Even though my favorite seasons are fall and winter, my least favorite holidays are halloween, and Christmas.

Each halloween, I can never decide what to be, and my Mother, who is a total stick-in-the-mud/ party pooper, is almost always guarenteed to frown upon a costume I wear in public, and she’ll bring it up for years. So, I basically hate halloween. Besides that, some of the “decorations” that go out around halloween at the mall or whatever really freak me out. The only thing I like about Halloween is making Jack-O-Lanterns. I really like that… and it doesn’t bother my mom.

I hate how on Christmas my family, which I generally dislike, suddenly feels the need to pull together simply for the sake of the holiday. Christmas has to be the worst holiday of the year besides Valentines day, only because I HATE feeling PRESSURED to spend my hard-earned cash on everyone but me… And then when my family members get what I bought them, they never use it anyway. I’d hate to seem like an Ebineezer Scrooge, but I truly dislike the consumerism surrounding Christmas. I don’t even like getting gifts, because the gifts I would expect usually aren’t going to be that elaborate anyway. It’s not like my graceious parents would buy me a car… Besides that, half the stuf I actually DO get, would be something completely random that I didn’t even want. I seriously don’t want to spend more than $25 this Christmas.

Oddly enough, my favorite holiday has always been Easter, but I’m thinking about changing that to something else… Maybe this year I’ll find a holiday I like better. The problem is, like so many things, each holiday has good things and bad things. I wonder what my favorite holiday really is.
