We don't get snow down here but we get the lights. Our house gets more and more decorated each year, that really helps with feeling festive. Bring on the Christmas music and spiced cider! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33544 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:10:07 +0000 L2sweetpea 33544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Family, lights, decorations, Christmas music and snow. Though we haven't had snow yet :( So I'm a little bummed out. this time last year we had already had over 40" of snow, and this year we have had none! I can't believe it. I live in one of the snowiest city's in the US, and the south has had more snow that us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33486 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:30:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 33486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Putting up the tree and listening to Christmas music </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33368 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:34:53 +0000 chopsuey 33368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: I just checked your profile to see where you live! :) I'm in Atlanta, GA. I had no idea it snowed here until I moved out here! My sister went to Wellesley and it was crazy seeing pictures of her in waist deep snow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33365 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:33:49 +0000 cyndistar3 33365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cold weather, hot cocoa and christmas trees :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33360 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:29:09 +0000 mrs. wagon 33360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: it sure would be nice to be able to wear flip flops all year (and not have to shop for a winter wardrobe! So expensive!) but I always say I couldn't move from here because I'd miss snow too much!</p> <p>At this point I may as well move to milder climates because we ain't seein NO snow!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33358 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:28:05 +0000 chopsuey 33358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: HAHA. I actually don't mind the wild winter! I've lived in CA almost my entire life, so I'm used to wearing flip flops and open toed shoes all year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33356 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:25:44 +0000 jennylynn 33356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the first snow :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33353 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:22:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 33353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I know, it makes me sad :( as a native New Englander, I totally love blizzards and 2 feet of snow! Haha. We always joke that we get 2 weeks of autumn and 2 weeks of spring between our scorching summers and icy winters, but this year autumn has gone on forever :( I'm hearing that there won't be a white Christmas this year, which makes me sad! I decorated my tree one year with a White Christmas theme (all white and silver) and it snowed the next day... I'm seriously considering re-decorating the tree to be that way to bring us some snowwww!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33351 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:19:46 +0000 chopsuey 33351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: It's been unusually mild this year! Last year we had a white christmas.. wondering if it'll even be cold this christmas? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-33347 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:14:53 +0000 mrs. wagon 33347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watching my favorite movie of all time, White Christmas... putting up the Christmas tree... wrapping presents... and snow!

I find putting up the tree and turning on a little Charlie Brown Christmas music does the trick. Baking Christmas cookies and drinking peppermint hot cocoa also helps/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-31496 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 12:04:55 +0000 Rosie Girl 31496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snow! And we don't have any yet this year :( It doesn't feel like Christmas at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-31483 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 10:41:38 +0000 heffalump 31483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always lived in Florida so I'm used to having a not cold holiday season. I never feel like it's the holidays until they actually get there because we don't do a lot of preparation like decorating for Chanukah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-31482 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 10:37:42 +0000 MegWag 31482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Putting up the Christmas tree. I love the lights and the sparkle! I grew up in Texas, so I learned to ignore the outside weather and make the inside feel like the holidays :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makes-it-feel-like-the-holidays-to-you#post-31481 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 09:43:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 31481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've lived all over the country but now that I'm in the South, it can make it difficult to feel like the holidays are coming up when I'm still wearing a t-shirt. I like the feeling of bundling up to go outside and also getting the oven going, cooking yummy treats. That's what makes me get in the holiday spirt. What about you? </p>
