Search Results: favorite holiday

The is the final round of "Battle of the Months"! In this round, I will list the final four months. The month that wins the most votes will move on to the pre-championship round.

Even though my birthday is September 7th, I don't like that month at all. It's the start of a new school year, the pools close here in Ohio and it seems to be a month where there isn't much going on.

This is a very close one: It's between October and December. I'll give December (My favorite month of the year by the way) the slight edge for these reasons: 1. Christmas is my favorite holiday. 2. The weather is cool but I like cold weather (and it's not frigid necessarily.) 3. It has New Year's Eve as well. 4. Due to the holidays, this means a lot of time off school and work. I just LOVE December: It almost entirely has to do with the holidays though.

I'm dating a girl (I've been in love with her for a while) and we've only been technically dating for a few weeks. Been on like four dates but we've known each other for a year now. So I didn't want to do too much for Valentine's Day since we're a relatively new couple.

So I went to local flower shop and spent a while customizing a small flower arrangement with the owner (I'm not exactly great with flowers haha). Nothing huge. And then I went online and found someone on Etsy who can make stuffed bears with anyone's name on it. (shoutout to SouthernMissBows there. Check her out! Her work is amazing!) So I got a small ~5 inch white stuffed bear with her name on it.

Now I wasn't sure if that was good. I thought it was and frankly, I didn't nor could I afford like anything too extravagant. This is my and her first Valentine's Day period and I was afraid of doing the cliche "flowers and chocolate" thing. I like making things special and unique. For instance, for Christmas, I got her an autograph of her favorite author. And for her birthday I drew her something (I'm an artist). I didn't know if this was too generic so I got the name on the bear. I thought that was good but I wanted to get a standard of gifts for the holiday to make sure. I also didn't want to go too big and overwhelm her because it is our first Valentine's Day as I said, and she is super shy.

So what are your thoughts anybody?

Imagine if you got to create a new holiday that people would celebrate from now on. What traditions do you think people would have the most fun following?

Feel free to add as many as you want, but I will list a few so you can pick your favorite if you prefer.
