Even though I am a Christmas Eve baby and my Mom was a New Year's Day baby Thanksgiving is the best holiday ever!! All the family joy, love, food, we share and not a single present having to be purchased or stressed over is the perfect holiday. Less family as the years go by but still the Turkey Day and all of November is my favorite time.

Hands down, Thanksgiving. The family, friends, food, festivities!. No gifts required.

No question about it. THANKSGIVING. It has always been a very important holiday in my family. It's a holiday that is all-inclusive. It doesn't matter where you come from, no matter what your religion, your race, your income, or your age, Thanksgiving is for everyone. It's a chance to show our gratitude for the abundance of our land and the generosity of our people...and the food is SOOO good!

@jaxs mom

Halloween is mine too and this involves no mandatory prep at our house at all.

I love to throw in a cutesy or campy theme (such as "if the shoes fit 👠 " ) or something a little bit naughty/nice as in mischievous children just to satisfy my inner child!

Easter. I live in South Dakota so Easter means SPRING! YAY!. It will get warmer and then the greenhouses start going up. Same thing as what some say with Thanksgiving. You get together with family, have a nice meal and don't spend lots of money.

I have to agree with Vivian about Thanksgiving. Every year my DB in New England opens his beautiful home to family and friends. All that can come are welcome. Every year it can be different with the addition of new babies, deaths of those dear to us, and new neighbors, boyfriends, etc. We actually have the large meal on Thursday but those that have to work on Friday, may come Saturday. Each day is different and the leftovers are as grand as the scrumptious feast. He does one turkey in his grill and one in a roaster. Leaves the oven open for sides and everyone pitches in. It is the absolute BEST!!

It's a toss up for me. Love Christmas because of the meaning.....Christ's birthday and the music and beautiful decorations. But Thanksgiving is important, too, because of celebrating all of our Blessings, family, food, football w/out all the stress of gift exchanging. I like that part, too, but it is exhausting.

Christmas Day. Christmas Eve was always the best time with Family and Friends. I did a lot of decorating.

New Year's Eve. Not because of parties or going out which I don't do but because I am thankful to have gotten through another year and hope in the new year I'll finally get it right.

Thanksgiving--too much food and I give thanks every day of my life.

I love this holiday too. I love celebrating the greatest country in the history of the world. I love the long warm days. I love fireworks and the whole family being together (my mom's birthday is on the 3rd). When my son was little, I loved that summer vacation still had two months left to have him home and spend time with!

Man, this makes me want summer!
