This is my favorite season and holiday. I love the camaraderie and happy feelings most people share during this time, as well as the beautiful decorations. I also love the gathering of my family at my parent's house; the laughter and the love spread among us. All the everyday worries and problems seem less too. Hugs and Merry Christmas!

My favourite thing is USUALLY that I get to go home and see everyone I haven't seen all term, but this year I went and got myself employed (0/10 do not recommend) so I'm at home for about 36 hours over Christmas Day this year sobs

Gifted all! Thanks for sharing, everyone. <3

That's true! The holidays are the one time I can actually see most of my extended family and friends in one place. Your HA is pretty awesome, by the way. c:

Beautifully said. This time of year kind of forces people like me to accept that people aren't altogether that bad; there is love, and there is compassion. And thank you very much! <3

Gah, I'm sorry to hear that! D: At least you can rest assured in the fact that you're moving up in the world, anyway. :P I hope you have a lovely Lumi + real life holiday, regardless.

Hmmmm I think what I love most about Luminaire is the atmosphere. :D As cheesy as it sounds, I love going into shops that have been decorated and walking down the street and seeing other people's houses decorated. I feel like there's a lot more hope and love that goes around during this time. And of course, spending it with family! :) Although my family's all overseas... But I get to hang out with my boyfriend's family and they'll all lovely people ^_^

Happy Luminaire to you! This is really nice of you to host :)

That's so true! I love being in New York City (the only big city close to me, heh) at this time of year because everything seems so cheerful and lively and holiday-y. I like the lights and the garlands and the general sense of cheer. c:

Hope you have a lovely Lumi with your boyfriend's family! And thank you very much. <33

well my fav thing about Christmas is food too! XD I love to eat fish and Xmas salad, so yummy <3 And I can see again my whole family, well, I miss them so much. And I love to spent money on this time, giving gifts to other people. I love to see them happy :D

AND THE X-MAS TREE <3

My favorite thing about Lumi is all the neat people in the SB. (and every one else also!)

my favorite part about christmas/ the holidays are all the decorations~ everything's so pretty! :)

and of course, the candy canes. I can never get enough candy canes :P

best thing about this holiday: gift bombing someone some love. it surprises them, makes them smile (hopefully!) and is good fun for both sides (+snowballing each other is kind of fun too)

Thanks for sharing, all! Gifted everyone. c:

Oh wow, I've never heard of holiday salad before! :O I want to try that. Sounds delicious, hehe. Your HA is gorgeous! You look like an off-duty movie star. c;

Omg, gift wars are the best! :D And snowballs, too! I want to start a snowball war on here with someone, but a lot of people detest snowballs, and I don't want to ruin anyone's carefully-made HA, so I don't throw any snowballs unless someone throws them at me first. :P

my mom always doing salad for X-mas, so it's our X-mas food XD So much vegetables and mayonaise @ And a soup from dried fruits!~ Haha thank you! XD Actually I wanted to change this to something Christmas-related, but I love this HA too much >O> Oh.

Omg, healthy holiday food is surprisingly awesome. :O My family, on the other hand, doesn't share that view. ;)

Come on, lovely Subetans, let me love youuuuu ❤ (via gifts hehe)

My favorite thing about Luminaire is Melody every day. :3 Guaranteed new items on site (and free at that!)... and I love seeing what the staff comes up with in terms of new items each year. ^^

My favorite thing about RL holidays is the music all over the radio/when out shopping/etc. And making gifts.

My favorite thing about the holiday is snow and spending time with family, and the food, what am I saying I love everything about it! Wishlist http://subeta.net/wishlists.php?cat=0

This is so kind of you! ^^ My wishlist is here

My favourite things about lumi is the nice, happy feeling you get on the day. I always like finding gifts for people... and the food! xD I also enjoy getting free items on the advent calendar here too! It always makes you feel good! :D

Gifted all! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤

I've never been on Subeta around Lumi before, but I agree -- I'm really pleased with Melody's gifts this year! I love, love the fact that we get high-quality, holiday-themed wearables almost every day this month (for freeeee) along with cute items/books/plushies. It's one of the happier parts of my winter Subeta-day. c:

That's true, haha! :D What's there not to love about the holidays? I suppose one could argue spending large amounts of money actually, nope, spending money on presents is fun, too. xD Thanks for sharing!

No problem! I totally agree with you on the finding gifts part -- at least, regarding online gifting! I wish people in real life had easy-to-find wishlists, too, so I wouldn't have to stress over finding presents. :P

Yeah, I still try and give things to my inactive friends online! But I completely agree with you with finding gifts in real life. I even find it hard to find the right gift to my own parents! xD

My favorite part is a pair of traditions I have for xmas My dad and I go drive around the city and look at all of the lights. It's just a nice little thing (that I'm going to go do tonight!) And xmas morning we have cinnamon rolls as we open presents. Just little dumb things but they're still the reason I like the holidays. my WL is here!

I dig the food for any holiday because come on... IT'S FOOD. Food is good. Good for your heart, even if you shart. Oh. For Luminaire though, I like decorating everyone's HAs with snowballs. Yes. Cute snowballs. The one thing I miss about holidays is actually spending time with someone. I hardly do any celebrating around this time of the year anymore because my family is busy and my friends are usually out with their families, so I'm pretty much spending my time alone again this year. v_v Wishlist of the SAKE

Those little things are the things that really make the holidays... the holidays. I love driving around to look at the lights with my family

Yay, another food lover! And shart lover (wait, scratch that last part) I want to throw snowballs at everyone, but I'm scared of crossing paths with those angry fashionista types. x.X;;

I'm sorry that about your holidays! When I feel like that, volunteering (at hospitals, and soup kitchens, too) always makes me feel better. I hope your holidays turn out better than expected! ❤
