I enjoy Fourth of July. Summer is my favorite season. It's so easy have a bbq and all the typical sides that go with it. We usually have a good size crowd and everyone is outside. Don't have to worry too much about how clean your house is. Some people even bring their dogs as we have a large fenced in backyard and pool. I actually get to sit and enjoy it too. Oh, and just paper plates too. Clean up is a breeze.

Definitely Christmas, in all its glory, and celebration,.  Even the hustle & bustle, frantic lists, travel or no travel, etc.  Every part of it I love.

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 enjoy Easter!  It signifies a new beginning.  To me it is like Thanksgiving in the Spring.

 

Always enjoyed dressing the children in their new outfits and see them hunt Easter eggs.  Just a special time for us.

July 4th and Christmas! Sorry can't choose, they are both fun. We have a super big parade on the 4th where thousands and thousands of people show up-my borther lives on the parade route, so we always have a place to sit and after the parade, we rent a part of a nice park and get a bouncy house the kids and squirt guns and water balloons, and have a nice big picnic, usually there about 30 of us, or more, and then later that evening we go to the fireworks! It is just a fun relaxing day and it is my sis's birthday so we always celebrate with a big cake for her as well.....And Christmas is special as well.......

Christmas though I do enjoy Thanksgiving as it (for me) is a time of truly giving thanks; peace and reflection.

   Thanksgiving!! There is nothing better than family,friends,football & great food!! It's a fun day to get together with loved ones in a casual manner.There is absolutely no religion involved & no gifts expected or exchanged!! It's just an opportunity to slow down unplug & connect!!

New Year's Day

It's a beautiful way everyone on Earth can celebrate the same.

It's a fresh start, a do-over....or it can be a fresh, new chapter

to your successful well-being.  

I totally understand New Year's Resolutions...they are very, very positive proclamations.  Most successful people have yearly, monthly, weekly, daily intentions.

July 4th because it is a relaxing and fun day at the lake where we live, and we have a great fireworks display which we watch from our own deck. It's a happy and easygoing day with no driving, no gifts, no big meal to prepare.

That's what I was going to say!  We go to the neighborhood parade in the morning, then have a cookout afterward, relax then go to the fireworks display at night.  We are old and we know where to park to see the display and get out first!!! Ha ha!
