    I'm doing an experiment and want to know what your favorite holiday is?

    I've come to find most peoples favorite holiday is the one closest to their birthday and I want to know how often that proves to be true...

    Mine is Halloween and always has been since as long as I can remember (my birthday is October 28th) =D

    I didn't even read the actual post before I voted.  I voted for St. Patrick's Day because I think it's fun and my birthday is March 18.  So I guess I proved you right. Smile

    I am very much in love with fourth of July. I love the fireworks and the wonderful celebration, and I adore summer...so its pretty much perfect for me!

    But christmas is my favorite "normal" holiday.

    Thanksgiving. I like that it is really a time to be with family and reflect rather than being just about gifts.

    My birthday is in April. I was actually born on Easter Sunday.

    I don't really like the Holidays.  But I chose Easter because there is not a lot of pressure, it is the best time of the year (in Wisconsin) and spring it always seems full of... promise (? for lack of a less corny word).  It just makes my think of candy and spending a nice dinner/time together.  And I LOVE cadbury eggs.

    Its a tie between Halloween and Christmas. Halloween because its so much fun and I love making costumes, Christmas because of all the time I get to spend with my family.. and cookies!

     

    My birthday is December 28th.

    My favorites are all fairly close together like a few of yours... Halloween followed by Thanksgiving and then New Years. Mainly because of parties and friends... and FOOD hehehe. I don't celebrate any of the other holidays (Christmas a tiny bit for my son but I could skip over that one without a second thought)- my son loves Christmas (his birthday is in December) and my FI loves NYE and his birthday is January 5th lol

    Minutiae    May 2011  

    New Year's and Easter are my top two. I just love New Year's, and Easter is what it's all about! I find Easter much more joyous and special than Christmas...and not nearly as commercialized, haha. Easter is still sacred. It also involves lots of chocolate, which is an excellent bonus. It's also in spring, my favorite season! I tend to like the rebirth/starting new stuff. :D

    My birthday is May 11. Sometimes it falls on Mother's Day, which is stinky seeing as I'm not a mother and don't get double presents, just a skipped party. :(

    ETA: My fiance's birthday is March 4--best birth date ever, March forth!--and his favorite holiday is Halloween.

    Ever since I was little, I loved Christmas! Still do! I love New Years Eve too, and since we got married that day, I have a feeling it will be my new favorite!

    In the media    June 29, 2013   Indiana, but wedding in St. Louis

    Independence Day!! but then again my birthday is the day after. And I like fireworks.

     

    But you are neglecting Chahakuh, and Rosh Hashanha, Purim, Yom Kippur, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, the Chinese New Year, Passover. And different independence days for different countries. Heck you forgot Easter too (and I loooooove me some Cadbury Eggs). I also like Flag Day because it seems to be such a pointless holiday. :D

    Not being a pain, just saying.

    My birthday is in April, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Food and family and just relaxing at DH's aunt's cabin on the Cheaspeake Bay...le sigh. We even served Thanksgiving dinner at our wedding. 

    Fourth of July is a close second, especially since DH proposed that day. And I like New Year's Eve a lot...the metaphorically wiping the slate clean for a new year.
