  1. What holiday do you enjoy the most with all positivity and excitement? (Can be any holiday)

    probably Easter because chocolate 😀

  2. What is one unique way your hometown celebrates the holidays?

    my family actually spends the day by the pool on Christmas 😀 we have lunch, wait for it to settle, and then jump in the pool. Christmas is usually celebrated near the water (beach, pools, ect..) with quite a lot of families

  3. What one word best describes the holidays for you?

    Fun 😮

  4. Since there's only 4 days left until Christmas, what is that Christmas carol that gets stuck in your head the most?

    Tbh 😮 I dislike hearing Christmas carols and music until Christmas. Christmas is the only time I’ll ever tolerate it. And the coral would have to be jingle bells

  5. Finish the sentence: “It’s not Christmas without….”

    trifle or presents 😮

Thankyou for the tag @Sunisshiningandsoareyou , and a big Thankyou to @Clarisse29 and @lemonicecreamcake for the questions :)

What holiday do you enjoy the most with all positivity and excitement? (Can be any holiday) Autumnal equinox :), I'm always incredibly excited to know the season's changing and the world's getting quieter


What one word best describes the holidays for you? Cold ; I'd say so in all senses of the word, whether it's Christmas or other holidays it often feels the same. Christmas especially as it's physically cold and it's always a kind of bitter reminder how distant I am to some people :( but I really enjoy it


Since there's only 4 days left until Christmas, what is that Christmas carol that gets stuck in your head the most?Rocking around the Christmas tree 🌲 it's so catchy :)


Finish the sentence: “It’s not Christmas (or any holiday) without..... Individual traditions :) whether mass like a Christmas tree or Niche like eating a certain food on Christmas eve

…little multi-color lights in a big clear vase I have. The vase has etching on it so it makes the lights sort of twinkle. I don’t put up a tree but the vase with the lights in it is my sort of tree.

1) I enjoy Halloween the most! Even though I don’t celebrate it, seeing all of the costumes definitely brings positivity and excitement into autumn! 🍂

2) There is this annual community-wide Halloween party to just about everyone in my county attends, and I heard that it is a lot of fun! 🎉

3) Engagement 🫂

4) I don’t celebrate Christmas, and I have never heard any Christmas carols. However, I’m sure that they all sound wonderful! 🎶

5) Santa, the big jolly fellow! 🎅
