My favorite holiday moment is driving through the Plaza at 2 or 3 in the morning while it's snowing. The lights and the snow are SO pretty and you don't have to hassle with the pedestrian traffic or other cars.
Although I get psyched for Christmas immediately following Halloween, there's a part of me that doesn't truly celebrate the season until I hear the song "Christmas Carol" by Skip Ewing on the radio. It's an old country song about a girl named Christmas Carol who is adopted on Christmas Day, and I cry EVERY TIME I hear it. So from now until Christmas Day, I'll be frantically flipping back and forth between all of the country stations until I hear it. Merry Christmas, indeed!
My favorite holiday moment is right before going to bed on Christmas eve. I love the way that the tree looks with all of the presents underneath it and the room lit by only the lights on the tree. I have both the memory of that evening's celebration as well as the anticipation of everything planned for the next day. And maybe the child in me adds to this the feeling of excitement over presents to be opened the following day. Lately - any excitement I have over the present opening focuses on the kids and their reactions to thir gifts - but I'd be lying if I said I didn't eye those boxes with my name on them...
A box of Bon Bon fun! Wowee---I want me some of that goodness!
I'd have to say my favourite holiday moment is the day of Christmas eve, which my mom and I spend running around town getting all the last minute holiday details in order. We stop at the florist, pick up any forgotten gifts, and generally work ourselves into a fabulous frenzy!
After hanging up all the lights and setting up the tree, i like to turn off all my other lights, go outside in the freezing cold with pajamas and slippers on and admire all my handy work.
How fun! My favorite christmas moment is every year on christmas morning going into the kitchen and making bubble bread (maybe you call it monkey bread) for breakfast. mmmmmm!
Oooh this one is easy!
Every year on Christmas Eve, my mom runs outside and leaves wrapped packages of pajamas, socks/slippers, and sometimes a robe - all from Santa! My brother and I (and now my husband too) all race to the door, even though we see my mom running away giggling before she comes back in from the back yard. My favorite Christmas tradition of all time, and one we plan to do when we have kids someday!
My favorite holiday moment is the one that happens every year. When the presents are opened, the food is being prepared, and my entire family (it's quite extensive) is singing along with the same Disney Christmas record we've had for longer than I've been a live.
