What's your favorite time of year and season?

Early spring is my favorite. It's still nice and cool, without being cold, and the best rainstorms are in the spring. I like rainstorms, lightning and thunder (maybe I'm Jovian?). I live next to a dirt road, so the spring rains really help keep the dust levels down, despite the fact that people drive like drunken hicks... but that's what drunken hicks do.

My least favorite would be summer. Summer in the Texoma area is horrible. 100% humidity with triple-digit temperatures, muggy and miserable. I also live close to a man-made lake so the mosquitoes are awful in the evening, and they always flock towards me. Damn heat, damn humidity, and damn bugs. Stupid summer. >.<*

My favorite holiday is... Halloween. When else can you show up someplace covered in blood and not get a second glance? Or wear high heels and carry a chainsaw? The people at the Easter egg hunts always look at me funny when I do that. >.>

I used to love Halloween...then I got older and moved to a dead-end town. -_-; I can't trick or treat, becuase some crazy old lady will probably point a shotgun at me, and I don't even get the joy of handing out candy, becuase kids simply don't trick or treat anymore. It's become too dangerous. I LOVE to dress up and pretend to be someone else, so I miss the fun of Halloween. Now I rely on get-togethers and parties with friends to have fun at this time of year.

My favorite season is Summer. I love hot weather, and it makes me want to go out more.I also like rain, because it is very relaxing to me, and rest assured it rains pretty much every afternoon in the summer down here. I also hate wearing so much clothing, which is a reason why I hate Winter. It is just too cold for me. I can take the infinite mosquitoes and the risk of West Nile Virus just to be warm and comfortable. (No, I don't like Summer just because I live in Louisiana, either.)

My favorite time of the year is also Halloween. I like candy and I like a day where I can dress the way I wouldn't be able to the rest of the year.

My favorite is Winter. I love it when it's really cold, because all I have to do is snuggle up in my blanket and drink some hot chocolate.

I forgot to mention my favorite time of year! It would have to be Christmas because of the time I get to spend with family and friends. Presents are nice, but it's overrated. Christmas isn't a time to go max out your credit card, buying presents. That's just stupid. If you want to give back to the world, volunteer at the homeless shelter or adopt a child in one of those third world countries through the Christian Fund of Canada or something. That's what Christmas is all about.

I enjoy spring. I hate winter, too damn annoying. I also like Christmas. What a great day. Too bad when you are my age it isn't as exciting as it once was.

I used to adore christmas when i was young and some people probably still love it now. I think i stopped being enthusiastic about christmas time when I was around 12 or 13 which alot of other people have done as well. I miss that sort of excitment

I actually like Xmas more now that I can give presents as well as get them. There's a nice satisfaction in finding the exact right gift for a person, especially if it's a surprise. Someone mentions something they'd really like around April, and then in December you surprise them with it. I wish, though, that it wasn't required to give a gift to every family member just to fill the list, because what happens is for some people I'll get them a gift certificate and they'll get me one, which is nothing. I wish I could just give gifts I really want to give.

Also, while little kids get many more presents, older people get more expensive ones, which is better, IMO.

What's annoying about christmas is the cost of all the presents you give to your family members, but you feel good about it since they give out presents/gifts back to you to show their appreciation and respect you for what you have done.It's not only about yourself it's also about others you care for.

That's true. Except for me, at my age I already have just about everything I need from the past Christmas' so I usually just ask for clothes now. I don't mind clothes but there was a time where I could make a long list of what I wanted and now I can maybe list 4 things then I am stumped.
