them just so.
Oh and the Christmas ornaments, I just love the memories of each of them. The yearly picture ornaments, the old ones that are in a box with a post card from my grandmother who died a few years back (only read the card when decorating the tree and putting it all back together) and it has nothing Christmas about it, just have always lived in the box.
