What is your least favourite holiday?

[LSUmiss]

I don’t like New Years’ day. So blah & boring. We always have to go to MIL’s house & eat awful food b/c it’s “tradition”.

I hate Christmas with a flaming passion. It’s like the worst of instagram for holidays. Its just anxiety and obligation.

I don't consider Valentine's Day a holiday since there is no associated day off but it is annoying all the same. As to work holidays, I would go with New Year's Day. Celebrating the arbitrary passage of time is one thing. Associating a date on a calendar with hope for life changes and better things to come is simply asinine.

My least favorite. Drunko De Gringo.
5th of May.

Halloween. I've never liked it. I like the cute princesses and Power Rangers but really dislike all the ugliness.

 

[RamblingMad]

Confederate Memorial Day. How is this still a thing? Just saying.

New Year's Eve. I can't stay up that late so it's really not too exciting. And the fire works wake my toddler.

Valentines day - I learned to hate it when I was working my way through college and witnessed the insanity of it all. People would wait, with sometimes first-ever dates, for up to 2 HOURS for a table in the restaurant I worked at. They would be understandably upset by the time they sat down. The date could not have ended well. Here's the crazy thing; it was the exact same restaurant with the exact same food on 2/13 and 2/15. There was no wait whatsoever on those days. Been married 23 years now, dated 5 years prior to that, and my wife knows I do not celebrate Valentines day. If she wants to do something special the day or the week before or after I am all about that though.

I hate going out to eat on holidays too. The food is overpriced and often subpar. Our family’s Valentine’s tradition is to make breakfast for dinner. We have special melamine dishes I got at a Target clearance sale and we have fun making a meal together.

Our family has a special New Year’s tradition. Instead of a resolution, we write on a piece of paper something we wish to leave behind in the previous year and we symbolically burn it.

I can’t say I celebrate every holiday out there, but overall my least favorite ones were those you didn’t get off work for!

Thanksgiving......too much work

This reminds me of a couple we met in the hot tub at Disney's HHI resort one Thanksgiving. She hated Thanksgiving. All the relatives came to her house and ate her food-not ONE person offered to help or bring things...that is, until the year we met them. They announced several months in advance that they were going away for the holiday. Yup, everyone was upset, "What are we going to do?" "Where are we going to go?" but the couple stood their ground. So, like us, they go to DHHIR every year, eat a precooked meal, wear jeans and either sit in the hot tub, or stay in their villa watching football (or something).

4th of July

One of our dogs is very sensitive to the fireworks noise, and she cowers in between my legs and pants like crazy.

New Year's. The Holiday season is over, and I find it depressing

 

[disneychrista]

I'm not big into any holiday. But yes Valentine's Day is the WORST! I mean what other holiday makes singles feel so crappy?

 

[Diznygrl]

The only holiday I hate, if it's even considered a holiday, is April Fool's Day. I hate pranks, and now not only do you have to deal with it in real life, but all day on the internet you have to dodge your way through prank news articles and other nonsense.

I don't dislike 4th of July, but it does make me nervous every year because I'm afraid of fires breaking out from all the stupid illegal fireworks my house gets surrounded by.

#1:

April Fool's Day. I HATE pranks.

I agree!! That has to be my least favorite.

#2:

New Year's Eve. I can't stay up that late so it's really not too exciting.

Same here. And besides that, I work on the academic calendar, where we all know September is really the start of a new year!

 

[Floridaman999]

I've never been much of a holiday person so any of them could rank as my least favorite.

 

[Mirielle]

I loathe Thanksgiving. To me, it's a "warm up" to Christmas dinner.

 

[Donaldswife]

Thanksgiving, that's why we are taking a cruise that week this year.

 

[Brett Wyman]

Man you guys are a sad lot. I love the fall and the trifecta of halloween/thanksgiving/christmas. And yes we host and cook everything and buy most of the gifts. Our kids are still very young so there is still a lot of joy in it all. Im sure as they get older that will fade though. I dread the thought of them being teenagers.

 

[NotUrsula]

The only good thing about Thanksgiving is college football -- and turkey. (I hate all of the other traditional foods, but I love turkey, so in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving I buy about 4 of them to cut up and freeze, and I cook one for the holiday itself, which we now eat with normal vegetables, instead of all those awful casseroles.)

We are the last of the family left in this area, and our parents are gone, so we no longer have to entertain or do duty visits, so we sleep in, stick a bird in the oven later, and hang out doing stuff around the house and watching movies or football.
