Random Question Wednesday

What is your favorite holiday and why do you like it?

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!

I like it because there is no hype around it. It's a day to gather with family or friends, enjoy a good meal and be thankful for all you have. I love the tradition that my family (and a lot of people have) of everyone at the table telling what they're most thankful for in their lives.

I love to cook so I don't mind spending time in the kitchen getting ready for the feast. And I like to see the different foods and traditions that others have.

And I love the food of Thanksgiving! Everything is a favorite of mine; the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauces, vegetables, rolls and especially pumpkin pie! YUM!

I'd say Christmas and Halloween are my favorites. Christmas is great because I always get back home, all the family is there, the food is great (the gifts aren't bad either--ha).

I think I enjoy Halloween more now than when I was a kid. I love dressing up and going to gatherings. Very fun.

I like the more discrete holidays -- Valentin's Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving....over, say, Christmas. The less commercialization, the better for me.

Christmas, because they have the prettiest trees. :-) :-)

Actually, I'm with you. Thanksgiving is probably my favorite. I love being with my family (including my in-laws!!) and having all that amazing food at the same time. I'm not a fan of holidays that you have to shop for in order to enjoy them.

I like 4th of July because of the fireworks.

Hey...I was surprised to read your saying this....I thot I was alone. I TOO love Thanksgiving the most since NO expectations of self serving gifts, etc. Everyone celebrates a coming together over wonderful comforting food...... I can't wait.

The top 4 happen in the year for me. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve. I just ignore the commerical crap and dance to my own drum!
