All my favorite holidays and seasons happen during that time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1131058 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 06:12:05 +0000 ElbieKay 1131058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never that into Halloween, especially as an adult. It is so hard to find a costume that isn't completely slutty unless you make it yourself, and I don't have much time for or interest in that.</p> <p>And I'm Jewish, so I don't really care about Christmas. We never celebrated it when I grew up. My husband likes Christmas though.</p> <p>I guess I like fall weather better than winter, but the Christmas/holiday season is nice since there is a lot going on.</p> <p>Eh. My favorite time of year is when I go on vacation. I'm less into holidays and am more about travel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130975 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 03:07:51 +0000 Ree723 1130975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas all the way! I really couldn't care less about Halloween, we don't really celebrate it here in Australia and I never found it that exciting.</p> <p>Now Christmas on the other hand, I LOVE everything about it! The decorations, the music, shopping, family time, the holiday spirit etc. The last couple of years it's been rough though as it's summer in Australia and I just can't get into it as much when it's hot and sunny outside. Nor am I able to embrace the Aussie tradition of going to the beach in the afternoon and having a barbecue. I miss my snow, twinkling lights, and turkey dinners, followed by everyone sitting in front of the fireplace as we all enjoy our tryptophan induced food comas and enjoy the magic of the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130939 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 01:20:25 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1130939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refuse to choose!!! Both are too wonderful in different ways. I am crazy for all holidays. My husband and I are working out the details now for our own family holiday that we will be having the third Saturday of January. Love to celebrate!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130874 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 23:39:19 +0000 Grace 1130874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas for sure. I love Christmas mass and family dinners and dressing up and presents and cookies and how everyone seems nicer (unless they are suffering from present shopping stress). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130870 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 23:29:11 +0000 Kimberlybee 1130870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas!

I love the transition to fall and seeing pumpkins everywhere. Then throw in cute costumes and lots of candy, and it's a winner in my book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130819 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 22:33:30 +0000 .twist. 1130819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Halloweeeeeen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130793 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 22:18:31 +0000 NavyRN2012 1130793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas!

We don't in our home though, or participate in the corporate celebrations/substitutions. We've actually started learning about celebrating &amp; upholding the biblical feasts! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130155 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:25:10 +0000 deerylou 1130155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Does your church not celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ? I know there's some debate about his actual birthday being in the summer (or so I've read), but I know growing up in the Catholic church, Christmas was a celebration of Jesus. I'm curious about how other Christian demoninations treat the holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130149 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:20:58 +0000 LovelyPlum 1130149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanksgiving!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130144 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:19:20 +0000 MsMamaBear 1130144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas, Halloween is fun, but not even in the same league! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1130139 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:17:05 +0000 dagret 1130139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: glad someone else feels the same way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1129905 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 18:10:45 +0000 Mae 1129905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man that is really hard! I love them both, although more for the season/traditions than the actual day. Right now I think I'd say I love Halloween more because all of our traditions are pretty private to my dh and I, and don't require any traveling or spending a lot of money. I still love Christmas but I don't care much about getting gifts and all the running around to our families makes it sort of stressful for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more/page/2#post-1129892 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 18:07:11 +0000 sunny 1129892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas for sure! Though it is also 1000x more stressful since we have to pick a side of the family to celebrate with since we can't celebrate with both at the same time. Someone always feels left out :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more#post-1129876 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 18:03:17 +0000 shopaholic 1129876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Halloween because it's no stress, just fun if you want to do anything. Christmas ideally would be nicer, but our families aren't your typical holiday movie, it's more chaos and buffets with crowds of people... Maybe now with a LO, it will be more special as we create our own traditions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more#post-1129863 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:59:59 +0000 mrsbookworm 1129863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas because it lasts longer. You get to decorate, listen to music, drive around looking at lights, visit with family, eat cookies, etc. I like Halloween, but it's more of a one day thing for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more#post-1129829 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:49:14 +0000 wonderstruck 1129829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: This is pretty much exactly how I feel about it, worded more concisely and simple than I could ever manage, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more#post-1129620 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 16:10:46 +0000 Mrsbells 1129620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither really. I only like christmas because I get days off and get to spend time with family but the whole buying presents, santa claus and xmas tree really confuses me. I dont understand the point of it, or how its related to the birth of christ, Also since Jesus was really born on december 25th is just a bit of a confusing time for christian kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-or-christmas-which-do-you-like-more#post-1129617 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 16:09:11 +0000 erinpye 1129617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christmas!!! The family get-togethers, Christmas lights, music, trees, special ornaments, wreaths, stockings, fires in fireplaces, baking, cider, cocoa, possibility of snow, snuggling under blankets, warm sweaters, Christmas PJs, and of course for our family the religious celebration behind it, are all so wonderful and cozy. I will say, as a kid of divorce, I used to hate it because it meant spending Christmas in the car, shuffling from house to house, eating multiple dinners so as not to offend anyone. DH is also from divorce and had the same experience, so we decided our kids wouldn't participate in the "shuffle" and grandparents could come to us and get along. Now that DH and I have our own family and have set firm boundaries that Christmas means staying put and enjoying the day- it's the best! </p>
