Happy Monday ladies!

Personally, I can't pick between Halloween and Christmas.

I am such a Christmas junky!!! I spend the whole month decorating, listening to Christmas music, baking cookies, wrapping presents, watching Christmas movies, etc. etc. It becomes my obsession once December hits! haha

I'd say Christmas because it lasts for so long.  I usually have 2 weeks off and really get time to relax and relish in family time and time with my H without having to rush to have dinner with one family, rush to the other, then back to work the next day.

I love the family and friends get-togethers, the smell of the tree, caroling, and baking cookies.  And shopping without too much guilt.

I looooooove Christmas.  I also love my birthday :-P  It's a holiday, right?  Thanksgiving is a favorite too.  Mostly I just love holidays in general, especially when they involve not going to work and hanging out with my family instead.

I love Thanksgiving. Its always within a week of my birthday, so I always get presents & cake with the big family meal, haha.

I love Christmas! (I actually love Thanksgiving too, because I'm such a cooking/baking junkie, but we'll go with Christmas for now.)

I love decorating for the holidays (I have a Pinterest board with inspriations for this coming Christmas), my mom and I do a bunch of charitable stuff together in December, I love Christmas shopping, and I have a VHS of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special and Claymation Christmas from 1988 or '89, and it has all the really cheesy Christmas commercials on it.

I just designed this year's Christmas cards too (H and mine's first as a married couple).

As much as I love summer holidays like the 4th of July and having bbq's, going out on the boat, or going to the beach.. I just LOVE Christmas. I love like pp mentioned that it's in the air for a while and not just one day. For several weeks leading up to it, you're listening to Christmas songs, decorating the house, finding a Christmas tree, going to holiday parties, shopping for loved ones, and having get togethers with family. It's just such a comfy and great time of year. I love all the baking too! This year it's extra special, because it'll be the first time DH and I have been back to Connecticut since last Christmas. We've seen our families since then as they've come down to visit us and some of our friends, but not everyone and it'll be good to be "home" for a few days. But also be able to get back to warm sunny Florida after Christmas is over ;0)

Christmas, for sure!

I voted for Christmas, I absolutely love the whole month leading up to it. I love to decorate the house/tree. I love to drive the neighborhood all lit up.

4th of July is Andre's birthday so I guess that would have to be second haha

Easter!  For me there is a whole 2 months of preparing and whole awesome week!  And Easter has the best music.

My second favorite holiday is Christmas though

I love 4th of July! It's my birthday and growing up my parents had me convinced all the hoopla was just for me... honestly, it still is  

I like Christmas too, but I usually end up getting sick of it after a few weeks.

In the past it always has been Thanksgiving, but the past few years there haven't been a lot of family celebrations in my family (due to some key family members passing away).  And now that FI and I are getting married, our two moms are going to be fighting over who "gets us" this year, etc.

Soooo now it's between Christmas and New Year's.  I always throw a massive party for all my friends on New Year's Eve, then I sleep in on New Year's Day before getting up and doing a deep clean of the house/closets.

I love being with my family for Christmas.  This year we will be with the ILs and it will not be fun.

It was a toss up between thanksgiving and christmas. I think Christmas pulls out in the front because I love the meaning with Chirstmas, Christmas Eve service, presents, baking, the music and shopping for presents.

Easter! It just always feels like a new beginning.

</div><div>This exactly!! Except my Christmas obsession begins the day after Thanksgiving haha. From that day on (until New Years Day, usually) I have to listen to ONLY Christmas music anytime I am in the car. Haha people get sick of it but I love it so much! Not only is all this fun, but the reason we do it is to celebrate the birth of our Savior... doesn't get any better than that!! </div>

I picked Christmas because of family and all the music, but Easter is a close 2nd because of its significance for mankind

I looooove Christmas! Despite moving away from home at age 18 and spending time living in Australia and the Philippines, so far I have always managed to make it home for Christmas, and it is the best feeling ever to walk into my parents' house that's 90% decorated (because I always do the tree, and we all do a gingerbread village together!), and it's warm and smells like delicious baking! I eat waaaay too much over Christmas holidays! This year, I'll head to my parents' place as soon my coaching commitment ends in December, and then right after Boxing Day I'll fly to the States to be with my FI's family at his brother's house in MIchigan. Fun!

Wow! Australia and the Philippines? What brings you there? DH is Australian and we lived about an hour from Melbourne (Bendigo)

I love 4th of July - my grandpa has a cottage and my whole extended family comes out for a long weekend.  I also love Thanksgiving and the day after - Thanksgiving is such a refreshing time and a good reminder to me to be thankful and enjoy time with my family, and the day after all the women in my familiy (mom, sister, aunts, cousins) go out for breakfast and then shopping, mostly to watch all the crazy people along with getting good deals.
