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!

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)

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 (“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.

My mom would bake up a storm and its around this time of the year where decorations are the prettiest with all the trees and lights! And there's PRESENTS too! And churches everywhere would have programs where you can listen to their choirs sing and later enjoying a cup of hot cider with tons of christmast cookies right after. Best time of the year it definitely it :DDD

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. My mom past away from a 2-year battle with cancer in 1998. She was unable to move or get out of bed for the last 8 months of her life. But the last time I remember her out of bed was Thanksgiving ’97. Her and my dad were slow dancing in the kitchen while he was checking on the turkey. They were smiling and he was looking at her so much love in eyes, he didn’t care about her cane or bald head. He just held her while they danced. That’s what I think about every Thanksgiving.

I think it has to be Christmas too, although it has become very commercial now. Even so, I feel that it’s a time when everyone seems to be cheerful and nice to each other whether it be in the workplace, passers by on the street or sales staff in shops. Plus the added bonus of seeing your family, friends and loved ones and exchanging gifts and eating until your stuffed.

My favorite Holiday is a mix of Halloween and Christmas. I can’t pick one! Halloween because it’s during autumn (my favorite season even though we here in Florida don’t seem to get it. :[ ) and it can easily be less spookified into a more Martha Stewart version that I much prefer. Christmas because it has (of course) presents(!) and the spirit of the holiday is just everywhere. Plus the decorations are absolutely wonderful for both.

hmm fav holiday might be New Years? I don’t really celebrate any of the other holidays really, but New Years is one of those universal holidays that’s hard to forget, and it’s one of the few hols that we celebrate at home (since it’s also part of the Chinese holidays). And i love dumplings so New Years == eating a lot of dumplings~ I think my fav holiday memories involve food haha

Hands down Christmas is my all time favorite holiday. Since i rarely ever get to see my relatives, Christmas is practically the only time i see most of them, so it really means a lot to me when i get to spend time with my family. When i was young it use to be all about getting gifts but as i got older i really learned what it means to cherish family moments.

When I studied abroad in Australia, I quickly learned that Aussies refer to vacations as “holidays” so in this sense, my favorite holiday is anytime I get to go on vacation — my popular vacation spot this summer was Vegas! (I went 3x in 60 days, haha)

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Not because I like to eat Turkey. 🙂

In Canada, Thanksgiving Day is the second Monday in October which is usually very close to my birthday. I usually make use of this long weekend and party up.

PS: I love all sorts of MAC Holiday Collections and this year I think they have even MORE choices… I hope I win this.

My favorite holiday is Easter! Apart from coloring eggs and then searching for the eggs that get lost because you decided to launch a few with a catapult, its also a time where I sit down for a wonderful lunch and dinner followed with who has the best easter bunnys stuffed animal conversation.

I love Halloween, dressing up & having fun, trick or treaters, & seeing all the cute kids:)
Christmas would be the top though, as it’s more of a season. I love the festivities; holiday parties, baking cookies, shopping for gifts, and of course receiving gifts!

Christmas! A bit part of it is because my birthday falls at the beginning of December so the whole month is pretty celebratory. Another part of it is that a lot of makeup companies come out with their gift sets which allows me to sample a little bit of everything. Love it.

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Taking the time to stop and remember what we all have to be thankful for, all the yummy food and time with family, the smells and the weather… all leading up to Christmas. It’s the opening act for the holiday season in my book 🙂

My favorite holiday is Christmas! It always makes feel like a kid again. I just love seeing Christmas lights, listening to holiday songs, putting up the Christmas tree, baking cookies, and spending time with friends and family. I get so giddy when I go to the grocery store and see it covered in lights and smell the pine trees out front. I’m such a dork! 🙂

Thanks for another great giveaway Christine!

Christmas is my favorite holiday. Thanksgiving can be a bit of a hassle with some of my family in the States and some in Canada, meaning two different Thanksgivings, but at least with Christmas we can all get together and everyone is out of school and we can just sit around and eat until we burst and then go and play in the snow 🙂

My favorite holiday is Christmas. I absolutely love to watch my family open their gifts and I love the orginal Sephora GC I get from the hubby. It is greatly appreciated even though a little more thought would be great:)I also love to sit around the hearth on Christmas morning with Cinnabuns in lap from the little Pillsbury boy listening to my Mom read the Christmas story before we open our gifts. Tradition since I was old enough to remember. That Christmas story always felt so long when I was a child:)

I love all the gift giving (and receiving), the real meaning of the season, the festive atmosphere, the nice weather (makes you want to cuddle up with that special someone), the get togethers with family and friends, glorious food, and of course I love the holiday collections.
