Poll of the Day > The food!

(+) Yeah! (+)

This PoTD sucks.
Whats your favorite part of this year?
And my choices are:

Getting time off. (Nope, Im a RN, people dont stop getting sick for the holidays, so no time off)

Presents. (Presents are fun but arent a necessity. And I certainly dont feel inclined to ask for them. Most my family is as broke as I am lol)

Spending time with family. (Dont get me wrong I love my family. And I see them all the time anyway. Those people that you only see and talk to once a year arent family, if they dont want to make an effort/ accept my attempts to be in each others life all year round, I dont want them in it at all)

The Weather. (for me this one is the most laughable. I live in the pacific north west, and here we have two seasons: Cold & Wet, and More Cold less Wet)

And the final option:
Nothing. I cant stand the holidays. (I am not a Scrooge. I have nothing against the holidays. In fact I quite enjoy them. Just not for the reasons above)

I like this time of year, for the Food!!!! My family always has big dinners on holidays, and it doesnt break the bank because everyone brings a dish that fits the theme, and a different household hosts each holiday so its not too much hassle for anyone.
And this time of year has the most holidays!

We have Thanksgiving!
Then Christmas!
Then New Years!
All with big dinners.

And smaller, but equally fun dinner parties for Xmas eve, and New Years Eve.

Thats 5 dinner parties total and 3 of them big, in the time span of a month and a half.
Its amazing

Im with Kirby. I never had a big dinner for New Years. Or New Years Eve. Drinking, or hanging out, yeah. Dinner parties, nope...

I choose getting time off. I love not having to be at work...

Also, I dont agree with tennnot being family because you dont see them often. But thats just me. I saw most of my family a few times a year when I was living at home. But now Im far away. Plus, lots of our family loves pretty far...
