So what is your favourite things to do during the festive holidays? Eat? Play games? Hanging out with the family?Or taking a stroll out in the freezing cold weather of snow no matter how cold it is? I love to mainly spend time with the family and eat lol. Its the only one time when I get to eat a lot of sweet stuff. But nothing beats home cooked meals as I love eating that to keep me warm. Also I tend to play games with my siblings as well most of the time we would play crash team racing lol. And whenever I play I keep quiet. Then my bro said *uh oh guys if eni is quiet its not a good thing. Keep an eye on her you know she can come first somehow.* then all players look at me I simply just keep on playing the game lol smirking a bit. Its really fun, so what are yours?

My most favorite thing about the whole holiday season is waiting for it to be over with, either that or just buy things that are dirt cheep. But mostly what I do during Christmas really is just spend some time with the family and have dinner and all of that and get some gifts.

Pelt snowballs at my brother (if it snows). There is nothing more satisfying than that. Other than that I do end up playing video games at home quite a bit and help out with the dinner.

I tend to play videogames, mostly those I get as presents. Besides, it's the only time my parents won't say a word to me for playing all day, so it's not like I can let this chance pass

The only other thing left is to spend time with the family, and while it's not half bad, the atmosphere is quite tense right now. I'm glad to finally see some of my family I haven't seen in the whole 2015, but that's as far as it goes.

Oh, and I will probably go party with my friends. They wanted to do something years ago, but the idea got scrapped, maybe this year they feel more like it. It's always a blast when we party, and having a real excuse to celebrate something makes it even better

A lot of things really. I like to relax and not really worry about anything else for a while of course maybe play some video games or watch youtube videos like I usually do when I have time off. Besides that, I like going out a bit if it's snowing because I'm one of those people who likes when it's snowing (I know I'm weird like that). I also like eating a lot of food I probably wouldn't eat much during other times of the year like herring or christmas ham. It's also nice because it's the one time of the year my family gets together, not counting potential arguing but managed to avoid that last christmas at least.

I just hope that it ends soon and does not leave me broke.  Too many birthdays right around that time, and it kills the wallet.  My favorite thing during this holiday would be seeing my family that I only get to see once or twice a year.  It's always nice to see my mom and sister

IgorBird122 : Do you not like the holidays Igor? It kinda seems that way. Also its always nice to spend time with the family or being able to buy something that's on sale for a good price to pay.

DylanMcKaig : Haha! That's so funny! You know what? When it does snow I do that with my siblings boy is that fun. Yeah its always nice to help out with the Christmas dinner as well. Because things like that tend to be fun. ^^

EX Palen : That's nice. Do you play with any family members besides yourself? Oh yes that's the best thing about parents you know. When those days of young they used to complain about us playing video games a lot lol. Its always at least good to see family members once in a while when you can.

Zlinqx : That's the best thing you can do relax. It can calm you in many forms right? You don't eat much during Christmas not unless its the dinner? Are you not a hungry person?

lordbelial669 : Oh sorry to hear about that. And as for your family I am sure they will be happy to see you too. ^^

Eniitan : Relaxing is always nice, at least for someone laid back like me, I feel it's easier to do so during the christmas holidays though it's typically a time that can be stressful for others, when it comes to buying gifts it can be a bit for me as well not knowing what to get but otherwise it's nice. I was talking about food that you typically eat during christmas and not so much during other times of the year. I still eat during the rest of the day like I normally would though I'm probably not the biggest eater most of the time.

Watch the Christmas Specials and movie reruns. It's not Christmas without them...

I favorite thing to do.... Well, I can't pick one, so I'll tell every single one of them!

My family and I have a small tradition, to where we put actual candy canes on our Christmas tree. It's fun and adds a nice touch, because most of the colors we use are red, gold, green, and white. Plus, we get to eat some candy off the tree! Don't worry, we sanitize the canes before consuming.

Another one of my favorites during this season is the warm and cozy atmosphere. It's a feeling I can't really explain with just adjectives. Try to imagine curling up in a thick blanket with hot chocolate (or tea), sitting next to a fireplace, and doing your favorite thing with your close ones.

And my final one are the days. Usually I love my days lengthy and filled with things to do. However, I've grown to love sleeping more, since I'm able to remember my dreams vividly. I also fun to draw them out and make little comics of them.

Well ... I like to eat and spend time with my family but it looks like I might have to work on the 24 and that's when we have our family get together maybe I will be off but we'll see ...

If it snowed here I would be outside everyday... I'm hot natured so I loveee cold weather <3

Eniitan : Sadly, I'm the only true gamer in my family. I used to play games with my cousins back in time, but they are far older than me and have long moved ahead in life (one of the reasons why I don't see them often). Still, if the chance opens up, we still play together, like that time we found my cousin's PS3 and installed it on my aunt's bedroom

With my maternal family I tend to play board games, which are equally fun and are more suited to the whole family. If I get a new one for Christmas or another celebration we have in early January, we proceed to test it as soon as we can.

I also forgot about the Ski Jumping competition, with the Four Hills Tournament going on between December 27th and January 6th. I've become a huge fan of this sport, and maybe we can attend that tournament live in the 2020s. 

Zlinqx : Lucky you! I have things to worry about and make sure I have the presents done before Christmas day lol. Ok I understand why you said that.

steel_attacker : I know right? It gives of that festive feeling vibe that you need to get excited for Christmas. XD

Kuti_Kat : I love candy canes. Its been a while since I have had those. Maybe I can buy it myself or get my uncle to buy them. Its always nice to get cozy I mean I am sure it is the Christmas feels that gets to you. Nothing can beat a hot coco while in a warm place by a nice fireplace. XD

Bintsy : Aww sorry to hear about that Laura. I hope things can be better for you. So at least you can spend some time with your family.

EX Palen : THATS SAD! Well looks like I am a little lucky with that. With my family. Its the whole siblings that are the gamers. The only two people who are not so much is my sister and my cousin who are both girls. So I am the only girl gamer in the family lol. And board games is another things to play. Do you play cluedo? Or monopoly?

I guess the older you get, the more you realize that Christmas is something more geared for the younger ones. As a lot of times between work and life stresses, Christmas time seems to bring extra stress. Especially if you happen to work in the retail industry. (Thankfully I dont any more, but did plenty when I was younger through my college days)

My personal favorite thing about the holidays is the home made treats people make and the parties. Just hanging together with friends and having a good time. Going to see Christmas lights is always fun too.

Eniitan : We did play Cluedo once, and I do own a Monopoly, but we're more into other board games. You wouldn't imagine the many themes there exist for board games. Cluedo and Monopoly are just too mainstream

Jordanv78 : While seeing Christmas lights is fun, it stops being fun when Christmas comes, because it's been A MONTH since they were installed and turned on. If they really stuck with all the Christmas things to only December, maybe after the 8th as its a national holiday over here, it would make sense, but it's ridiculous to have it in mid November, even more with all the discussions about saving energy, energy costs and so on.

Jordanv78 : Yep that I agree lol. Then we get people asking for woolly clothes of the sort or socks lol. I know about the stress and stuff but I didn't think it would be that much. aww....yeah I love homemade treats as well! As a matter of fact I am going to make smor fudge it a dark and milk chocolate together. And with marshmallows in the middle with graham crackers as the base and on the top to finish it as well. The second fudge I will be doing is cookies and cream basically I will have white chocolate melted and have crushed oreos mixed in the white chocolate. And another thing I will be doing is making two ice creams the first one will be cookies and cream crushed oreos with the ice cream based mixed in. And peanut butter with dark chocolate swirl I am going to kick it up and notch though I am going to add in peanut butter cups to the ice cream as well. Also I LOVE Christmas lights!

EX Palen : that's nice that you play Cludeo once. Do you think maybe that you will get new board games to play?

Eniitan : It would be nice to get a new one, but I'm afraid I'm running out of places to store them

Another possibility is that my eldest cousin brings home one of his games for the reunion. He owns more board games than me, and while some are too complicated for the whole family, we always manage to have fun one way or the other. I'm impatient to see which of the two options will take place this year.

Back when I was in Quebec I always enjoyed Ciné-Cadeau on the local public TV station. We unavoidably saw the same comics year after year... so what? We all need a time of the year when we want to feel young again!

I never get tired of surprising my wife. My most favorite thing about the holidays is looking for something for her to absolutely blow her mind. Usually, I come through every year and she's totally surprised with whatever it is I got her. That's one of the greatest feelings in the world...the look on your wife's face after she opens the present. I always get a big hug and kiss. It never fails.

This year, she's been eyeing this laptop that she needs for work. Her job is about to get a whole lot easier, and she doesn't even know it.

Stay inside. I don't want to be out in the cold snow. I don't care about driving for 2 hours looking at other people's frivolously expensive displays. I don't like caroling with strangers.

But of course, I can't be some big old party pooper now, can I? I love watching Christmas movies. I love sitting around a table, drinking hot chocolate, and playing games. But my favorite thing to do is to curl up in 500 blankets and do something inside with my family.
