I like the fact that it has lasted so long. It's a very enduring story.
I respect the fact that it has a more profound meaning for religious people.
I like the fact that it is shared by so many millions of people around the world on that one day. That's unique and very special.
I like that it's essentially a mid-winter celebration for those of us in the northern hemisphere. How long winter would seem without it!
I like the focus on children and people in need.
I like the emphasis on family and sharing.
I like the twinkly lights
I like the theatre of it.
I like this poem by Edwin Morgan:
