BigRedBuster Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 OK...here is blatant proof of a poll that a majority of the respondents were women list of holidays by popularity. Only a woman would put Valentine's Day above St. Patrick's Day. 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm not sure Christmas even makes my top ten holidays. In order Thanksgiving (food and football) New Years (hangover, food and football) Independence Day (fireworks, booze and bbq) Easter (just food) St Patricks Day (corned beef and booze) Halloween (cute little kids and hopefully some booze) Valentines and Christmas are somewhere near the bottom, not favorites at all. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Christmas is right at the top for me with thanksgiving, New Years and Easter. St Patrick’s Day is in the group right after that with July 4th. Valentine’s Day wouldn’t even be in my list. Stupid day. Quote Link to comment

Christmas is easily my favorite. Love everything about it. Love the decorating, love the music (it'll be all I listen to until New Year's in about a week), love the lights, the weather. It's just the ultimate family experience for us. My wife, three kids, and I just love it. Christmas, and not really even from a religious standpoint, has always been a huge deal in my family since I was a kid. My top 5 would be: 1. Christmas (by far) 2. Halloween 3. Thanksgiving 4. Independence Day 5. Easter -Huge drop off between the top 3, and 4/5..... - MLK day? Fine holiday, but how the hell is that making anyone's top 5? Edited November 1, 2017 by B.B.

JJ Husker Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I like the family stuff, music etc. for Christmas but I don't like that it starts so darned early, the shopping, the decorating.......all the extra work and stress. Christmas eve and Christmas day are great. It's the 2 months of BS leading up to it that I can do without. That might be because my wife loses her mind over Christmas. Just yesterday she was talking about getting a 3rd tree to decorate. Christmas is definitely her favorite by far. Quote Link to comment

We'll decorate this weekend in our house Once Halloween is over it's Christmas season in our house! Quote Link to comment

I agree with the order of holidays completely. I have to grit my teeth to go into Menards with all the Christmas decorations they've had up for a month. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Men don't mess around with silly things like love. We do manly things like get wasted. Hell yeah, beer, right? Caring about romance is for the wimmenfolk. For me: A birthday Christmas New Year's Valentine's Thanksgiving Quote Link to comment

When my children were small, my ex and I would do all the decorating the weekend after Thanksgiving. My current wife and I do don't much in terms of decorating. We put up a christmas tree for my great-grandkids. Last year we bought the star showers thing. My least favorite part is having to rearrange my living room Quote Link to comment
