As a kid, Christmas. As an adult, Halloween. Just seems like more pure fun. No pressure to find the perfect gift. It's not expensive or terribly commercialized, but you can make dozens and dozens of neighborhood kids happy. And costume parties can be fun for adults.
Besides, I LOVE scaring kids.

Thanksgiving... Each year we have a large extended family reunion at a resort and there is NO gift giving/receiving which means there is no pressure, just good food that someone else cooks!!!

Baby Blessing · 08-21-2006, 09:29 PM

Easter and Christmas are very special to me. Patti

Josie's Mom · 08-22-2006, 09:35 AM

Wow...I really LOVE every Holiday! I try to go all out for everything. I do it so, that hopefully my kids will pass it on to thier kids.

I did vote for Christmas. I love how everyone seems to be in great moods. I love how everybody decorates, Bussiness's, Dept Stores ect. The diffrent scents. I really enjoy gift wrapping. I love cooking and feeding people. I enjoy our annual tree photo with my family....it's great fun!

My favorite used to be Christmas but now it's Thanksgiving. Christmas was the time of year we spent with family (grandparents, uncles, cousins) because they all went "home" for the holidays. That was the one time a year my parents were sure to see their first cousins, many of who lived in other states. But now that my brothers and sisters and I have our own families and we live in different places, Thanksgiving is the one holiday a year that we are all together (my mom, my sisters, brothers, hubby, kids, nieces, nephews). We get the food (which I mostly cook cause we meet at my house), the compaionship, etc. And, because we aren't getting back together at Christmas, we exchange gifts at that time too (so it's kinda both holidays in one!).

Jenn218 · 08-22-2006, 01:51 PM

This one is kind of tough for me, because in my family.....we make a big deal over each holiday! We do fun things and gift baskets, cooking, spend time with family, etc for each holiday (no matter if it is Christmas or St. Patricks Day). We just love all holidays!

My first choice (and the one I voted for) is Christmas. There is just something in the air and we are all just more relaxed and energized and over all happier and nicer. Plus, I love the smells (brings me back to my childhood at my parents house). I am a giver, so I love to give gifts (no matter what occassion and for whom), but I am the top that is a giver, not a receiver! My family is pretty family oriented, so we all still get together for fun in the snow, hot chocolate and just nice family time.

Halloween would be my second because of the crisp clean fall air, the smells of fall and the fun of seeing everyone dressed up and getting candy! Again, we are a "holiday" family and pretty much everyone dresses up and participates in the festivities! I always have a big chili dinner and hayride and haunted trail at my house. Plus, tons of fun for the kids (scavenger hunts, and other fall fun).

Thanks for this poll.......its fun to remember past holidays with my family! Can't wait....Labor is fast approaching, this is our family camping trip and my DH's birthday! Not to mention all the local craft/antique fairs! Can't wait!

Christmas is definitly my favorite holiday and i can't wait for it to come this year because it will be Layla's first! Our family usually goes away somewhere for the holidays and it will be fun to bring Layla on her first plane ride!

angelee · 10-25-2006, 10:36 AM

[F]I love Christmas for many reasons.

Christmas Trees
Smells and sounds
Music
Giving gifts
Food
Christmas movies
People seem much nicer
Spending time with family and friends[/FONT]

JeanieK · 10-25-2006, 10:42 AM

Thanksgiving. Food and family without the stress of buying gifts and the excessive cost.

I like Christmas but I think it has gotten way out of hand. When people are just exchanging gift certificates, it is down right ridiculous. Why not just exchange $50 bills. That way they don't expire or lose value.

My daughter's in-laws pretty much do that. They draw names and each has a list of what they want and other than for the small children, it's mostly exchanging gift certificates.

Does anyone else think that is dumb?

Now that sounds like more fun than shopping.
