Honestly, I'm not a holiday person, at least for holiday sake, but I do enjoy the Christmas season because I like how homey my wife makes my house. I like the cinnamon and vanilla candles, I like the good grub and eggnog, and I like when there is snow. I do, however, get tired of all the commercial chaos and the feeling like you need to buy someone something.

I love Easter. It's such a joyous holiday. The church bells are ringing, people are wearing festive clothes, the altar is highly decorated, and the liturgy is very special on that day. The scent of Easter lilies fills the air. The church serves a champagne brunch for the adults, and there is Easter candy for everyone. The children hunt for Easter eggs on the church lawn.

None really. The only thing I like about them is that I get that time off work. I actually want all holidays to hurry up and be over with, especially Christmas because it's too commercialized.

My favorite holiday is either Christmas or Valentines Day!

Ramadan and Hajj are my favorite holidays though I haven't done Hajj yet. Ramadan because it gets me closer to ALLAH in spirit and mind as well as body. Also Eid-Fitr because that signifies the end of Ramadan and all the Muslims get together and make a lot of food.

Good Friday because after that comes the wait of Saturday and the resurrection on Easter Sunday. The Good Friday church service is probably my favorite of the year.

Christmas! I love the feeling of family togetherness, the Christmas carols, the whole Christmas atmosphere! I also love buying and giving people presents, and celebrating the birth of Jesus!

Christmas Day. It's fun to wake up and see family you haven't seen in awhile, enjoy a dinner together, open presents and play in the snow.

Halloween and the blood orgy!
Okay, maybe not the orgy part. But I do love dressing up, hanging out, drinking, and watching scary movies.
Of course, spending Christmas with my family is also pretty wonderful.

Christmas has always been one of my favourites, don't really do much, but I like that everyone seems to be in better spirits.
Also like Eid, Diwali, Hanukah, Octoberfest, Chinese New Year, and whatever else...
