What I Like/Don't Like About Christmas

Trying a new thread, inspired by a conversation with a friend who says she used to love Christmas but has turned into the Grinch.

Give just two items per post!
(1) what you DON'T like about Christmas.
(2) what you DO like about it.

These are mine:

(1) Crowds.
(2) The quiet bit between Christmas and the New Year.

1. The hype in stores.
2. Christmas itself.

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can borrow mine.

2)...and far...FAR too many re-runs of It's A Wonderful Life - EVERYWHERE! :P

'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives...

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

1. I hate watching people get DEPRESSED over not having the money to buy everybody they know and love "gifts"
Seems that the gift of FRIENDSHIP gets lost amidst the credit card bills and wrapping paper?
2. I hate TREES to be hacked down, and it makes me sad to see a dead tree at curbside, bleeding left-over tinsel as it waits to be hauled away as "garbage".

(1) If anything, the mistaken notion that a gift must cost $$$!
(2) The atmosphere created by all the friendliness & consideration shown by everyone!

I may, perhaps, dislike the fact that Christmas only comes ONCE/year!

I also like the proliferation of these Christmas videos appearing at YouTube via the world... One of many from the USA, then from Northern Ireland and to prove it is all about the experience/attitude... Dorchester, England
Also not to forget Canada... 4 Calgary Malls
Merry Christmas... everyone!
