Many people like Christmas the most, for thos ewho do celebrate it, btu New Year's Eve has always been my favorite. As I get older, though, it just seems more like any other day. A few years ago when I was younger and single, it was a great party night where anything could happen, but now I think I am getting older and finally ready to settle down. I try to appreciate everyday the best I can and count it as a blessing. If you have any favorites, which holidays are your favorites?

I love Christmases and New Years. it's not because of the gifts but because of the time you spend with people you love and it becomes more special because of the giving. It's a selfless celebration. Just like how selfless God is for giving Christ to us.

I agree. The time I spend with people I love means much more than any presents ever could! And it doesn't even have to be a holiday. :)

I see that a lot of people like Christmas. I know is a good time of the year and you are gather with the family and have fun and all those things but to me the best holiday for me is New Years Eve because is the beginning of a new year and is also a time where I could party til real late at night, eat good food and drink as much as possible. I really enjoy that day and I hope this upcoming year ends up being better than this one that just passed.

There is no question as to what my favorite holiday is. Christmas wins hands-down. I love to decorate and get ready for the big day. We celebrate right up until New Years Day.

My favorite holidays are Christmas. I like christmas with all it's presents and christmas trees. It's just so nice and warm , even if it's cold outside, it feels warm inside. When the family comes together for the christmas meal, and the exchanging of the presents.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. It reunites me with my family, my brothers and sisters. If I had the money I would like to take the opportunity to visit Austria or Switzerland for during this holiday. I would like to visit a place where there is white snow to see. I have never seen real now in my life. © ronaldinu 2008

Halloween definitely. Not because of candy or anything, but because its basically comprised of "my thing". I love horror, the darker aspects of life, the spookier bits of traditions...I love taking the opportunity toward expression. And like alot of neat people around my neck of the woods are fond of saying: It's the one day of the year that I can be me without people regarding me strangely! Christmas and Thanksgiving occupy the second favorite holiday spot together, lol. Mostly for nostalgic and family reasons.

I like Thanksgiving the best. My whole family gets together but there is not the commercialized gift giving like at Christmas. The only bad thing about Thanksgiving is that I always eat too much.

I like Halloween. It is imaginative and creative time for kids. Saw a costume recently. A kid was static cling. It was a sweat suit set. Safety pinned to it was socks, gloves, fabric sheets. It was homemade, cheap and wonderful. I also like the spirit of Christmas. I t gives one a sense of hope. Nothing better than that.

Probably Christmas because we get together with some of the family at Christmas. We've all moved kind of far apart, but that's one time that at least some of us manage to get together for a while!

Yeah I think Christmas is nice for religious people and for families to get together and celebrate and spend time, but it's so silly about all the gifts, and I am too broke also, so I can def relate! Have fun Friday on Halloween!!

Perhaps my favorite holiday is the Chinese New Year. As we can have a longer vacation and everything seems slow down. And people are happy everyday. And there are good dishes all the time. Besides, we will visit each other and that's a happy moment. I love China

My favorite is Halloween and Christmas. I love giving gifts for Christmas and I'm one of those rare people that love shopping for gifts. New Years ever is a fun holiday also. I also like Valentines day and Easter. I believe I like these holidays now more because of my son looks forward to them every year now. He's already excited about Christmas and Halloween. The holiday's mean so much to kid's and I remember when I was young the holidays were the highlight of my year. Such a exciting time! But Halloween and Christmas is my favorite.

Christmas holiday is always my favorite season of the year. I don't know but whenever Christmas seasons are coming, I feel happy and delighted to feel the Christmas spirit over the houses, malls, parks, etc. that really make me want to anticipate it. Also, It's the time when my family got a small reunion and held a small parties, I get the chance to see my relatives who I didn't see for a long time. Christmas creating a special feelings for me, whenever it comes up, I can help but feel excited and happy about it.

Well obviously Christmas is by far the best holiday, it's just the presents, dinner, decorations and the general feeling of family togetherness!!! :) CHRISTMAS ROCKS...
