Hey Pandas, Share Your Favorite Part Of The Holiday Season (Closed)

Sweaters! And the smell of wood smoke on the air on a frosty morning.

Getting out the Christmas ornaments that have been in my family for more than 30 years. They bring so many precious memories of being a small kid, all the magic of Christmas through my 5 y.o.’s eyes every time I look at each of them. The human brain is a very interesting thing, it can transport you back in time via smell, touch, an item from your past. I look at these decorations and I am again 5 y.o. at my parent’s home with my kid’s perceptions.

Sneaking downstairs to eat a cookie meant for Santa. I know he’s not real and can’t watch me like a hawk, and nobody counts the cookies.

My favorite thing for the holiday is a bit petty, but I very much enjoy everyone running around frantic looking for toys/gifts that no one is going to care about a week later. It’s just funny to me when people are snapping at each other in a retail store because god forbid someone doesn’t get that toy or cheap clothing item or electronic.

Celebrating Santa's birthday.
