    Yes it's that time of the year again; and we all know what's just around the cornner; Christmas! It's the time where you snuggle up in the winter by the fire driking hot coco and eating marshmellows; or it could be the time where you're sweating like a pig while you enjoy a cool drink and a scrumptious meal outside with your buds and family. Christmas is a time of love; and togetherness; not as as people as individuals; it's about people as a whole.

    Christmas for most of us can be fantastic, lots of presents, funny times, genuine happiness. But what about those who can't enjoy a Christmas?

    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    3. Do you think the amount of presents yo recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?

    And Lastly;
    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?: I like Christmas because I like to receive gifts and give gifts to others.
    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?: Getting gifts and the Christmas feast.
    3. Do you think the amount of presents yo recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?: No I don't think so.
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?: I can't actually remember.
    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?: Yes. Barbie stationary. My sisters made fun of me when I received it.
     
    Firstly, I hate that song. Probably because I've always had someone I wanted at Christmas, but never got to be with them. -sad face- This year is no different.

    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why? Yes, because I get time at home with my family / video games.
    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas? Just being with my family, I guess.
    3. Do you think the amount of presents yo recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible? No, it's the company you keep.
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents? Wii, my brother's Xbox...
    5. Have you recieve any terrible/weird presents? None that I can think of, but I go get given make-up/ hair accessories by people who don't know me all that well.
    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be? I'm not sure. I'd like it to be something they could use beyond the day that would sustain itself / not cost too much to upkeep.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why? I like the idea of Christmas. The togetherness it is supposed to bring. The family bonding, the general sense of goodwill and giving, but I don't like how it's become commercialized in today's society. It's not the gifts, it's the people you give them to and spend the time with.
    2. What's your favorite aspect of Christmas? As mentioned above, it's about the people you spend the time with.
    3. Do you think the amount of presents you receive, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrible? No. Not at all.
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents? The greatest Christmas present I ever remember getting was probably my 3 foot tall Imperial Walker~ Didn't really do much, but that toy was very dear to me. I took care of that thing right up until the day I had to sell it, and that killed me. /Star Wars nerd, yesyes
    5. Have you receive any terrible/weird presents? The weirdest thing I ever remember getting was a camping set, complete with a compass and flashlight. I never went and still don't camp, really, so kinda seemed a waste. Until I realized how useful most of those tools were >,>
    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be? As Roku-chan said: I don't know exactly. It'd be something that they'll always use. Something meaningful. But, if I could give the child two things, I'd get them something they really want as well as that meaningful gift.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    Yes, obviously! XD
    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    Hmm... I don't know..
    3. Do you think the amount of presents
    you recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    [/COLOR]
    Nope, never. I woud never rate CHristmas on the basis on presents.. o_O;
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    I can't remember. /bad memory
    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    Can't remember either.XD
    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    Maybe some eatables. Christmas cakes would do good. And this is something we do each year.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    I absolutely adore Christmas. It is and always has been my favorite Holiday!
    2. What's your favorite aspect of Christmas?

    It's the whole enchilada! Being with my family, Christmas decorations, basically the whole feeling behind it! :)
    3. Do you think the amount of presents yo receive, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?

    No! In fact, I don't even think about presents around Christmas! It's weird, I know... Probably cause I'm to euphoric all the time! :D
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?

    Sure i have! Can't remember at the moment what exactly it was...
    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?

    No, I don't think I have. Basically, I like whatever is given! :)
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    Yes, we can stay in our house and relax. :D And receive stuff, which is always an awesome thing.

    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    Stay with your family, I guess.

    3. Do you think the amount of presents you receive, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrible?
    No, presents don't matter that much. D: As long as I get at least 3 things.

    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    Oh my goodness, yes. Don't remember it, though... Hm.

    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    Yes, apparently. >.<

    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    It depends... Probably a stuffed animal or something, for them to cuddle with? I don't know, honestly... Maybe some food... *thinks*

    I generally like Christmas because its the time of year where there are no such things as "enemies" or "foes" its the time of year where we can actually make peace with one another for once. You can get the time off work to spend time with your families; and also help those who are unfortunate to be with anyone; and you can invite them for a Christmas dinner or something. <3 So yes, its a great time for bondage really.

    My favorite aspect of Christmas, like I've said, it the bondage. And also; its the time of year where we have to give, rather than receive.

    I don't think its the amount of presents or the money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrible; well at least...I would say that if you would give at least give one gift to someone you would care about; that's what the good ol' Christmas is about. I would say though; gifts aren't that necessary, because its still Chrsitmas even if you don't get anything; what matters is that your with people you love on this day and you get a chance to bond.

    Have I had any good presents? Well, the best present I got was a nintendo GameCube when I was 12 years old. ^^ It came with a game called: Rugrats: Royal Randsom, and Super Mario Sunshine. <3 I got to play with my family; it was so much fun. <3

    Well I don't think any gift I got was weird or terrible...I mean, since someone spent the time to give you something, you really should'nt call it weird or terrible. Its the thought of you that counts.

    I would probably give the less fortunate a dinner really; and some toys for the kids. <3

    I love Christmas because it's the only time of the year where I can properly spend time with my family members, with no troubles, no worries and no arguements.

    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    The time from when I get up on Christmas day till the end of Christmas day. I like most of the stuff we do on christmas like opening the presents and watching the happy smiles on my younger siblings face whilst he sees what he has got from Santa etc.

    3. Do you think the amount of presents yo recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    Neither, I don't base Presents or money or even the amount of money spent around Christmas.
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    Yup, and that was indeed around 16 years ago on my first Christmas ever. My Late Nanny gave me a White Teddy Bear with red and green paws.. I still have that Teddy Bear till this day.

    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    Nope.

    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    I would want to give that family the best Christmas ever, I would probably buy them a huge Turkey Dinner or something. Sounds silly, yes..
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    I'll be honest the only highlight of Christmas is probably the gifts. I hate spending Christmas with my extended family and the actual meal isn't amazing enough to make up for it either.

    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    Once again the gifts. Although I also do like the desserts and decorating the house.

    3. Do you think the amount of presents you recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    No not at all. I'd rather get one good present then ten bad presents. You can get a great gift for a low price. It depends on what you know the person likes and where you go to buy it. Just because something costs hundred dollars doesn't make it a good gift.

    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    The best gift I have ever received was a teddy bear that I got when I was little. It turned out to be my favorite toy and I would take it absolutely everywhere with me. I still have it now except it just sits on my shelf.

    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    The worst present I have ever received was a fake necklace that broke in a day. What made it so bad was that I had got the person a ring that had her real birthstone in it with a nice white sweater and some other random things I can't remember. It was just the fact that I really took my time to get her something nice and I spent a good amount of money on it only to get something that I know she just picked up at a store last day before Christmas sort of thing and wrapped it up.

    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    If they were older children I would give them gift cards to a clothing store. If they were younger children then I get them some type of toy they can always enjoy. Something like a stuffed animal, toy truck, Barbie doll, etc.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    I love Christmas, because it's such a great time of the year and I get to see all of my family.

    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    Being with my family. (And presents are good too xD)

    3. Do you think the amount of presents yo recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    Nope. As long as I am with my family im good.

    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    Yes (:

    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    Not really, besides clothes. (Like socks and undies.)

    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    Probably a stuffed animal or something that they would love to have with them all the time.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    I love seeing my family, and I love getting to buy my parents and cousins gifts and seeing how they light up when they open it. :)

    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    Not sure! There's just so much. Probably food and goofing off with my cousins!

    3. Do you think the amount of presents you recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    Of course not. It's all the thought that counts. :) I'm actually going to be receiving less for Christmas because I have a trip to London we've got to fund, but I don't mind that.

    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    N64, GameCube, PS2, tons of Pokemon cards, tons of video games...I'd say my past Christmases have been good. :)

    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    I got a porcelain doll when I was 2 and I was dancing with it and dropped it and it broke at the neck. :'( I broke the baby's neck! Worst present ever! Have never liked porcelain dolls after that.

    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    I actually used to do that. Me, my dad, and my sister would go buy a bunch of toys at Dollar General and go to the poorer neighborhoods on either December 23rd (my dad's birthday) or Christmas Eve and we would give out toys. :) I wish we did that more now.
     
    Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    It's my favorite holiday. <3 My friends and I got kind of scattered after high school, and Christmas is one of the few times we get to see each other. It's just a wonderful time for being together. c:

    What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    That inexplicable urge to do nothing but celebrate with the people you love. The gifts are quite nice too~

    Do you think the amount of presents you recieve or the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    I'm not gonna lie, it really does to an extent... but I wouldn't say a lack of gifts or money would make it terrible. Like I said, the best part is being with loved ones.

    Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    Biggest Christmas gift I've ever gotten would have to be my Wii. My family's not very well-off, so it was a nice surprise. <3

    Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    Probably the cellphone I got a few years ago. It was my first and it was... not very good. It looked like one of those cheap toy phones that are filled with candy. >> I mean, I was grateful and everything, but IMO a cell phone shouldn't be given as a gift unless you know the specific one to get.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    No I do not, I feel the true spirit of Christmas has been gone for quite some time. It's now just an excuse to spend like crazy. The family aspect could be nice, but my family is beyond repair. I also won't deny that I just get full of envy of people who have a really fun time, whilst I get disappointed.

    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?

    Being given a break from college.

    3. Do you think the amount of presents you receive, or the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrible?

    No. I think Christmas would be nicer if there were no gifts. If I like someone enough to give them a gift, then I'll just buy them one any time of the year.

    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    U2's greatest hits album. That was the album that got me into music. Definitely my favourite gift, as the effect it had has been massive.

    5. Have you received any terrible/weird presents?
    My nan once got me a Bob the Builder video, I was about 12 or 13 at the time I think so I was not really interested in shows aimed at toddlers. I think she may have forgotten how old I was. It's still nice that she took the time to think and get me something though.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    OMG YES I LOVE CHRISTMAS.
    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    THE GIFTS Spending time with my family in general and having a good time.
    3. Do you think the amount of presents you recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    Of course not. I'm very thankful for the things I have already.
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    Not yet. But that's okay.
    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    I do remember receiving a booklight thing that exploded ._.

    And Lastly;
    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    Toys. Food. Clothes. Anything really that they need.

     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    I love Christmas, as I get older, I enjoy it more!:D
    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    I love everything about Christmas, but mostly I love being with my family :)!
    3. Do you think the amount of presents you recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    Nope, being with my family is all that counts :D
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    There all great to me :D
    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    Nope.

    And Lastly;
    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    Food, Clothes the things they need.

     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    Yes. It is the only holiday I've ever experienced where I have seen people with true kindness. From giving to the poor, to letting a father off early from his job so he can go wish his kids a Merry Christmas and watch them open their presents. It's a season for joy and reflection and thanks as well for whatever your religious belief may be or just for the things you've received in general. Overall I think it's the best holiday because you see less hatred and a lot more love between even strangers on the street.
    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas? The seasonal feeling.
    3. Do you think the amount of presents you recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible? No, because one gift can mean a lot more than lots of little ones.
    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents? A hamster xD... <3

    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents? Umm.... Not really :B

    And Lastly;
    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?

    I would invite them into my house for a Christmas dinner and share presents with them... oAo Sometimes just giving someone something doesn't justify a good Christmas. At least I think so. Some people want to be with family, or friends, or just other people.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year for various reasons. It's a time of both giving and sharing, a time to spend with family and friends, and the season is simply refreshing. The music, the decorations, putting up the Christmas Tree, it's all part of the fun and what makes the holiday more enjoyable.

    2. What's your favorite aspect of Christmas?
    Everything. From the decorations, presents, family, friends, to the music, movies, and even the time off from school. XD

    3. Do you think the amount of presents you receive, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrible?
    Definitely not. When it comes to Christmas it's the thought that counts. Even if I were to get nothing, but have the chance to share it with my friends and family, I'd enjoy the day no less.

    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?

    Biggest Christmas was the year I got to spend it with most of my family after they came to visit us for vacation. I was in elementary school then, and I had gotten my GameBoy Advanced SP and my very first Pokémon game, Ruby. I'll never forget that day.

    5. Have you receive any terrible/weird presents?
    When I was a kid I used to hate getting clothes, but now I don't think any gift is really terrible. Haha, I actually enjoy getting new clothes now.

    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    I'd like to make their Christmas memorable. Not just with toys and other gifts, but to enjoy the holiday for what it is. Playing in the snow, seeing the sights, skating, enjoying the music, the movies, and overall having a good time together. I think that's something that will make them very happy. A toy is there for a time, but a memory to have like that is something to cherish for a lifetime.
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why? Yes, I love Christmas! I love what it is really all about, (for Christians, at least. XD) I love getting together with family. I love the food, XD. And yes, I admit, I like getting presents too. >__>

    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas? I really do love the family get-together aspect of it. I don't get to see my extended family all the often, and we all really get along well, so it is nice to see everyone. ^__^

    3. Do you think the amount of presents you receive, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrible? Well, in a weird way, both yes and no. Yes in that, if I have a lot of money to spend on gifts, it means I can have fun shopping without worrying about cost or anything. But no in that, even if I don't, Christmas isn't any worse because of it. If that makes sense. XD But it definitely doesn't depend on the gifts received.

    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents? Oh yes...SNES, GB, PS1, GBASP...good memories. :D

    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents? Not that I can think of...the only thing I could possibly think of is that my neighbor accidentally got me the same thing my mom bought me (a Gameshark for the GBA) and that was more funny than terrible. XD

    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be? I would give them a huge Christmas meal, something that would fill the, up, and also last a long time as leftovers or something. ^__^
     
    1. Do you generally like Christmas? Why?
    Yes because I get heaps of presents and YUMMY pavlova and food <3 Family coming over is stressful as one member is a fugly D*** who I hope dies soon before he kills my mum >:[

    2. What's your favourite aspect of Christmas?
    NANA's PAVLOVA! And allll of my awesome pressies which my mum gives up going over seas for each year. I want to give up a Christmas just so she can have a holiday overseas again.

    3. Do you think the amount of presents yo recieve, the amount of money you spend determines if your Christmas is great or terrrible?
    No. Though I need my fake smile ready when my lottery winner auntie gives me her typical $20 XD

    4. Have you had any overwhelmingly great presents?
    Yeas. Trampoline, consoles, soccor table thingy and ipod etc.

    5. Have you recieve any terrible/wierd presents?
    $20 off a very rich aunt. (My friend got stickers from a reject shop with the price tag [$2] and a wooden box with nothing in it from his lottery winning grandparents, no joke).

    6. If you were to give only one present to a poor child or family for that matter, what would it be?
    ipod Clothes food. I gave that to poor people for Cristmas the other day to a charity.
