Halloween. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. (Suck it, Andy Williams, December is too cold.) And I like a holiday that has a dark side and embraces it.
I like Thanksgiving’s food but think a practice of being grateful just once a year is bad form.
Probably New Years as it’s the only one that there’s some excitement about no matter where one is in the world — even nations that have their own calendar celebrate it as a secondary new year. No use in getting too attached to single-country holidays if you’re a traveler, it just creates melancholy.
Also, because it’s not one of those roaming holidays that’s on a different date each year. Those are too hard to keep track of.
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
Thanksgiving. No gifting. Full bellies. And the world would be a much better place if we all took more time to feel gratitude.
