    I love December because everyone is getting ready for Christmas I love the dark nights and snuggling down

  515. Jennifer Rhymer says:

    December is the official build up to Christmas, I open my advent calendar, wear my Christmas jumper and decorate the tree and the house. It’s all about preparing for Christmas Day and putting some sparkle into the cold & dreary weather and dark days

    I love Boxing day when its just me and hubby after the madness of christmas eve and christmas day

    I love that it doesn’t take a lot to find happiness, kids are excited, everyone’s looking forward to Christmas, family time. There’s no other month like it

    It is the little treat of chocolate you get eveyday in the run up to the big day in a chocolate advent calendar.

    Everything to do with Christmas but especially the aromas that fill the house from both cooking and candles

  544. Tracey Hallmark says:

    I love the build up and excitement in the run up to Christmas there’s so much to keep us occupied from putting the tree up, shopping for gifts and wrapping them, Christmas crafting and my favourite of all visiting Christmas markets and Santa’s grotto with the family

    I love the annual trip to choose the Christmas tree with my husband and two sons, then getting home and decorating it while listening to the Christmas CD and drinking hot chocolate!

    I absolutely love Christmas. I love doing a countdown with my children, watching Christmas films, we love having cosy nights in with hot chocolates and marshmallows, getting the house all decorated. It’s the most magical time of the year

  559. Theresa M says:

    Call me old fashioned but what I love most about December is
    chestnuts roasting on an open fire and Jack frost nibbling at my toes (so long as I don’t get chilblains) yuletide carols being sung by a choir and folks dressed up like Eskimos :0)
    (But mainly the chestnuts)

    Spending so much time with my family, it’s the one time of year we are all in the same place at the same time enjoying ourselves

  563. DawnLouise says:

    I don’t know where to start!

    Spending quality time with all my nearest and dearest, seeing the excitement in the children’s faces on Christmas morning when they see Santa has been, hot chocolate stations with Christmas movies, Christmas themed afternoon teas, all the really good food and indulgent dessert, the pretty lights on the tree, seeing the children’s Christmas performances. What a lovely time of year

    I love decorating the house with all the wonderful Christmas decorations that I have collected over the years. Each one a memory.

    The lead up and excitement of Christmas. Going to markets, comfort foods and the lovely atmosphere.

    I love the build up to the big day, Christmas eve snuggling up with my little one who will be bursting at the seams for the big day.

  578. Keeley Shaw says:

    I love everything about Christmas, the whole of December is a month full of the sights, sounds and smells of the fast approaching big day. I love the decorations, the cosiness at home with candles glowing and a Christmas film on surrounded by my family. But most of all I love Christmas day as we spend it with the whole family and it’s a day of fun, laughter and making memories.

  581. Daphne Monk says:

    I love the idea of being cosy on the sofa with a fire glowing hot chocolate and a rom/com, not sure that will happen this year

    Seeing the joy and excitement written all over my childrens face is the best part of December for me

    My Birthday. It is on the 14th. My husband tends to take me away for a night in a foodie hotel with a special meal. Only after that can I start getting excited for Christmas

    just all the preparation for Christmas. I have a book I use every year with my lists to tick off. Love all the last minute shopping too!

    Christmas markets, Christmas lights, Christmas shows and all the Christmas smells (cinnamon, orange and roasted chestnuts).

    So much to love about December. Put the decorations up especially the tree. Wrapping presents and spending time with family and friends.

    My favourite thing about December is the run up to Christmas. The excitement in the air, the Christmas songs on the radio, the happy faces and the all-round good cheer.

  633. Janine Houghton says:

    I love putting on cheesy Christmas movies in the glow of fairy lights from the tree and a big mug of Bailey’s hot chocolate to sip on. So simple but this time gives me perfect relaxation.

  637. Louise Heaton says:

    My favourite thing is discovering, and buying more pretty lights to relax with. I love sitting in the dark with the lights twinkling.
