I think I'm starting to like Thanksgiving more than Christmas.

Always being on Thursday, thus 4-day weekend every year is great

Gustav

Another huge bonus.

Friday is work day.

But sometimes Friday not work day

I always work on the Friday after thanksgiving, but it's always a pretty good day to be in the office.

There’s no question Thanksgiving is best holiday.

Man, you guys are doing Christmas wrong. I don't think it is stressful at all.

Its easy to get stressed when you go to bed at 2am and have to get up at 6 am

kolob32

11/21/17 9:55pm

I have an idea. Don’t go to bed at 2am. Don’t wake up at 6am.

You must not have kids.

kolob32

11/21/17 11:11pm

I’ve never not been with kids at Christmas. The rule is no one wakes up until about 8am.

Ashtrash

11/21/17 11:30pm

What other sage advice do you have for us losers?

pink22

11/21/17 11:32pm

I dunno. I’ll ask my mom. She’s the one who thought of that.

Ashtrash

11/21/17 11:32pm

Christmas is basically over by 8 am. That's when you start taking down the tree

Ulysses14

Come on Scrooge, you leave the tree up a few days past Christmas. Enjoy the day

Cougar TD

11/22/17 9:37am

We put our tree up this past Sunday so we're ahead of the curve

Ulysses14

11/22/17 11:07am

Yeah, that wouldn't fly with me. We always were up by 6, well we are up earlier

Cougar TD

11/22/17 9:36am

I do that and love it. I must be more of a kid at heart I guess.

Cougar TD

Nailed it. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The Christmas season can be fun,

Yeah, Christ’s birth is lame

Favorite holiday depends on which holiday i have to spend with the in laws.

IceCreamButt

11/21/17 9:48pm

That's a valid point.

eddog

Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve.

Holiday rankings 1. Thanksgiving 2. 4th of july 3. Christmas

kolob32

11/21/17 9:57pm

1. Thanksgiving, 2. Christmas. 3 is probably New Year's, because bowl games

fredgarvin

11/21/17 10:06pm

Yep!

ProvoSoprano

11/21/17 11:31pm

I think I stole that ranking from you but have now adopted it.

Actually I do too. I really just love the traditional thanksgiving foods

ByuImaginesDragons

11/21/17 10:09pm

I hate the expectation of presents on Christmas.

preneur

11/21/17 10:20pm

Also, don’t get me started on Santa...

preneur

11/21/17 11:15pm

Ugh. I’m with ya man. I like giving gifts but I’m so bad at it. I can never

Gerald-DeGroot

Keep a running list throughout the year and listen to what items they mention wanting

buffgato

11/22/17 5:06am

Good advice and I try to do this. Being Rich would make gift giving so much

Gerald-DeGroot

11/22/17 5:13am

Heh yeah...

buffgato

11/22/17 3:04pm

You're just getting old ...oh wait.

OldCosmo

11/21/17 10:33pm

You're doing Christmas wrong, we only hang with our immediate family

kotacoug

11/21/17 10:55pm

Take the gift-receiving out of Christmas and it becomes a much more fun holiday.

Thanksgiving is great - but the 4th of July is my favorite. We go to the beach!!

Holidays suck. Not a fan. Best day to see a movie, thanksgiving and Christmas

Post-college, this is certainly true for us also.

I’m starting to like Halloween the most because it’s the one holiday you don’t

Gerald-DeGroot

11/22/17 2:56am

Halloween has actually become the worst holiday. People have gone nuts with it

pink22

11/22/17 8:30am

Yeah I don’t really like it either. And I like being with my family (minus MIL)

Gerald-DeGroot

11/22/17 11:47am

Me to its my favorite Holiday.

kahuna

Football and Food. Can’t beat it.
