I don't celebrate either. One is an American tradition and the other is christian.

wrong. it started out as a pagan holiday.

So what? It's Christian now.

Yeah Halloween hasn't been christian for a while. Neither has Christmas.

Christmas is celebrating the birth of jesus. It's Christian. I used to partake but it's not something for me anymore.

Christmas, I love the winter weather, I love setting up the decorations, I genuinely like the music, and the is something about the spirit of giving to others that warms the heart.

I was never big on Halloween as a kid, and as a 20 something, it was just another excuse to get blind drunk, and I already had plenty of those.

As a parent now, Christmas has been absolutely magical sharing it with my kids, while Halloween has been a never ending source of frustration. My kids can't make up their mind on what costume they want, and have flat refused to wear their costumes on several occasions - we made my son an awesome robot costume and when having him try it on for the first time, the arm holes were a bit too small, and he would never try it on again after we fixed it. Last year, he went as a dinosaur, and had this awesome mask that roared when he opened his mouth. He wore it every day playing dinosaurs for a week before Halloween, but when it came time to trick or treat, something about wearing the mask in the dark scared the hell out of him and I wound up carrying a crying toddler all night while his younger sister in her princess dress was having a great time.

Christmas, without question.

“I’m working… my ass off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a fuck about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?”

I like Christmas. not for the holiday itself, I just love the lights and decorations.

[trapmaster]

Halloween hands down, colorful of leaves from trees falling down, trick and treating, all series of horror movies to watch thru, pumpkin spices and costumes so much to list...

Meanwhile Christmas is about spending time with your family, friends, or whoever. Also, So much money to spent on and very very i mean very very stressful time to deal with works and stuff.

I hate Christmas. It is everything that is wrong with our culture but wrapped in a pretty bow to make us feel better.

I like stat holiday pay. That part is cool.

Halloween is just more fun because it doesn’t wear out its welcome.

That being said,
The internet has ruined Halloween with its “spooktober” meme bullshit.

American holiday? Fourth of July -- break out the grill or the smoker!

European? The roughly harvest related celebrations such as the Cannstatter Volksfest.

Yes, you have detected a pattern ... beer, food, and friends.

I am a sucker for Christmas. The movies, TV specials, commercials, and memories from the past always do me right. I also get a good chunk of time off then which is great.

I don't celebrate halloween at all, Christmas if family is available I tend to spend it with them and I get time off of work. Personally Thanksgiving has always been the biggest holiday for me.

Christmas is a special holiday for me. Where the whole family is at the table, where it smells like cinnamon and turkey.
