Title: Thank'sgiving or Christmas?
Post by: Elizabethar on September 16, 2009, 09:36:13 pm
I would have to say Christmas, I love to get up early by the kids saying time to get up. I love how everyone gets together. Don't forget what Christmas really is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Christmas because of the weather, and all the beautiful lights and how the whole family gets together and has fun :) It's a warm feeling i just wish we had snow! that would be nice. Living in az, we don't get white Christmases

I enjoy both holidays:-) I love Thanksgiving as it my family gets together and we have an opportunity to express and gratitude and blessings to the family and to God. I love Christmas because my only brother comes home and gets to spend a few days with his two nephews and the family. I enjoy Christmas but I think that our society has made it overrated in terms of presenting gifts to our children and others. Due to the economy our family is doing hand made gifts this year!

My other favorite is Halloween because I get to dress up and go trick-or-treating with my youngest son:-)

Thanksgiving because of food and family.  I'm not a Christian and I think Xmas is way too commercialized anyway.

Christmas. I love to get gifts for people. THere's nothing like the feeling you get when you get someone the perfect gift. Thanksgiving is just over stuffing yourself with food lol. Definitely prefer Christmas.

I  have  lost my  taste  for  Christmas, because  every time  I go  shopping  in  December  I see  several  moms  dragging screaming  kids  around  as they  look for  gifts  they  feel obligated to buy. It gets  a  little depressing.

Yes, Christmas can be discouraging to some, and it's sad that some people have lost sight of what the JOY of Christmas should be about. Getting lost in the commercial aspect of any holiday can be frustrating. But I still love Christmas - I love to watch the excitement of the kids on Christmas Eve when they can't fall asleep, it's contagious  :)   and to hear them up in the morning talking in excited whispers as they look for their names on presents under the trees - it's just one of those moments that being a parent is a wonderful, magical thing.

Must I choose. I love both holidays. I love all the rush of the shopping, seeing people with their families and how busy the city does be.

Christmas is by far my favorite Everyone seems just a little bit more happy during december and i love the snow if were lucky enough to get  some snow on christmas it is even better. I also love the music and the decorations and all the lights. Thanksgiving is good cause the day after is black friday and the beginning of christmas

If it were up to me, both holidays would be cancelled. For those with no or estranged families, this is a very difficult time of year. This sounds like a Scrooge, but it is true that suicide rates are highest at this time of year. You are constantly reminded how important family is. How depressing when you have none.

That's too bad.  This is why I just treat both days as just another day.  No over blown expectations it's just another day.  I don't get caught up in the hype.
