Christmas Favorites

Hello, folks. I thought we could all list what our favorite things are about Christmas. Could be the music, or opening presents, or giving them. List as many of your favorite things as you want. Do so in words or thru pics or however else you wish. Even share some memories if you like.

If things go to plan, I'll use your suggestions for a short and quick Monday to Friday Christmas battle next week. And for anyone unaware of what a battle is, it's basically just a little tournament where I gather our favorites and put them against each other in match-ups. And we find out what our consensus Christmas favorite is!

And with that said, enjoy and have fun ...

Welcome ye all on my first post

Now the Franchise Fury battle series are over - and they were popular - let's go straight for a new one. No not movies or tv-series, something entirely different...and more biased...

In many of these quizzes you'll get questions about favorite place to spend time or activity to do. Got me thinking what if we do a "competition" about best way pass time?

I know: different for everybody. And somethings not done by all. But so it was with the movies too. I haven't watched them all, but either heard about it read a review, or just quickly looked something up. And formed an opinion & went with the choice that seemed most appealing to my fancy.

Same thing with these. Many we all enjoy or would enjoy. Let's compare them!
