It's the most wonderful time of year!
Food, alcohol, parties, presents (I like cars and jewellery, in case anyone was wondering) and, of course, Christmas songs. Don't you just love Christmas?

Yes, I do. I love the chilly weather, the Christmas trees and the Christmas lights.

Change 'chilly weather' to 'hot weather' and you have it.

I'm with Khan, I like the chilly weather and I miss snow. I love real fires and hot chocolate and warm towels and having three duvets on the bed, and how frost looks so pretty on the fields.

It's been cold and rainy in Sydney for the past fortnight.
Shit summer is shit.

Looks like you've traded what we had a while ago - it be very warm and sunny down south. 8)

Yeah enjoy it. One week of sunshine a year still couldn't get me to live in Melbourne.
I'm over Christmas. Used to love it, then I made the mistake one year of putting christmas songs on my ipod. Once you hear them outside of Christmas season it's just lame.
Possibly converting to Festivus.

Always dug Christmas. I hate half of the songs, but love the other half. Only thing I'm not crazy about is my family's Christmas dinner. I really don't care for prime rib.
Anyway, enjoy this Baldwin Brothers Christmas Special.

Yeah, I agree. Depends on who's singing, too.
Love this version of "White Christmas":

Hard to believe this guy was a singer for a grunge/alternative band called STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and VELVET REVOLVER:
My only guess is that Scott was back on heroin when he made the decision to do a Christmas album. This video is pure cheese and so embarrassing that one can only imagine Wieland will backtrack a few months from now and claim it was all an elaborate joke.
Also, the video is 100% racist shizz. There is not one single black person in it.

Just send that prime rib my way, bro. I can find a good use for it. Might even give Santa a scrap or two. She's always got a healthy appetite.

I like the festive season. But the origins of Christmas must be recognised, hence why I always set up the stable with Jesus with a candle next to it. But I do love the atmosphere, the charm, the delicious foods, the carols and the family gatherings.
I'd love to experience a white Christmas. I loathe the heat down here in Australia, and it makes it that little bit more difficult to down five courses of food on Christmas day.

Nonsense. It's not Christmas unless you're sitting on a federation wrap around deck, eating yabbies from the dam and lamb from the paddock with a crownie or a glass of shiraz while fighting off horse flies.

It does in the mountains . We've had it a couple of times where I live, the capital, on particularly cold and damp winters (well, colder and damper than the usual ones!). I've lived here for almost ten years now and it's only snowed once or twice, and fairly lightly at that.

I´m spending Christmas in England and I hope I get snow. I miss snow.

Precisely, FM. The aesthetics and the traditions of Christmas are all very nice, but it is important to keep in mind the true reason for the season.

I love the heat - while a white Christmas would be nice, I do enjoy going for a swim and chilling outside in the sun.
