What is your favorite holiday?

[faroukfarouk]

Halloween. While not an 'official holiday,' I enjoy it because it kicks off the fall season...which is my favorite season of all.

I certainly like the fall colors around the end of October. Not so keen on some of the Halloween stuff, although I like the idea of pumpkin carving competitions; I saw a video of one.

My wife loves pumpkin flavored muffins.

Yes, I quite like the taste as well; my wife especially loves them!

FYI, this was the video about carving pumpkins:

My favourite holiday is Christmas closely followed by Easter. I prefer Christmas as it's in the winter and I love the cold (although it has snowed at Easter in the UK before)

I really like the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King's College Cambridge, England on Christmas Eve:

We put a whole new twist in our church on Halloween. On that night, the church families do a Harvest Dinner where more than 120 people show up. We take up a collection and all the money goes to some worthy cause, last year all the money went to our Youth Ministry.

Interesting; I guess some churches would also have pumpkin suppers.

When you think about what gets harvested at the end of summer and into the fall, you will find all the fresh veggies and some fruits as well as ham and turkey. So you will find blueberries, pumpkin, corn, potato, tomatoes, and the list just goes on and on and on.

My problem with the idea of a harvest festival is that Cain's offering (the fruit of his labors on the land) was rejected, while Abel's was accepted.

But I do like the Fall as a season. And my wife does find pumpkins tasty; I do as well, to some extent.

My favorite holidays are Christmas and Thanksgiving. And I do like fall as well.

New Year's eve

 

[beaverpond]

This is a year where I can honestly say that I am so looking forward to New Years as I can say that is another year behind us and here is to better times ahead.

This has been a rough year for my Mom with two heart attacks, one surgery, my father-in-law having a heart attack, my daughter being in and out of the hospital for the first four months of the year for a colon related issue. Having somebody do a hit and run on my truck costing several thousand dollars worth of damage and finding out exactly what insurance won't cover and having to learn that one the hard way and now updating it so to prevent such problems in the future.

I can say this, thank you Lord for all the youth programs I am involved with because they have provided a steady distraction from all of life's problems this year.
