  I love giving gifts!

  I love to tear open the packages

• 4. Mary  |  December 5, 2010 at 11:35 am

  I love to see the look on their faces when they tear open the present and it is what they asked Santa for.

• 5. Julie  |  December 5, 2010 at 2:45 pm

  I love the look on the kids faces when they see what Santa has left for them!

  To give gifts to those I don’t even know and to see the look on their faces-it’s priceless and more than I could ever ask for-that’s the true joy of Christmas-to give without the thought of receiving.

  I love watching my kids’ faces when they see the tree for the first time with the Santa presents under it.

  I love buying gifts for others. It brings me great joy to see the surprise on their faces when they open a gift from me that they really love. It really is about giving to others.

  I love the anticipation of seeing the gifts under the tree with their pretty wrapping paper and bows. But more than that, I love it when we pull the envelopes out of the tree branches telling what charity was donated to in each other’s names. (A tradition we started a few years back for the adults in our family.)

  I love wrapping presents. The pretty papers!!!

• 11. robin  |  December 5, 2010 at 6:03 pm

  it reminds me of when i was a child and was opening up gifts on christmas… the look on my kids face is priceless

• 12. Suzi D.  |  December 5, 2010 at 7:36 pm

  I love shopping for Christmas presents; giving good gifts is so fun! I also really love wrapping them up to look pretty.

• 13. ericka  |  December 5, 2010 at 8:53 pm

  I get so excited to see my kids open their gifts that I can’t sleep on Christmas Eve! I never have been able to fall asleep on Christmas eve, so I guess that is my tradition!

• 14. Sarah  |  December 5, 2010 at 8:57 pm

  I love how the kids get so excited about what’s under the tree!

• 15. Amber Walter  |  December 5, 2010 at 10:06 pm

  The greatest part about Christmas presents is everyone around you taking part in opening the gifts and enjoying each other.

• 16. Tami T.  |  December 5, 2010 at 10:16 pm

  My favoirte thing about Christmas presents is the wait. I love the build up of suspense as the gifts sit day after day under the tree. Then the excitement of FINALLY being able to open them!

• 17. Alex Lovrien  |  December 5, 2010 at 10:20 pm

  I LOVE the warm fuzzies I get from watching everyone opening their gifts from me!!

• 18. Jessica B  |  December 5, 2010 at 11:03 pm

  I love finding the perfect present during the year, saving it for Christmas and FINALLY being able to see the person open it!

• 19. Kristen G  |  December 6, 2010 at 12:04 am

  I love finding something that I know someone will love; even if it doesn’t cost much.

• 20. Kindra  |  December 6, 2010 at 4:18 am

  What a great giveaway! I love the process of gift giving. Finding/Making a present at a “cheap” price. Wrapping it in fun paper and then seeing the expression of the receiver! So fun!

• 21. Liz  |  December 6, 2010 at 9:49 am

  Giving is my favorite thing about Christmas presents.

• 22. Hayley  |  December 6, 2010 at 9:58 am

  I love the feeling of appreciation I get when gift is opened. It doesn’t matter how much it actually costs, it is the thought that goes into the present that counts! Priceless =)

• 23. Felicia  |  December 6, 2010 at 9:59 am

  I love to watch the kids go room to room looking for clues to their presents! We do a scavenger hunt in our house for each present! The excitement once they get to the final clue and find their present is AWESOME!! Kinda how I would feel getting this GC!!! HA!

• 24. Anna  |  December 6, 2010 at 11:12 am

  I love that God’s blessings can flow thru me when I give gifts, its a great reminder of all *I* am blessed with!

• 25. Amanda B  |  December 6, 2010 at 12:47 pm

  When you find that extra special gift at an extra special price!

• 26. Caroline S  |  December 6, 2010 at 12:55 pm

  I love watching the faces of my beautiful children, and their eyes lighting up! I love the traditions, the food, and the games! I love it all!

• 27. Suzi D.  |  December 6, 2010 at 1:17 pm

  I love being surprised by my Christmas presents – having no idea what’s in that pretty box until it finally comes out on Christmas morning!

• 28. Kristen G  |  December 6, 2010 at 1:40 pm

  Throwing the paper around afterward in a paper-ball/snowball fight!

• 29. Cathy  |  December 6, 2010 at 2:16 pm

  I love seeing the excitement on the childrens’ faces when they open that gift that they thought they knew what it was and it is something completly different.

• 30. Kim  |  December 6, 2010 at 2:53 pm

  I love the perfect unexpected gift, that you didn’t know how much you wanted.

• 31. Deb  |  December 6, 2010 at 4:19 pm

  I love filling up the tree with lots of great gifts for cheap.

• 32. ericka  |  December 6, 2010 at 4:32 pm

  I love seeing what everyone else has received as much as I love seeing what I have gotten. My parents still buy presents as if we were little kids!

• 33. Karie  |  December 6, 2010 at 4:32 pm

  I love the thrill of the hunt! It’s so much fun shopping for others!

• 34. lori  |  December 6, 2010 at 4:32 pm

  I love the memories that come flooding back to me as I place gifts under the tree…memories of being with my sister and guessing what each box contained. Memories of the boxes arriving in the mail from Grandma and how they even smelled of her house. Memories of the lights dancing on the foil wrapping paper that my mom reserved for gifts she purchased for my dad. And the list goes on. I don’t remember all the gifts that were given over the years, but these memories are engavend in my mind and I love watching my own children as they repeat the process and build thier own memories.

• 35. robin  |  December 6, 2010 at 11:24 pm

  i love the idea that i can give to someone else that is less fortunate then i am … makes everything all worth while

• 36. Anna  |  December 7, 2010 at 9:33 am

  I love BUYING gifts! So fun to pick out things for people I love

• 37. Anna  |  December 7, 2010 at 9:33 am

  I love the anticipation of waiting for people to open the gifts I got

• 38. Anna  |  December 7, 2010 at 9:36 am

  I love picking out wrapping paper for my kiddos presents. Last year we wrapped the 4 girls’ gifts each in different wrapping paper so they could easily see which gifts were theirs and then we wrapped the boy’s gifts in Thomas wrapping paper. I think he liked the wrapping paper as much as the gifts!

• 39. Anna  |  December 7, 2010 at 9:37 am

  Shopping for Christmas presents is fun! It will be interesting this year since we are on a very VERY tight budget and didnt really buy anything ahead of time. We spent a LOT of money last year (close to $700 for EVERYTHING), this year our budget is allowing $400 for EVERYTHING, so I’ll be a fun challenge to stay within that budget =)

• 40. Amy  |  December 8, 2010 at 12:15 am

  I love to try and surprise loved ones with gifts. If they are truly surprised, I am so happy!

• 41. ericka  |  December 8, 2010 at 9:32 am

  I love seeing the looks of joy on my kids’ faces as they tear open their gifts!

• 42. Cassidy  |  December 8, 2010 at 10:08 am

  My favorite thing about Christmas presents is when I find the perfect present for a loved one and they are truly surprised by it because it is something they hadn’t asked for!

• 43. Anna  |  December 8, 2010 at 3:38 pm

  I love MAKING christmas gifts for people. I usually make handmade Christmas themed thank yous for family and friends and pair it with an ornament. These are always SO well received!

• 44. Suzi D.  |  December 8, 2010 at 5:17 pm

  I love putting a little extra thought into wrapping presents and making them as pretty as I can, even though they’ll just get torn open in a few days.

• 45. ericka  |  December 8, 2010 at 7:52 pm

  I love ripping into the wrapping paper!

• 46. Mary  |  December 8, 2010 at 9:06 pm

  I love giving presents to those who can’t afford it and the look on their faces is priceless.

• 47. Dawn Zimmerman  |  December 9, 2010 at 6:27 am

  I also enjoy shopping for people. The holiday music playing in the stores helps set the mood. The anticipation of finding (hopefully) just the right gift for someone is priceless.

• 48. Qpon Saving Mommas  |  December 9, 2010 at 7:26 am

  On Christmas Eve Night i sit in my basement listening to Christmas music and wrapping presents. I enjoy wrapping presents. So many colors and designs to choose from. I usually match my paper to fit the person.

• 49. Suzi D.  |  December 9, 2010 at 8:58 am

  I love (and hate) the suspense of waiting for almost a month to find out what I’m getting. My husband keeps telling me how much I’m going to love my present, but I have no idea what it is!

• 50. ericka  |  December 9, 2010 at 9:20 am

  I love the anticipation!

• 51. Sarah  |  December 9, 2010 at 3:45 pm

  We always open on christmas eve and stockings christmas morning

• 52. Sarah  |  December 9, 2010 at 3:46 pm

  I enjoy pulling out all the presents i’ve stashed away during the year to wrap up for the kids. i forget what i’ve bought.

• 53. Anna  |  December 9, 2010 at 4:54 pm

  I enjoy getting creative w/ the wrapping of the gift, whether it is to do something to trick the receiver or making pretty wrapping paper!

• 54. Anna  |  December 10, 2010 at 7:37 pm

  I love picking out a gift that will not only be well received but that the receiver will be happy to get. I try to give gifts that wont cause clutter and wont leave the person thinking ‘what am I going to do with THIS??’ =)

• 55. robin  |  December 10, 2010 at 11:18 pm

  the happiness on others faces when u r able to give to those in need

• 56. Nichole  |  December 11, 2010 at 12:05 am

  I like giving to others that don’t have much and request your basic neccessities, those are the people who really appreciate the gift!
