For me, the best part of Xmas is getting all those presents out of the house and having all my storage space back. So I can start shopping for next year's gifts. sigh

Watching Death masquerade as the Hogfather and take out 9/10 of the population on post-Mayan Apocalypse Day!

Presents.

Does the idea of "Giving gifts to people I know didn't buy me anything so I can see them nervously him and haw about how 'Oh, well, I got you this... Thing. Off of... Woot, or something... and yeah, darn US Postal Service." Because really, that's what I do it for. It's not Christmas, it's "Merry De Sade Day."

EATING!!!!!!!

Going to church...the quiet...meditating while loking on the nativity scene. As they say in Home Alone "You're always welcome at church".

I answered presents because eating/the food was not a choice

All that food. Copious amounts of it.

I call BS on 3rd option being the leader!!!

When it's over!

I can't be the only one thinking "time off from work". I can't.

I just want it to end.

The poll results are refreshing. Merry Xmas.

The after Christmas sales.

The poll specifically asked us to be honest. I don't think some of you are.....

As a non-christian (and non-jew, non-muslim, non-any-old-musty-book worshiper), my favorite part of Christmas is that it's only a few days away to when, about January 8th or 9th, that I notice the days are getting longer again. I can think about starting my tomato and pepper plants and know that the darkness is passing.

You are not the only one that treasures that sweet, sweet day off work.

Christmas lights

We're really in need of an "other" option on this one. Time off from work, Christmas lights, food - the list goes on. Staying up late enjoying the Christmas lights and holiday snacks and then sleeping in the next morning because I have the day off...that's my Christmas present!

Really Woot!, Your asking the best part of Christmas without even including Christ as an option? What kind of heathen are you?

paid time off from work...and shopping after Christmas clearance sales

Being with those I love, being thankful for what I have (including a great job), and praising the Blessed Father for it all.

I'm going to go with the food

Gee, and here I was thinking that Christ would be an option.

food and presents.

December 26th.

I second that! And I'll probably do most of my Christmas shopping here at Woot throughout the year again, which means I'll start losing storage space again come January.

Seconded.

Also, I've always been fond of the copious giving (both to friends and family) - although I rarely can afford to give anything of proper value.

I always used to like the Bunch of Cheer that came on Christmas. Ahh, those were the days...

Bunch of Cheer#39;s.

well, at least it used to be.
