What's your favorite holiday? Which one do you decorate the most for? What is your least favorite holiday?
I love Christmas and it's what I decorate most for. I used to do Easter/spring/DD1 birthday decorations when the kids were little, and DD2 loved bunnies so it was bright and cheery for a cold snowy spring. I do have some fall decor but it seems like by the time the leaves change colors I'm still holding on to summer and then there's only a few weeks and then the snow comes so I'd rather have Christmas out than leaves and pumpkins.
I do not like Halloween at all, any of it. Never have.

My favorite holiday is Halloween and fall decor. There's no pressure of gifts or to feel a certain way. I love horror movies and all things scary so it's the perfect holiday for me.
I used to really love Christmas but it's so chaotic in my family with all of the people together in my sister's small house that it's just not as fun.
I probably will put up my tree next weekend as I will be out of town for Thanksgiving at my Ds's. Hopefully that will get me in the mood.

Definitely Christmas. I love the lights, the cooler weather, the baked goods, and Christmas shopping, just to name a few. I always felt like people were happier during the Christmas season. Other than new school clothes during summer, Christmas was the only time of the year we'd get anything new, so I really looked forward to it. Second would be Halloween.

Thanksgiving is my favorite. No pressure holiday. Everybody just gets together and no expectations, stress, disappointment, etc.
I do decorate for just about every holiday, christmas being my favorite decor.

The holiday I decorate the most for is Halloween but my favorite holiday to celebrate is the 4th of July because I love hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, and fireworks.

Halloween. I love the colors and the fun decor. I do like horror movies, but also like the cute side of Halloween i.e. cats in witches hat. Second is Thanksgiving because it is a no pressure holiday.

Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday. The actual day. My family loves sports and the football games are a pretty big part of it. Especially since our 2 family teams ( Detroit and Dallas ) always play. I like all the T Day food too. I decorate a lot for Fall. It’s my favorite season by far.
Next would be a close second - Christmas Eve. I’ve always loved Christmas Eve by far more than actual Christmas. It’s the night time, lights, anticipation. Magic in the air. My favorite night of the year. Lots of time Christmas is not what I had hoped for. This has absolutely nothing to do with gifts. It’s just anticlimactic a lot, for me. I do decorate a lot for Christmas too.

I love Christmas for all the decorating. But 4th of July is my favorite holiday I think. No stress about gifts, just getting together.

I used to love Christmas and Halloween. Lately I just can't get into any of it. I didn't decorate last year, and probably won't this year either. As for Halloween, I didn't even pass out candy. I feel like I'm turning into a crotchety old woman! LOL!

Christmas. I am already decorating inside for it. It has been a seriously rough year, and I need the extra few weeks of cheer.
My least favorite is Halloween. I don't like horror and I've never been into Halloween. Not even as a kid.

I don't decorate, but my favorite is New Years Eve.
I stay home that night, by myself....in pajamas.
I pick up take out and a fancy dessert earlier in the day.
I read, eat, have a couple cups of hot tea, have dessert, sometimes watch a movie. I take a long shower (so I start the new year fresh and clean), I also put fresh sheets on my bed on New Years Eve.
I don't like Halloween.

Christmas will always be my favorite, it was my mom's favorite and my mother always made the Christmas season special for me, my sister and brother.
But I suffer from extreme sadness during this time since her passing but remind myself that she would be mad at me for being sad.

I like Thanksgiving the best. It used to bug me to no end because my sister had involvement in this church full of losers and we had have it on Monday. I would rather have it on Sunday and the surviving 4 of us agree. It used to bug my mom, too. Now I love that weekend the very best and look forward to it! 😁

Easter is my favorite holiday. The meaning is a huge factor, but it also coincides with the beginning of spring and spring is my favorite season. I love the rebirth of nature. Love the tress leafing out and blooming, the grass greening up and the many flowers that start blooming. We always get together for a nice meal with all my immediate family and some friends, which I love. Thanksgiving would be second for me for the same reason of getting together with family with lots of good food.

I love the run up to Christmas, the decorations, the lights, the excitement,,people being nice. I don’t care about the actual holiday though. My thoughts exactly - I love the shopping, cooking, decorating, sending out cards, setting the table but the actual day itself I really could do without. |

Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the glow of the tree lights every evening when the sun goes down. I love the Christmas music, and the peace of the season.
I don't enjoy Easter. Don't know why, I just am not fond of it.

Green grass, leaves and flowers are a ways away yet. |
