What's your favorite holiday that you are looking forward: Christmas or New Year

My favorite holiday is the summer vacation, because it's the longest holiday, and it's convenient to travel as well as many outside activities. Christmas and New year are for family reunion, but my family is not always happy, so I prefer to be with my partner in those days.

I've always been especially fond of Christmas for a lot of reasons. We always spend Christmas with my extended family whom I don't get to see really often, so that is the main reason that I prefer Christmas over New Year's Day. The other reason that I really like Christmas is that I get to see the joy in the faces of the people I love when they open their gifts. Additionally, I think Christmas is the superior holiday because it is a holiday that is about the entire family while I've always seen New Year's to be more about adults.

Christmas or New Year, both are nothing exciting for me really. Although I treat these as important, I don't really look forward or get excited when they're almost here. Until recently. I think because every year, even if I'm not at home, I am always with some family or friends that I take it for granted. It's just like another day spent with people close to me. Last year however, I was alone. Yes, I spent Christmas and New Year alone in my tiny studio apartment, with only a book to accompany me. It was the worst Christmas and New Year of my life. I just arrived here for about 2 weeks and I couldn't afford to go back home, so I spent the holidays alone. It was very bad. I didn't have computer at home yet, no tv, no radio, nothing. I didn't want to go to my colleague's house as well because they were with their families and I didn't want to intervene. After that time, I have totally changed the way I think and realized that holidays such as these are indeed really special.. That was long.. Sorry! So anyway, to answer your question, I think I prefer Christmas..

For me, I do prefer xmas, it's my favorite holiday. I can't wait to decorate my house and put our family xmas tree and It's time for exchanging gifts too, oh i love presents, i can't wait to see what santa put inside my socks. Happy myloting.

I like Christmas!Because we are complete as a family every Christmas day and I have more gifts in Christmas than that of my birthday. And the ambiance and the atmosphere during this season is really magical. So i like it so much!

In china, i tell you, we treat the new year day more meaningful, even though we like the Christmas day and it become more popular in our country. We will do a lot of easten things like you do in Christmas and this is a fantastic experence for us

I love Christmas and spend a lot of time, money and effort to make it special for my family. It's kind of difficult because I live in Japan but I manage. My youngest is 7 and looks at the calender almost everyday to see how close we are to Christmas.
