What is the one thing you look forward to on the holidays? and not just christmas I mean the holiday season.


I look forward to the growing excitment each year as my boys get old enough to really enjoy and understand the holidays. Now that they are old enough to start making crafts with me and daycare I get to decorate my house with their art.

    I guess just seeing people I don't normally see.

    Otherwise I get nothing but stressed out, freezing cold and an empty bank account. Not really much to look forward to there.

    I look forward to my little family Christmas.  We all talk about the things we're thankful for and cry.  It's very mooshy family together-y, and I love it.

    Milk chocolate and orange flavor together in 20 smooth, delicious, pieces of chocolate shaped into an orange that I have to whack before I eat.

    I love the overall feeling. There's just something about the cold air, houses decorated with lights, fires (bonfires, fireplaces). Just the whole atmosphere of winter.

    It is true that pit bulls grab and hold on. But what they most
    often grab and refuse to let go of is your heart

    Vacations.

    We always go on a vacation for the Christmas holiday (partly because we don't want to spend time with family...) This year, it's San Francisco!

    Other than that....probably baking. I bake up a storm this time of the year and I LOVE it.

    This will be surprising, but chocolate oranges.  Ha.  You've never had one?  They make them in all sorts of flavors and such now, but the original milk chocolate orange is really the only edible one.  Plus, I have yet to find a year round flavored chocolate that is milk chocolate and orange.  All of them are dark chocolate (which is too bitter to pair with the orange flavor, IMO), and have STUFF in them (like nuts).  Or it's milk chocolate with orange ooze in them.  blech blech blech!

    My birthday is in June.  I would gladly pay $6 plus shipping to have one on my birthday.  That would make my entire year.  I'm not kidding.

    Oh my god.  Why does the midwest hate me?!

    I think the raspberry ones suck.  But that's just because i'm not a big fan of chocolate and raspberry together.

    Also, you can buy them online.

    Well, I thought about finding them online if I didn't find any here in town.  I will have to do that at other times as well.  Or just fo rmy birthday.  I don't want them to lose their special.

    Sorry for the threadjack, mizery.

    This sounds like something I need to seek out and eat slowly.  It'd be like an advent calendar of orange slices.  Where does the whacking come in?

    Oh I just got one of those for my bro as part of his present....ok I lied I got two one for me to demolish too.

    I love the snow...Columbus isn't quite as pretty as Wisconsin since we got a ton of white stuff up there (thank you lake effect snow)

    I love wrapping the presents and piling them under the tree and hanging out with family be it my fi and with the dogs or back in Wisconsin with all the relatives - just nice

    It comes looking like a whole peeled orange.  You have to whack it on a table to get the wedges to detach individually.
