I'm weird and maybe it's because of my childhood but I don't look forward to Christmas. (My parents just isn't to all the gifting. This applies to Christmas and birthdays. ) All the buying and spending and deciding what to get everyone does not make me happy. I'm such a horrible gifter. If I could give everyone money I would.
DH loves christmas. He'll start listening to Christmas music and watching movies on November 1st! He loves thinking of gift ideas and loves wrapping the gifts. (He does not like the crazy shopping madness that happens.)
Apart from all the gift buying, I do like Christmas. Love the holiday drinks that come out, visiting with family, SNOW(!!) but only back east, not in Seattle and some christmas music ('Nysnc's christmas album... yeah!!)
