Music was a big part of my family with gatherings, picnics, barbecues.
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
I like indoor Christmas trees. And I like people who decorate their homes with lights and all that crap. I think it's a healthy outlet for them. If they weren't covering their lawns with twinkling lights, they'd be doing something that was really, really creepy.
I love Christmas. I never used to. I didn't hate it, but I could take it or leave it. But, as I got to the age of 25 or 26, Christmas became quite a big deal, and I love it now. I love the food, and I love sharing time with people.
Every Christmas Eve, the elves will come and give us a new pair of pajamas.
The holidays are my favorite time of year! Christmas was always one of the biggest celebrations in Sweden, and I look forward to the festivities each year.
My favourite time of year is two weeks before Christmas when everybody's up for it - you're having lunches with people, drinking Cosmopolitans, and getting ready for something exciting!
No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!
Christmas in the Ramsay house is always a noisy chaotic time, but I love it!
I love London in the rare parts of the year when it's quiet, and no time is more reliably quiet than the week between Christmas and New Year.
There's nothing like Christmas in New York.
When great questions end, little parties begin.
and the whole forest would give itself up to jollification for weeks on end.
And we meet, with champagne and a chicken, at last.
I loved New Jersey. I thought it was the greatest place in the world because on Halloween kids could start trick or treating right after school. Isn't that great?
It's really easy to figure out why I love what I love, the holidays and food. I know the difference between having them and not having them.
Tinsel in February, tinsel in August. There are things in a man besides his reason.
I never realized before this the emotional power of some really simple, corny tropes: people with top hats, people with batons, confetti going off, how important it is to smile.
The most intense curiosity and excitement prevailed, and though the weather was uncertain, enormous masses of densely packed people lined the road, shouting and waving hats and handkerchiefs as we flew by them.
I look forward to the holiday season every year.
The holly green, the ivy green The prettiest picture you've ever seen Is Christmas in Killarney With all of the folks at home.
Tinsel on our Christmas trees is a Hart family staple started by my grandmother, Helen Hart.
You can separate the church and state all you like, but Christmas is inescapable, and it's marvellous, and it's not going away.
My family celebrates both the navratras that come twice in a year. We also refrain from eating meat. I just enjoy that people come home, savour the variety of snacks and participate in our puja during this time.
I loved the first Christmas I had in England.
