AMERICANS: Which holiday do you prefer?

Postby QWERTY » Fri Mar 29, 2013 2:46 pm

From my obviously completely skewed view of America I'm kinda under the impression that you're more keen on Thanksgiving than Christmas. Am I correct? If so, why? Is it the whole America! Fuck yeah! thing or what? I'm generally curious.

New Year's is the only holiday reasonably worth celebrating. Every other holiday is either a religious one where everyone only pretends to give a fuck, or one created for nationalistic propaganda. And virtually all of them are historically inaccurate.

Christmas all the way. Then my birthday, but then again, that's a reminder that I'm one year closer to death.

Thanksgiving might be more popular for adults because its an excuse to eat as much as physically possible. Americans love to eat until they blackout.

Halloween because you can use real corpse and body parts in the front yard as decor and no one would notice.

I'm pretty sure nobody likes Thanksgiving more than Christmas. They might say they do but they're lying.

I prefer Christmas over Thanksgiving. I think people like the day after thanksgiving, because that's when they get Black Friday. I think People in the States generally like Christmas more.

I don't celebrate any holidays, but I agree with Ryudo. Halloween has a pretty fun atmosphere. Especially at 3am and in a graveyard.

You mean one year closer to freedom.

Not sure I have a favorite holiday, they are all rather dull, and come at the same time every year, I am a fan of surprises, so they are a bit predictable, repetitive and boring at this point. Sometimes I am in the holiday mood, but rarely.
