| milktree | posted 4-Feb-1999 11:44am It's not the same day every year. |
| eris | posted 4-Feb-1999 12:03pm I am assuming the author intends this as "enjoy most because of the day it happens to be" as opposed to simply enjoying one day or another for what happens in it (mileage may vary). |
| Wicksy | posted 4-Feb-1999 12:20pm eris : I really can't understand what you mean! Enjoying a day because of the day it happens to be is the same in my book as enjoying a day for what happens in it. I am talking about which one you enjoy most. Think about 1998 for example, think about all the years you've been alive, which of these do you enjoy most !!!!!!!!! |
| hunter | posted 4-Feb-1999 12:36pm Wicksy, you seem to have this bee in your bonnet about "most," "best," "favorite" things. Some of us take joy in everyday things, pleasure in the mundane activities of our lives, and enjoy many, many things superlatively. Every time you ask one of these questions, I think "it depends." I have had marvelous times and horrible times on each of these days and I could not begin to choose one, nor would I want to do so, since that seems a) limiting and b) contributing to the process of building up expectations to be disappointed. I don't want you to feel that I just won't play...this isn't how I think. |
| jonathan | posted 4-Feb-1999 12:46pm It varies from year to year. |
| romkey | posted 4-Feb-1999 12:51pm probably thanksgiving best because of the dinner with friends, although we tend to do that over christmas, too and get to spend even more time with them then |
| bill | posted 4-Feb-1999 1:01pm Holidays tend to be a little stressful for me (or at least I associate stress with them), thus I wouldn't pick a holiday. I prefer days I spend with just my wife, even if we're just hanging around the house. I'm very relaxed then. |
| Mimi | posted 4-Feb-1999 1:30pm This is too sappy, but any day I'm with my husband is the one I enjoy the most. |
| Jody | posted 4-Feb-1999 1:36pm I had to think really hard because the quality of holidays for me depends on how many of my family I can see, how they're doing, and how I'm doing. But I imagine you mean that if the most wonderful and perfect of each of these days were compared, which would win...and it was my birthday. |
| jjg | posted 4-Feb-1999 1:41pm I'm glad you made this multiple choice. My favourite day of the year would be my daughter's birthday which is also my birthday. |
| reality | posted 4-Feb-1999 1:43pm Groundhog day!!!! seriously.. any day when I can do absolutely nothing without worries and be a hermit in my room is a very good day for me.. I always make sure to have vacation around groundhog day.. so that is a good a day as any. |
| gilly | posted 4-Feb-1999 1:53pm My birthday. I love having one day a year that's my very own holiday. (Actually, two, if you count my Hebrew birthday as well.) |
| hunter | posted 4-Feb-1999 2:11pm Please explain how Hebrew birthdays are different, gilly. |
| gilly | posted 4-Feb-1999 2:20pm There's a Jewish lunar calendar that doesn't match up to the English one. I was born on Tishrei 21 (which also happens to be a minor holiday called Hoshana Rabah.) This year that turns out to be October 1; next year it's October 20. |
| bill | posted 4-Feb-1999 2:40pm Satanists have their own birthday as their most important holiday. |
| steve | posted 4-Feb-1999 3:07pm I checked the last answer, even though it's not strictly true, because I'm so pleased that it's there. In fact, my answer was Christmas Day, because I always get to spend the day with Tom and we exchange presents and eat good food. Thanksgiving has no presents, and I don't always get to spend my birthday with Tom. |
| dpolicar | posted 4-Feb-1999 4:26pm No particular day. |
| eris | posted 4-Feb-1999 5:14pm Wicksy: The choices offered are particular calendar days that have traditional activities associated with them (for many people, myself included). Of these, Christmas wins hands down - I always spend it with my family (various branches) and it has powerful significance for me. This was what I thought you meant by the survey, and how I answered it. But in terms of simple personal enjoyment, while I do enjoy the activities I do on most of these days, I also have other days in the year that I enjoy greatly because of whatever I happen to do on them, for example going to an especially good play or concert, on an outdoor adventure trip (whitewater rafting!) or to a weekend convention (pleasure, not business). These days are not fixed on a particular date, but depend on the particular events that might happen - that was what I meant by my other option. |
| seth | posted 4-Feb-1999 10:26pm I enjoy most weekends more than holidays. My friends are often busy during holidays. |
| jettles | posted 5-Feb-1999 10:48am too hard to answer from year to year, i really do enjoy each moment to the best of my ability. so each day is great but to judge one day for the whole year is hard! |
| Resy | posted 5-Feb-1999 2:51pm I like two days ... the day when I walk outside and realize that it's Spring; likewise, the day when I walk outside and realize that it's Fall. yum, I take a deep breath and just absorb it all. |
| drdt | posted 7-Feb-1999 1:55pm The first day of fall. Not, like, September 22 (or whatever), but the first day you can go outside and the air is cool and the ground is dry and the trees are all starting to turn and you look around and say 'Oh, yeah, this is fall.' It just feels so clean and fresh and invigorating. I really like the 'first day' of the other seasons as well - Spring and Winter tied for second place - but fall is the best. |
| drdt | posted 7-Feb-1999 1:58pm Wicksey: I really, really enjoyed January 3 this year because I started a new job that day and everything was exciting and new. So that is my favorite day of 1999 (so far). But there is nothing special about January 3 as a date (to me). |
| jefff | posted 7-Feb-1999 7:50pm For the last decade or so, it's been the first Friday in May, from about 6pm on. |
| steve | posted 8-Feb-1999 2:52pm jefff: I think it's occasionally the last Friday in April. |
| bill | posted 8-Feb-1999 4:13pm fess up boys! |
| eris | posted 8-Feb-1999 5:39pm Wouldn't that be more like a decade and a half now? |
| jzp | posted 9-Feb-1999 3:40pm I barely notice what year it is, let alone anything unusual about it. |
| grmbrand | posted 10-Feb-1999 1:57pm Non-distinguished days in early October are my favorites |
| Handle | posted 13-Feb-1999 9:45am Today |
| supplicant | posted 21-Feb-1999 12:22pm You didn't include 'none of the above' Several of those are American/Christian and therefore meaningless to me (which is not the same as your bottom selection), and the remaining ones tend to mean boring family committments with people I don't like etc. |
| patty | posted 15-Mar-1999 4:22pm I like Thanksgiving because I enjoy cooking and being around my family |
| pandora | posted 5-Apr-1999 4:08pm Usually, the best day of the year is some non specific day, when awesome stuff just naturally occurs and I have a great time. |
| mandy | posted 8-Apr-1999 9:12pm HALLOWEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! |
| LindaH | posted 27-Jul-2008 8:23pm It varies. I don't have predetermined days I feel like I'll enjoy the most, every year. I enjoy any day that turns out fun. Holidays have nothing on random chance good days. |
