What's yours? I'm not big on holidays, really. We barely celebrate the smaller ones, Christmas stresses me out. So does Thanksgiving, but I love food so maybe Thanksgiving. It's a little easier now that my son helps cook, for sure.
 
We're not big on holidays either. I love to cook, so Thanksgiving would probably be my favorite. But I love it when we have a white Christmas too.
 
Even though I don't love all the extra stuff that people put on themselves around Christmas, it's still my favorite holiday. We really try to keep it simple and just enjoy the reason for the season and our families.
 
Mine would be anything in the summer. No school, family, friends, fun... etc. :)
 
I love Valentine's Day. Pink and hearts.....what more could i ask for. I don't even care about the lovey-dovey chocolate/roses/expensive dinners, etc. Just literally the pink and the hearts.
 
Christmas, of course. I loooooove holidays (having been raised by my holiday-lovin' mama), and Christmas is the most special of all. I try to pack as much as possible into December, especially now that I have kids, and document it all with December Daily. It's stressful, but worth it for me. There is just something different abt that time of year; everything is more... MORE.
 
That's a tough one for me. It's always been Christmas and I guess it still is, although the older I get the less I like and enjoy it. It's been so over commercialized that it makes me stressed out now. I do still love that certain feeling that seems to hang in the air around Christmas though.

This is me except the December Daily part. I would still love to finish my one album that I started though.

I really try to make Christmas as special as I can for my family, we do the whole making ornaments, cookie baking, going to look at lights, making gifts, decorating the house mess. I love it! It was such a special time for us growing up, I really try to capture a little bit of that magic for my daughter.
 
I love Xmas time, especially these last few yrs when it has been less stressful with more emphasis put on family time, fun events and enjoying the joviality of the season rather than the gifts and money. All the decorations and pretty lights always make me happy.
 
Christmas remains my favorite holiday but I put my focus on family time and being grateful for our family and friends! :)
 
Without a doubt, Christmas. I love the entire season for so many reasons... family togetherness, decorating, good food, the magic and, of course, the meaning of the season. We kick our Christmas season off the weekend after Thanksgiving with a holiday luminary walk at our local arboretum. It's a long standing tradition that always puts in the perfect mood for Christmas. For me, it culminates with our candlelight service on Christmas Eve at church and the big fun of presents/family dinner on Christmas day.
