okay, for all-time favorite single holi-day. it was a christmas and we were at our cabin at donner lake.
an elderly couple from germany had a cabin up on the hill. they invited several families up for christmas eve. the older kids and grown-ups skied and tobagonned (sp?) by candlelight down the hill. there was a lot of great european chocolate candy and warm drinks. when we got tired, they put us to bed in fluffy feather beds. they had a pipe organ, which played music over the lit hills. it was totally magical and my sister and i still talk about it more than 40 years later.
i felt so like laura ingalls wilder all snugged up in a feather bed and hearing the adults still celebrating downstairs...
i think i was maybe 10 at the time.

When we lived in England, I remember Guy Fawkes Day with the bonfire. Now that was a fun holiday!

Is Guy Fawkes celebrated in Canada??

Thanksgiving - the one time a year when you can eat all you want and nobody cares.

Christmas

Fourth of July

My favorite holiday is Yom Kippur. I love the asceticism, the Kol Nidre service, the shofar, and the fellowship in breaking the fast.

I like Washington's birthday...I think it has something to do with cherry pie.

Halloween, it's fun to be able to paint your face for the day and nobody cares.

Christmas and Thanksgiving are very lonely.

Christmas was definitely my favorite, and might still be, but Thanksgiving has really moved up in the ranks. Maybe it's because I eat more than I did when I was a kid.

Valentine's Day is a favorite of mine too...although it definitely didn't use to be. But it is now, partly because my hubby asked me to marry him on a Valentine's Day when it snowed. It was beautiful.

I like Mother's Day because it is always the same weekend as the Albany Tulip Festival. Mom and I spend the day in the park. I am also a fan of equinoxes and solstices.

I like Thanksgiving too. No expection of gifts or cards, just gathering together with loved ones to eat good food. I like it best when I spend the day in my own home, but don't mind going to relatives for it either. If I go out then I usually have a mini-Thanksgiving dinner at home that weekend. Gotta have those left-over turkey and cranberry sandwiches. My father would always open up our home on Thanksgiving to co-workers and friends who might not have family to celebrate with. There has always been room for one more at our Thanksgiving table.
