I don't know why I thought it was necessary to do this, but I did.
Easter wouldn't even be on my list. Oh, sweet, a Sunday holiday where I have to go to work the following day AND I get to spend 2 hours in church separating my insane cousins who are trying to stab each other with their cross pendants (yes, this happened last year)?
Haha, Easter was just never a fun holiday. Part of my family is very, very religious so when I was little it wasn't Easter baskets and chocolate, it was "JESUS DIED FOR YOU NOW WE PRAY!"
Then my mom and dad (who go to church every week and are people of faith) realized that terrifying me into being Christian might not take.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

See there's the problem. My parents were the exact opposite. It wasn't anything force fed, just hey you do realize there's a purpose to all this right? I've loved my parents for taking that kind of approach...and for giving me reese's eggs.

That's how my parents were, which is good because if they hadn't told my extended family to back off I would probably hate religion altogether.
My dad did institute the egg hunt with $ in the eggs, but I was forced to share my findings with my brother who always ended up finding the 5 eggs with 10 pennies in them and nothing else.

I don't know why I thought it was necessary to do this, but I did.
As a government employee, Columbus Day is easily top 10, maybe top 5. Every year I forget we have a day off coming until maybe three day's beforehand and it almost always falls on a beautiful fall day.
Also 4th of July should get bumped to 4th (no joke intended).
Groundhog's Day also deserves mention for both absurdity and availability of Bill Murray on cable.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

As a fellow government employee, I agree with your sentiments about Columbus Day. Also, I'm always a little sad to see President's Day come because it signals the end of the holiday-heavy time between the end of October and the first part of the year.
Oh Flanz beating the younger sibling in the Easter egg hunt is a global tradition.
The holiday power rankings are completely subjective. Let's be honest, the days off due to work/school ends up being the deciding factor between most of them.

Dave and I had our first real date on Valentine's Day 13 years ago. We were both single and biter so we agreed on a FUCK VALENTINE'S DAY date since it fell on the weekend (his day off) and a day I refused work waiting tables. Everything that could have went wrong did and we still had a great time We have pretty much continued the FVD each year. I spent 1/2 of my life single and always the girl who never had anyone and then once I did it didn't make sense to pay 4x as much for flowers on a specific day or feel like you HAD to find the right gift. This is why I hate all gift giving holidays. I'd much rather just buy a gift for someone when something they totally would LOVE catches my eye.
1. Halloween 2. Easter 3. New Years Eve 4. St Patty's Day 5. Independence Day 6. ALL the other holidays you get a day off for (dislike the rest of these) 7. My Birthday 8. Valentine's Day 9. Thanksgiving 10.Christmas

Well he was suppose to pick me up at a specific time but he never showed. He had no way to contact me and tell me that he had a flat tire. He finally showed up with grease all over him and his clothes. I spilled blue finger nail polish on my jeans and if I remember correctly couldn't find my purple manic panic to touch up my hair. Once he finally got there and cleaned up we made our way to Chili's because our reservations somewhere else had long lapsed. We waited over an hour for a tiny table and ate salsa and chips for the other hour it took to make our food. He drove his POS car and we had to stop and put oil in it twice on the way home <3 There's no sex in this story, sorry to disappoint.

Please explain your rankings 9 and 10.
Thanksgiving is a holiday where we are rushed to make sure and be at everyone's house. That means packing up the kids and going to my parent's house, Chris' bio-Dad, Chris' step-Dad, and my Brother's house. My brother is always messed up on some type of drug and we have to watch our kids like hawks since Chris' bio-Dad leaves guns,, loaded, randomly around the house. IF we cook here that means cleaning the house from top to bottom, cooking for at least 14 hours, spending tons of money on food, a huge mess to clean up, and people never leaving as quickly as I would like. Way to much stress for me!
Christmas is a holiday just like Thanksgiving. The same running around except now my kids are screaming because they want to be at home playing with the toys. I feel like I have to find the perfect gift for everyone including the kids. I don't want them to have too many gifts but yet I want them to feel like it's a special day. I am nervous about people buying me things because I'm not good at lying with my facial expressions or voice and since I don't buy gifts for adults, I usually don't have one to give them. We spend way too much money and I feel like it's a burden.
20 yrs ago today, I married Logan's dad in a Valentine's day shotgun wedding. I was 16 and thought Valentine's day would make it more romantic or something. I hated Valentine's day for years.
Doesn't bother me now, and I'm tres excited to be driving down to spend the weekend with my Valentine. But I caution anyone from ever getting married on a holiday.
Forgive me if this was already asked in here, I haven't read the last two pages.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Aw man but Thanksgiving is amazing for the food alone. And Christmas is great because of getting together with family I rarely see. I put those two, Halloween (definite number 1), July 4, and Memorial Day in my top 5
I think Thanksgiving food is quite horrible. I usually sustain on wine and cosmos with some apps the then mash and gravy for dinner. I like Christmas for the month before the actual holiday- the excitement in the air, the decorations, the music (which I never tire of), buying presents... just love it. Then on Christmas day... crash and burn, it's all over

Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Christmas music is the WORST! Especially now that you start hearing it the day after Halloween.

Who is this Chris you speak of? Dave is going to be soooo jealous.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
