Re: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE HOLIDAY?

Valentines's Day!  I suddenly realized, a few years ago, that I like Valentine's Day.  It requires no fancy meal prep or entertaining.   

 

I buy little trinkets for the grandbabies.  My husband and I exchange small gifts....candy/flowers.  And, I love the Valentine decor that I have.  Lots of red hearts, etc., that brighten up the longest, darkest part of winter.

Re: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE HOLIDAY?

Mine would be the 4th of July. Love entertaining outside, so much easier than having a big sit down dinner in the dining room. We have an inground pool so all the kids and adults can stay cool. Don't have to worry about presents either. It is much more laid back and I get to actually enjoy time with our guests. Clean up is simple, I use all plastic utensils and plates. Dogs are welcomed too, we have a large fenced in back yard and it so funny to watch them play together and they go in the pool too. I like what the day represents also. Love Christmas, but not all the pressure that comes with it.

Christmas. I love the decorating, the shopping, the wrapping, the unwrapping...

 

It has and always will be my favorite holiday.

Me too!  Any excuse to celebrate and if there isn't a traditional holiday on a given time, I

l'll invent one.

 

I love decorating for Fall and XMas.

Both seasons are so full of good times with friends. Good eats. Good drinks. Good company.

Halloween. My Mom knew how much I liked it and would always send me a card. So does DH. We have a few Halloween traditions one is we always watch "The Lady in White".

I think it is really the season (fall ) that I really like.

I also love Thanksgiving. It is a holiday we ALL can celebrate and thank whomever.

Wonder who Ron Reagan thanks.

Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July. Just great times with family and friends and no gifts. Christmas has become too commercial.

Re: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE HOLIDAY?

thanksgiving, but it is starting to not be my favorite, due to all of the "black" wednesday, thursday and friday crud retailers do.

 

They have ruined Christmas, and Thanksgiving is not that far behind.

 

I guess it will have to be the 4th of July or my birthday!!
