If Christmas is your one and only obsession, celebrate in the Philippines.

We get all nostalgic
Staying up late because I wish it snows/the Christmas lights are too pretty to stop looking at
Craft--making
Giving
We donate half our money to schools, poor children, etc.
Christmas has changed so much from when I was a child. I enjoyed Christmas then, then I do now. All of my cousins are grown up and have their own families. My sister lives with her boyfriend so she goes to his family's house for Christmas then to our parents house, which really pisses me off. My sister is 24 and still rebels, meaning friends and boyfriends come first. I only have one living Grand parent now. My Nana who always put on the best Christmas dinners and had my relatives from my mom's side over and we would play this Christmas gift game, I forget what it's called, but I remember it being a lot of fun. So basically what I like to do on Christmas is spend the day with my family and bake christmas goodies. I hope when I have children of my own it will get better again.
