1. Christmas - I just love everything about this time of year
2. My birthday - Ok so it isn't a holiday but it should be, plus hunting season opens around it.
3. Thanksgiving.

1. My birthday. I don't know why, call me narcissistic, but I love it.
2. Thanksgiving, so much food, so much time off work, so many sales...
3. I want to say Christmas because I love the actual holiday, plus all the stuff around it, music, lights, movies, being around non-dramatic family, church services, snow when I lived in a place that it was possible, etc. But, I hate crowded malls, I hate family drama (and Christmas seems to be the showcase annually for all family drama) and every year I've lived here I've been disappointed by 75 degree Christmas day. But the pros heavily outweigh the cons so it still ranks.
Honorable mention: 4th of July

There are other holidays besides CHRISTMAS??? 
No, really....
Christmas
Thanksgiving
My birthday, mainly because that's when I celebrate "New Year's Day" because it is a new year.....and I do a lot of reflecting on where I was last year and where I want to go this year, so it's pretty meaningful.

Christmas - for all the commercialism
New Year's Eve - I have no good reason, just puts me in a certain mood
Mardi Gras - because y'all ain't got it

One's where Mom cooks (Thanksgiving and Christmas). You can keep the rest of the overcommercialized stuff.

Christmas....I love Christmas, the entire season.
New Years - just the idea of a new year starting, and lots of football.
President's Day - we go to Hilton Head every year to mooch off of my folks.
I think I'm the only American who hates Thanksgiving.
