The best part about the holidays for me is spending time with my family. The second is giving/receiving presents. Third is the food.

My biggest complaint is the crowds at the stores and the inevitable mad-dash last-minute shoppers. Christmas comes at the same time every year. Why can't people seem to plan ahead better?

I also dislike how retail tends to skip over other holidays to get to Christmas faster and faster every year. It used to be right after Thanksgiving. Now the advertising seems to pop up before Halloween. I realise that retail makes most of its money during 4th QTR (i.e. Oct./Nov./Dec.), but come on. Let me enjoy the others for a moment before bombarding me with Santa-this and Elf-that.

I also have issues with the political correctness of "Happy Holidays", but since it would inevitably wander into religious discussion, I will keep it to myself. And I suggest that others do the same. I don't want to lock up another holiday thread.

You use hats to wrap your presents? Impressive. I usually go with wrapping paper or gift bags.

Merry Christmas!
