Christmas Day for sure...it's the day before my sons birthday & I can hardly handle it again this year.
Dec 1 will be the 2 yr anniversary of him commiting suicide. I hate the whole month of December now. I dread the whole holiday cheer thing because it only serves to remind my family of our loss.
All day Christmas I will think only of that day in '79 when I went into labor with him & how he was born in the wee morning hours just missing Xmas.

I would do without New Years Day and the Eve that goes with it. It appears that just because a man made date changes that people think that everything will get better. It rarely does. Christmas day is a celebration of a happening that has changed the world, the birth of Jesus and the start of Christianity.

Without New Year's Eve there would not be any new years. So, we would not be able to count age... so I could say I'm 29 as long as I want to.......BUT - I have felt for a long time that Christmas I could do without because there is too much commercialism and hype over a lie, and nobody celebrates the real reason for Christmas anymore. Plus, nobody knows when Christ's birthday really was, they just picked a date out of a hat and said this is it. They timed it with the winter equinox so that heathens would be more apt to celebrate it. Then they added all this symbolism to a tree with lights on it, and gifts and then a fat "elf" that sneaks down chimneys and leaves toys for kids and yada yada yada... now there's no resemblence to the actual holy event it was meant to remember in worship.
So, I can do without Christmas as a "holiday". No worries, I teach my child about God and she has plenty of miracles to believe in which are NOT lies.

New Years Eve, because I love Christmas and that it a time when you you have fun and everyone is happy and excited and you all have fun. Not saying that New Years Eve isn't like this but it isn't as much fun, and on New Years Eve you have to pay an arm and a leg to get into anywhere

I'd go without New Years Eve. Christmas Day is a family day for me & N.Y.E. is just a bloody clock/calender change, nothing to get excited about.

Christmas is for kids, I don`t have any, got other young family though, step grandchildren and a neice, I`m not religious so both of these days are just a holiday, I would prefer New Year it`s more for adults

New Year's Eve. Christmas is a very important day to me. I get to see and be with my family, go to church, have dinner, and exchange presents :)

I would go without NYE ( I don't drink), I would'nt want to miss the Magic of Christmas for ANYTHING, It's the most wonderful holiday ever ! The kids do that big slide into home base, into all of the presents under the tree like I used to do, it cracked me up !
