Which of the holidays do you like most? (I'm American, and I don't know if some of these are even celebrated in other countries.)

Christmas, I get gifts! The time of year is also very nice, well when you're not shopping. My whole family gets together, and have a nice time, bad times or good.

I like Christmas too. I love all the time off, I like the snow (don't hurt me :lol: ), most people are pretty happy, and it's fun.

Thanksgiving. Minimal work, and a big meal. It's awesome.

Christmas, of course. It's awesome: You got the tree, the presents, the excuse to wake your parent's up at 5AM (I used to do that all the time :Twisted Evil: ). It doesn’t get much better then that! :D

When we think about it, Christmas is kinda strange. Take a tree, put it in our living rooms, and put lights around the house. We also hang over-sized socks of the fireplace, which is a large fire-risk. (Let's not even talk about the tree!)

I would have been tied with Halloween and Christmas, because I love both of the atmospheres they have, just daylight savings ruined Halloween for me. When I was little I would trick or treat at 6:00 and it would be pitch black outside. Now it looks just like midday. BTW, I live in Indiana, so we just switched to daylight savings a few years back.

Christmas fo sho. What I like more than the presents and stuff (well fine. Equally) is the whole atmosphere. Just knowing it's Christmas, you'll get presents, there's good food, you can listen to Ramsey Lewis, all good stuff. Oh, and watching those silly clayanimated X-mas shows on TV.

For affiliate marketers it's a great time as well. All those people wanting gifts! :mrgreen:

I felt like that was really a letdown ending to a rather superb piece of film. Doesn't stop it from being a good holingday though.

Christmas is the classic. Any day that (for me) consists of getting lots of new stuff, going to the pub, having a massive roast dinner then continuing to drink until you fall asleep just after Doctor Who is always going to be good.

Like the song says: Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.

I hate it when Christmas Day ends. Everyone that likes it always thinks Awww, another year until it comes around again?

I always get sad the next day because I think I could've had a better time :D .

Heh, same here.

There's supposedly 12 days of Christmas, though.
