Family - everyone flies in from where ever it is they're living and we all have a blast!
The sights and sounds - I love looking at Christmas lights, I love hearing carols, I love the smell of home-made food, hot chocolate, baked goodies, pumpkin pie, chili, apple cider...etc.
Giving gifts - my favorite thing!!!
Long hours at work - either opening at 7, which means I have to be there at 6am, or closing at 10, which means we're there until 10 45.
Bad weather - I dislike snow over an inch in accumilation because people drive like freakin maniacs and generally are on my car's a$$
Grinches - you know the type (especially if you work in retail). All bow down to the grinch - I hope you get coal and a spanking you meanies!
