Christmas is my favourite holiday because it’s cold outside so you get to snuggle up with your partner inside and watch lots of great TV.

My fave holiday is Christmas because I get to spend time with my family. I’m close with my fam & they’re really important to me. During Christmas, I get to see my relatives from all over the country. Everyone’s usually in good spirits & I just love the feeling of Christmas. I love to see X-Mas lights & seeing all the decorations. I enjoy it very much. 🙂

I love any holiday that gets me some time off from work!!! LOL but I have a few fave holidays… Christmas because I love everything about it (the gifts, the weather, seeing my family, and everyone just seems to be so pleasant around that time)… Thanksgiving because I love to eat!!! And last but not least, Carnival!!! Being that my family is from the islands, Carnival is big deal and we try to make it to at least one every year!

My favorite holiday is when my family went to Koh Samui, Thailand.
We went to a resort called the Karma resort and it was AMAZING
We had a private pool, 3 bedrooms which are separated into little bungalos a living room that is also separated. the living room had a kitchen, a tv, couches and a dining table and everything.
We spent so much time in the resort just relaxing and soaking ourselves in the sun. We listned to music…watched movies and drank alot of cocktails. it was amazing!

My favourite holiday would be Christmas; although my father died 2 years ago, I will remember all holiday we spent together with my family. Usually I would come home on Christmas eve (let’s not mention the times I would miss the train :))) and my parents would wait for me and my brotehr to come home and decorate our house. My mom would cook my favourite brownies and I would sit with my father in the kitchen talking about school and job and cookies 🙂 These are the memories I keep in mind, although Christmas is really sad now without my dad 🙁

My favorite holiday is Halloween! The first reason is because it’s the closest holiday to my son’s birthday (October 14th) & the 2nd reason is b/c it gives girls like myself who don’t work in the fashion or beauty industries a chance to dress up & be overly glamorous! This year I’m gonna be a sexy leopard! With the full leopard makeup! I’m über excited!!

My favorite holiday is Easter. I love the pastel colors. I love the religious aspect of it. I love getting together with the family. I love the Easter Egg hunts with the children. I love the weather.

Thought my favorite holiday season is Christmas. I love the feeling. I love the atmosphere. I love the hapiness. I love the sales. I love mint. I love the clothes; boots, leggings, gloves, scarves. I love being with family. I love that there’s no school. I love the songs.

My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love everything about it, I love the decorations, the coldness. I absolutely love the smells. Love the 24 hour marathon of “A Christmas story” on TBS! I am 24, and really haven’t experienced the gift opening portion of Christmas in a long time. I was always more into buying gifts for everyone, and wrapping them really pretty. Also looked forward to always buying that extra toy to drop in the Toys for Tots box at whichever department store. Even if I am short on money, which always tends to happen around that time. I still make do with what I have. I enjoy every part of it. I know it is better to give than to receive. I am lucky to have friends and family who are thankful for whatever they get. They don’t complain, and if I get a gift, no matter what it is, even if It’s body wash from the Dollar Tree, I don’t mind. I love it, its very much so appreciated!

My favorite holidays are Christmas and New Year’s. I love Christmas because of the Christmas trees, the decorations, the twinkle of the decoration lights and on trees, and everything!

My favorite holiday has got to be HALLOWEEN. Of course. Who doesn’t love a holiday where you get to dress up, step out of harsh reality for an evening, and get free candy?! Of course its also another excuse to go crazy with make up, haha

the best time of the year is certainly the holidays. the hot chocolate, family together, gifts wrapping, the smiles on children faces and santa’s warm lap. lets not forget the fashion! and warm fall trends. its the time of the year where all families come together regardless of religion, to share the joy with all.

My favorite holiday is a toss up between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love Christmas because I get to see the joy in my daughters’ faces when they open up their gifts and I get to be excited about Santa Claus through them all over again.

I love thanksgiving because my whole family gets together and eats tons of delicious food and then we play Trivial Pursuit until we pass out. (Yeah, we know how to party lol)

My absolute fave is Christmas. I know it’s not really an original choice, but I just love it, all the pretty pretty lights, a little tree in my room and ofcourse gifts ^^ It’s just about the only holiday we really celebrate with the whole family present, so it’s one of the few times a year we really get to spend time with the entire family. =)

Halloween, I’m really into the fantastical and I love dressing up and wearing elaborate makeup. It’s also not a “family” holiday so you never have to feel sad about not having any and being alone.

You have no idea how much I loved this collection. I wasn’t into MAC at the time so I’ve slowly gotten a few things in swap and blog sales. I would absolutely adore more things from this collection!

My favorite holiday is Christmas, but I also love Thanksgiving. There has always been something heartwarming and endearing about watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade, and enjoying good food with the family all day long. I also love Thanksgiving, because to me, it marks the real start of the “holiday season,” with a full month of fun with Christmas shopping, baking, and decorating!

My favorite holiday is Christmas, because it’s the only time my family puts aside all of their differences, and spends quality time together no matter what.

I also LOVE shopping for presents… I have a giving addiction… and what better time of year to give than CHRISTMAS!

Love these, so pretty! XO

My favorite holiday (“holy day”) is Sunday because that’s when I can take a breather and catch up on tasks that have fallen by the wayside for the past week! Bad pun? 🙂 Ok, my favorite holiday is Memorial Day or Labor Day because they kick off the summer and fall, respectively. Those 3-day weekends are a welcome respite and they usuall involve grilling outdoors! Reading others’ comments, it seems like there are different interpretations of the word “holiday.” I presume that those who live in the U.S. regard a holiday as a day when the U.S. Postal Service is closed. Meanwhile, I’m guessing those who don’t live in the U.S. regard the word “holiday” as the U.S. equivalent of “vacation,” as in an extended trip away from home.
