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

In This Article:

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!

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
