How do you feel about Christmas? Love it? Hate it?

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?

Every year I look forward to Christmas. It is supposed to be the one day of the year when all my family get together, people travel in from out of town and we all try to not fight with each other. There's always a blue, someone cracks a nana at someone else and a few of us retreat to the shed to hide. Every year it's the same, but every year I get excited about us all being together, and hope that one Christmas it might be different. These days 2 of my family members try to make it so they aren't in the same place at the same time, and hey presto, the ones that are there all get along! :-) Always makes me laugh.
Since having children, I look forward to seeing the excitement on their faces, and I try to make it a hugely exciting/fun time for them. We have the pressies after a big special brekkie, then there are more pressies at my parents place, a huge lunch which Mum and I cater together and plan together, games, lots of laughter, and swimming. I love it, always have, before kids, with kids, with the fighting sisters, or without. It's about family, friends, happiness, and I wish, less about the commercialism.
