    my favourite holiday is Muslim Festival of Sacrifices ,dont get it wrong it’s a festival we eat meat and some traditional food and it at least takes 4 or 5 days so i can have a chance to visit my hometown and to see my grandparents,having a great view of seaside while i’m eating special foods made for festival .and also in this festival we have a chance to help poor people by sharing our meats .we help them to improve their health condition and also we visit graveyards to remember we can die anytime so we must be good people because dying with sins is not a good thing for whom wants to go heaven you know 🙂
    and we can go anyone’s house in this festival period to want sweets,chocolates!! so i love this holiday ,it’s very good for our personal improvement!!

    Because I don’t celebrate it, I can’t say Christmas. From when I come from, It’s definitely Ied. I can meet all my family and friends (because they all come back to my hometown), there are many special foods too (too many cookies to mention and all fat-induced food), and when I can still get my angpao (pocket money), I will make it the topmost at the list.

  163. Hi!! Hmm.. I wanna try my luck! ^^ ..
    My favorite holiday, is Christmas Day..
    It serves as Family Day.. In my case, as Pinoy’s culture, REUNION!! .. My mother has 6 siblings.. So imagine all of them with their own families, gathering together for Noche Buena.. ^    ^

  164. My fave holiday is the august bank holiday in the UK, especially if its sunny. then we can relax in the garden whilst my hubby cooks a lovely bbq.
    Thank you

  165. First of all,I wanna greet you.HI!! I’m a girl from Malaysia.=)
    My favorite holiday is school holiday..School students in Malaysia get the school holidays which are in Mac,June and the long school holiday,starting from November untill early of January.I love school holiday because it is the most appropriate time for me to gather with my family members,I’ve lived in hostel since I was 13years old then I entered a boarding school when I was 16 years old.Life in hostel was quite difficult sometimes especially when I was in the boarding school.As for my family,we only got to eat all together and went for a vacation when it was school holiday.Now I am 19 years old and I only have my semester vacation.I really miss my precious moments during school holidays because it’s difficult for my family to be all together since my father and my sister are busy with their work.
    Lastly,I wish you can spending your times with your children as much as you can while they are growing up.=)
