Go.

Thanksgiving...food, family, friends, frivolity, and football.  Perfect day

Thanksgiving is wonderful but Xmas is still the granddaddy of them all. The build up, everyone is in a good mood, presents, etc.

Christmas, hands down. The day so nice we should do it twice(in summer, so the Southern Hemisphere can have a white Christmas, too). To me, Thanksgiving is Christmas part 1 with turkey and football.

As a single day it’s much closer but I’d still take Christmas - when you factor in that for some (most?) Thanksgiving is just a one day thing but Christmas is multi-day then it becomes no contest.

The 3 days of Christmas

Christmas Eve - head up to the inlaws, church, followed by dirty Santa and other family games. Unwrap one present, always pajamas.

Christmas day - wake up, kids see what Santa brought. Wait for Uncles, aunts, and cousins to arrive before opening family gifts. Now with 16 of us, one at a time, this takes a while. Family games.

26th - head up to opryland hotel, walk, enjoy the decorations, blue coast burrito for a late lunch before heading back home. 

Every year it's the same thing and we love it..

Arbor Day is vastly underrated

My dad had a tradition of planting a tree in our yard every year. But then we had no yard left so he chopped them all down.

Thanksgiving day for me

4 day weekend 

No pressure or complication of gifts

Weather usually not as bad (NEast)

Holiday "spirit" underway. People start decorating/shopping for Xmas. Get to watch the animals on the news fight for a $135 TV.

No religious undertones. It's a holiday all in the US celebrate. 

Football, parade, food, friends and family

This for all these reasons exactly.

I like them all. It’s a tie for me after you take out NYE. I don’t consider that a holiday.

might explain why there are 16 of us.

For me the obvious loser is Thanksgiving, unless it's Friendsgiving. The food is ok, but it's too tradition bound.

NYE can be great, but it requires some party favors.
