I Asked 13 Friends To Crown Halloween, Thanksgiving Or Christmas The King Of Holidays

Halloween just ended, and I'm already sad about it. Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. There are people who have already got their Christmas tree up and have completely forgotten about Halloween. Some people prefer Thanksgiving and the low key parts about it. All of the holiday talk got me to thinking about which of these holidays people thought was the best and why. Here are some answers I received.

The question: Which out of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas is your favorite and why?

1. "Halloween is my favorite because it changes every year. I dress up as something different every year, and it reflects my personality at that time in my life."

2. "Thanksgiving is my favorite because of all the food. Mashed potatoes are life."

3. "Halloween is my favorite because you aren't really expected to see family on Halloween, and my family and I don't get along very well."

4. "Christmas is my favorite because of the music. I start listening to Christmas music as soon as it hits Halloween." Lol

5. "Halloween is my favorite because it brings out everyone's goofy side. Most of the holidays you're expected to act serious and all that, and Halloween is for everyone to just be themselves. I love it."

6. "Christmas because of Hallmark movies. I'm a huge romantic, so they always make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside."

7. "Thanksgiving for sure because it just involves sitting on the couch and eating."

8. "Christmas is my favorite because everyone seems happier around Christmas time. I also love buying everyone presents!"

9. "Christmas is my favorite because I work in a soup kitchen downtown and everyone is so grateful!"

10. "Halloween is my favorite because I work at a mall and I have to work the other holidays and it's madness."

11. "Thanksgiving because I get to eat a lot and then my family and I go shopping together."

12. "It's hard to choose, but Halloween because I feel like it gets the least amount of attention."

13. Christmas because the new year is right around the corner and I love fresh starts!"

Christmas: 5

Halloween: 5

Thanksgiving: 3

Halloween and Christmas were tied, and Thanksgiving was left in the dust. Regardless of your favorite holiday, I hope your holidays are full of fun and what your favorite part of them is!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
