No, I don't. I never have time to put up my xmas tree and I'm usually never on time with house cleaning and all preparations so it always ends up in a big mess. Let alone buying presents. I find it easy for all ladies in the family and terribly difficult for guys. Therefore I end up buying loads of alcohol, which is not healthy.
Have you spent Xmas in any other countries, and which Xmas did you like best?

I spent Xmas in the UK and tried to prepare 'Wigilia' singlehandedly and, worse still, advertise the idea to my boyfriend's family. What a disaster! Not a single dish came out right and they looked at me as if I came from Mars. I wish I'd let them go to the pub instead.

The next morning was fine, they prepared all the food, distributed all the presents and the rest of Xmas was actually quite nice. We ate a lot of sickly sweet and alcoholic stuff and then went for a walk. In the evening we played board games, drinking some more alcohol.

What were the best and worst Xmases you can remember?

Best Xmases up to the age of about 12. Worst Xmases all that followed. We always have a fight right before Wigilia, usually because of my being late. And then some more later when I refuse to eat herring.

Do you believe in Santa Claus?

He he...

Actually, yes, I do. I believe in people who can become Santas for a day and do something good for others. Especially when it's not expected. ;)

With family at my dad's place.

Do you actually like Xmas?

I can't stand it, it's just way to much trouble. I enjoy spending time with my family on more relaxed terms. Christmas is stress.

Have you spent Xmas in any other countries, and which Xmas did you like best?

States and Poland... back then I enjoyed the Polish way of celebrating... in the states it was just so over the top, plastic, annoying and forced it makes me want to vomit.

What were the best and worst Xmases you can remember?

ugh.

Do you believe in Santa Claus?

I know that St. Nick was a real person at one point. Believing in Santa Clause however makes about as much sense as believing in any other higher being.

I spend my Christmas at home. My sister and her fiancee visited us this year.

Do you actually like Xmas?

I suppose I do, though I'm in a serious lack of the christmas atmosphere this year.

Have you spent Xmas in any other countries, and which Xmas did you like best?

No, I have not.

What were the best and worst Xmases you can remember?

Every year is quite the same.

Do you believe in Santa Claus?

I don't know. He didn't bring anything this year. Maybe he's still mad about the raindeer skin hanging on the wall in my living room. One thing I know for sure, If he doesn't bring anything next year, another raindeer will be missing...:)

I'll be home in Christmas. I like home.

I'm not raised in a Christian country, so I don't feel the same way as you do, guys.
We know a guy called "Noel" back in Turkey instead of Santa Claus. It's others' "father" and we don't mind him walking around in the streets of Turkey. He looks sweet but he is a stranger, at the end.

In Turkey, Christmas is not traditionally celebrated, as you might have guessed, but you can see some Christmas trees (or the fake ones) in shopping malls, or your foreigner friends' homes. They look nice, but I've never felt like buying one and putting it into my living room. I prefer candle light and some other sweet decorations, and they aren't necessarily taken out from their boxes in Christmas time.

After moving and living in "Christian countries", for about 8-9 years of my adult life, I still don't feel like Christmas is important for me, and I still don't mind it. Except one thing...
Only thing I care and like about Christmas is, its power and tradition to bring family members together at least for couple of days once a year.
It saved some of my days couple of times, because I witnessed presents and the atmosphere softening the bad mood of others. They understood, or they behaved like they understood their mistakes and kiddish angers as pointless stupid things and they started to behave normally again. At least for couple of more weeks.

For me, Ramazan (Ramadan) has/had a similar effect. It brings families together, makes some angers and resentments washed away, creates a better atmosphere to forget little unimportant bad memories.

If something gives you a sip of good mood, you gotta take it. You don't have to see and care about the "commercial effects" of it. See the good thing in Christmas. Don't be a kid. Christmas is a good thing.

Merry Christmas to all.
