Definitely Christmas.

Easter

Easter Sunday by a million miles. It is like Christmas only in far better weather and without the blaring in your face intensity.

To be sure, in our family growing up it was a huge holiday. My mother decorated the house. She had a little Easter village with Bunny figurines, she had a wreath on the front door with an Easter there - flowers and colored eggs and a couple of Bunny figures, and suchlike.

We would get up and look for the Easter baskets that the Bunny had hidden. These had always been hand made by my mother and were wrapped in colored celophane with a big chocolate bunny in the center - in the Bicentennial year of 1976, I still remember this, it was "Peter Patriot." The Bunny also brought us a few wrapped presents as well - and again these were all hidden all over the house and we hand to hunt for them.

Then we would go to church - which to be fair as little kids we were not all that keen on. Then to my mother's parent's house for brunch and --- guess what? ------ the Easter Bunny happened to have visited there and we got another smaller basket and a couple more presents.

Then after that to my Dad's parent's house where there was a huge dinner party - probably 60 or so people, friends and cousins - that would go fairly late into the evening.

On top of all that, in those days the public schools actually gave you an Easter break that ran from Good Friday through the whole week after Easter Sunday. So you got home late on Easter night but knowing that you had a whole week ahead of you to do whatever you want. The weather was finally - we lived in Michigan - turning warm after a long winter and as little kids we were out to run and play all day. When I was I high school, my friends and I would make day trips to local parks and such.

Suffice to say I have nothing but fond memories and my girlfriend and I do essentially the same things with our own children. Plus we have the extra advantage of living in the Washington, DC area so the weather is generally even better than it was in Michigan.

(We also added our own tradition of driving across the Chesapeake Bay bridge - and then back across - "breaking the seal on beach season" we call it - and then going to Annapolis to walk around and maybe take a bay cruise. Then we go to her parent's for a dinner party.)

As I say, it is all the fun of Christmas but without the blaring in your face television commercials, the lousy cold weather, and the garish colors. (I much prefer Easter pastels to Christmas primary colors.)

So as far as I am concerned we can dispense with all the other holidays. As to my kids, (ages, 9,8, and 6) I have to admit that seeing their excitement at any of the holidays warms my heart - but I still have to admit that when I think back, even to my own surprise, it is the Easters that I get the most sentimental about.

My birthday (and yes it should be declared a world wide holiday) followed by Christmas then Halloween and valentines and new years then Thanksgiving and all the other bullshit holidays in between except for that fake ass holiday columbus day that day should just be striken from the record books or having exist

[Yuri1970]

I voted Thanksgiving, but am going to tell why Christmas can disappear and not be missed; too much stress, everybody is angry in public, and is the season my relatives seem to kick the bucket (natural causes, no suicides).

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Fuck yeah, Chinese New Year
The only time I actually like Chinese people acting inappropriately. :p

[Nxtawm]

Definitely Christmas! I love the Christmas spirit, everything's so cherry. It's fun to wrap gifts and give gifts too. Also, decorating the tree and being able to pile gifts under it it the best part.

[jennifer_bloom]

I voted 4th of July cause it takes place in the summer time and they’ve got good food and shows and fireworks and markets

[Somethingwittty]

Thanksgiving because all of my family shows up and I get to see all of my siblings and their kids. So its pretty awesome.

[StephenCF]

Christmas, though I’m not a Christian 🎅🏻🎄☃️ For nostalgia reasons, I love to indulge in the music, atmosphere, events, shows, movies and the shopping 😍😍😍

[ElissaDido]

Other - Ramadan

But out of these, I'd say Halloween

[Jaximus-Lion]

The best holiday is the weekend 😏. You work 5 days, some times 6 days and then! WEEKEND 😊

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I always enjoy that stretch from Christmas Eve to New Year's day.

[diphylleiagrayi]

Easter, Christmas and new year's/chinese new year :>

Definitely New Year. I'm atheist and I don't celebrate religious holidays.
