    What is your favorite religious holiday? You don't actually have to be a member of that religion.

    Mine is the pagan holiday Samhain, or halloween. I like the mythology behind it.

    Christmas. I'm not Christmas or that into it (or it's commerciality), but I have good memories of it, how people tend to be more generous around that time of year, and seeing family :grin:

    We have two religious holidays and one is disgusting. Actually not if you logically but logic/Islam/humans don't mix well so we have a holiday of slaughtering animals. :tantrum:

    Then let's say other is my favorite one. At least we eat lots of desserts on that one. :grin:

    Mostly all holidays are religious, if you look back to their history.

    That said, my favorite holiday is Halloween (obvious reasons, haha)

    ^Well sure, the very word "holiday" means "holy day" :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    My favorite is definitely Christmas. I love the Christmas season as well, the whole month before. I can get pretty corny and cliched when it comes to Christmas things :grin:

    Halloween. I love dressing up, and no one can make fun of me, cause they don't know who I am. and if they do know, They can't say anything cause my costume is probably better than theirs. :badgrin:

    All of them have their downsides, so... i guess, the one that has the least of them?! At this moment in time i can't really tell, which one that would be.

    Cliche as it is, probably Christmas time as I really enjoy the mood of it.... well, except for the excessively commercial aspects...

    Haven't heard of this, but know next to nothing about paganism. But given I dislike what Halloween is these days, would be surprised if I didn't like it more... What is behind the holiday and how did you learn of it

    Samhain is one of my favorites also. I also love the festivities at Christmas time.

    I'm not religious, but I prefer Christmas.

    That being said, I hate the cold.

    Christmas is the only one I care about because of gifts (I love making people happy by spending my money on them) and family get togethers.

    For me it would be Easter and Christmas cause it means bonding and spending time with my family.
