  27. I love going to church with my father (a retired Anglican clergyman). He had a brain injury a couple of years ago so his memory is really terrible. But, he sings along in beautiful bass harmony and remembers all the words to the Christmas carols. Love the power of music! (and the excuse to knit for all sorts of friends/family/teachers!)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I make myself a special pair of fingerless mitts every year on Christmas. I'm already trying to decide which pattern to use and I love the whole process. :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love spending time with family and friends, and of course snuggling with my wife as she knits up fantastic items! Scarves and hats for the kids, cowels for her parents, and super warm socks for each member of our family! Nothing beats it!

  41. I've always loved Christmas, but ever since my miracle baby was born 2 1/2 years ago, it's taken on a new meaning for me. New beginnings, new wonder, new surprises, new traditions...and I'm so, so, so lucky to be able to share it with my little girl, husband and family.

  42. Since losing my mum christmas has been a difficult time ... knitting helped me get through the first year and has been my therapy ever since! It brings me joy and with each little stitch, makes me feel a connection to the wonderful woman who taught me to knit. Christmas now is about my own children and I hope to pass on the 'thread' of fibre love! x x x Merry Christmas everyone x x

  43. Christmas in our house starts with some fun. Our family Elf on the shelf arrives the day after Thanksgiving and starts having his own fun. We've found him drinking hot chocolate to catching a ride on the back of an angel. Soon after our tree gets decorated, my son (7) loves pulling out the ornaments and tells a story about each one. These are just a few things I love about Christmas, creating special memories with our loved ones.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Having an excuse to knit scarves to give away, the smell of fresh-cut a Christmas tree, listening to my childhoood-favorite Christmas music, reuniting with family and friends.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I like singing carols and going to church, shouting, "Christ is born!" "Glorify him!" and eating salami. I want this yarn!

  49. I love sharing relaxing time with my family, watching movies together and cooking all together.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I do like this season for the lightening of candles or the twinkling electric cord of lights and most definitely for home made hot chocolate. And for the smell of fire in the air when going outside for a late afternoon stroll. Of course while wearing several layers of woollies!

    Ciao, Fleur (Fleurtje-Eliza on Ravelry)

  51. Since our only child moved to the Yukon, Christmas isn`t quite the same, but I knit to keep her and her partner warm. And nothing like knitting something for someone to keep them in your mind. I have a lovely mental visit while I knit.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Family ~ That's what I love about Christmas. The gatherings, the food, the laughter, the reconnecting with far flung relatives. All the memories being made and reminiscing of past memories. That's Christmas! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  53. 26 of December, just us as a family spending time together, no stress just time together.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love all the free time I have to knit!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Couldn't hold out any longer, I love those beautiful natural shades. Also wondering if you ever got around to making i-cord to knit with?

    PS: I goofed and commented on last month's post and deleted it. Sorry about that. What I love about Christmas is that the weight I've gained since Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving makes me feel like I might as well go all out at Christmas too!

    1. Now its january & time to start being more careful about what we eat.....knitting & eating its the worst thing we can do at the same time because we are motionless ! I'm now into having an ice cold bottle of water next to me and lots of fruit inplace of chocolates and gallons of tea. Lost 5 lb's since last 2 weeks.
      The I-cord i found it too large to knit with but i might try it again on some lace weight yarns.
      All the best to you and your mum !
