However now I've got grandchildren and a good job, I am trying hard to make it special again. I used to love Christmas when I was young with the presents round the tree and the excitement of what was in them. I was always the 'postman' and my children and grandchildren have carried on the tradition. I think tradition is the best thing about Christmas - that and giving. xlizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499504627638426246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240263410619195419.post-84221465304372278552012-08-17T12:29:10.501+01:002012-08-17T12:29:10.501+01:00Christmas for me means spending time with my famil...Christmas for me means spending time with my family and friends and watching the joy and happiness on my 4 and 2 year old faces when they open their presents. and then watching them play with the packaging as it is more fun Deenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544206757421146385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240263410619195419.post-68598321881247209492012-08-12T19:48:23.536+01:002012-08-12T19:48:23.536+01:00I'm loving the new stamps and super card too. ...I'm loving the new stamps and super card too. it is fab seeing old pics and seeing weight loss. well done you too.<br />Christmas to me is family. having been blessed with 4 beautiful amazing children changed Christmas for me, as well as my whole life. the excitement leading up to it, they're faces on Xmas day, grandma and grandad enjoying it too all being together playing with new toys after and also listening to what they've learnt about Xmas at school. keeping up traditions from when I was growing up, being able to keep the magic going whilst they're still young, it really is family for me. my fabulous partner cooks a great dinner too. lol.Dawn Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09441970856894775059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240263410619195419.post-53491467488325514432012-08-11T13:57:32.498+01:002012-08-11T13:57:32.498+01:00Christmas brings to mind Mum preparing Swedish Glö...Christmas brings to mind Mum preparing Swedish Glögg & the smell it created through the house but primarily it's a time for remembering God's gift & the trust in Him that I somehow have & am thankful for.<br />Love that arch with the tree particularly & the mix of slightly unusual yet traditional images.<br />Paula (PEP)Paula (PEP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17869890939386052501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240263410619195419.post-12352823165208649012012-08-11T00:30:28.172+01:002012-08-11T00:30:28.172+01:00Christmas means being with family and feeling the ...Christmas means being with family and feeling the excitement of the children (big and small).

But it's really always been about family get togethers.<br />Even though many of my aunts and uncles have passed away, I'm still priviledged enough to have both of my parents and I treasure the quality time christmas gives us. It's about good food and wine, good company, conversation and playing games like mahjong, dominoes and cards.<br /><br />JanCdteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242475917421569184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240263410619195419.post-10836209716418198032012-08-08T16:31:26.263+01:002012-08-08T16:31:26.263+01:00These stamps are FAB - definitely my next purchase...These stamps are FAB - definitely my next purchase from CB.<br /><br />Christmas is firstly all about family & dear friends; it's doing those traditional things like choosing the tree, then decorating it & sitting back to enjoy once it's done!! It's going to a carol concert & singing your heart out & catching the atmosphere & spirit of what it's all really about - magic!<br /><br />It's also about being a total mad rush finishing my cards, especially those "special" ones that take a bit more effort. I have been known to be finishing some family ones in the wee small hours of Christmas morning, to be delivered later that day!!!<br /><br />But am I the only one???<br /><br />ttfn, Liz M xLizMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245223943514192963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240263410619195419.post-79053746849467852752012-08-08T16:19:13.563+01:002012-08-08T16:19:13.563+01:00The new Christmas stamps are gorgeous Glenda
