I choose Christmas, but Thanksgiving is a close second choice immediately followed by Halloween!

I love Thanksgiving AND Christmas equally. It's the time of the year, that each and everyone in my family is here at my house. The smell of cooking, the laughter and the sound of my grandkids playing. I love it, even tho for me it's hectic with the cleaning and cooking. I love every minute of it.

I LOVE the whole holiday season.  The gaudiness, the paries, the buzz.  The excitement of the kids.  Seeing family I might not otherwise see.  I also avoid most of the whole shopping stress thing by doing most of the shopping waaaaaay ahead of time.  I'm 2/3 finished with my christmas shopping already.  That way I don't come up to Christmas broke.

I like Thanksgiving for the same reasons Clint spoke of.  Fun Football and Food. 

It is nice to get together with the family for a nice meal and give thanks. 

Christmas is more of a kids holiday for me nowadays.

Mine is Halloween.  I enjoy dressing up and answering the door for the trick or treaters, or even going to a party.  I've won first place a couple of times and it just so much fun dressing up.

I picked Halloween.  I'm usually the lady in the neighborhood that goes over the top with creepy decor and music for the trick or treaters.

I'd have to say Easter is a close 2nd though.  I don't really know why. Lol.
