    The best one I had was on my 50th birthday, five years ago. Lots of family came to stay for my birthday and stayed on, some of them into January 2nd. It was a lot of hard work but oh Lord I had a brilliant time!!!!

  152. So hard to choose..there’s the normal holidays that are easy to choose such as Halloween or Christmas, but being a military brat, I love Veterans Day…I’m part of the VFW and teaching my 6 year old stepson patriotism…Veterans Day we took his dad out for supper, cooked him breakfast, wrote thank you cards and we will be painting rocks with red, whit and blue to leave wherever we go to spread patriotism…

  172. Thanksgiving! Gathering family together, consuming a special meal, sharing the happenings in our lives and our plans for the next year.

  185. I like all holidays, but I guess that Christmas would have to be the best. I love the fact that people are (usually) kind to each other and willing to give to each other. Love for the birth of Jesus and the joy of the season is so much more alive at that time of the year.

  187. My favorite holiday is fourth of July. We have a cookout and watch the fireworks show with my family from Fort Hood.

  212. Though not an official holiday – I love Halloween. It is the one time of the year that I go all out because of all the children that live in our area decorating the yard from border to border.

That in between time when it’s all pretty and everyone (or a good majority of people anyway) are all happy and humming or singing carols and just enjoying things. I like that time so I suppose my favorite holiday is… I would go with Christmas if I had to pick just one though I’m tempted to say Thanksgiving because of what follows. Oh, I’m so torn! Happy days!

  287. I have a problem with holidays. You see, Jewish holidays are “something happened to us, we won, LET’S EAT” Guess who does all the cooking for the 30 plus kids, grandkids, cousins and whoever else shows up at our doorstep? Yeap ME! I’m not a social person so I serve the food, take a plate and lock myself into my den/computer room/library. Nope not a fan of holidays.
