I pretty much celebrate most anything if invited. Primarily Christmas, happy new year.

 

Oh and it's spelled "Chaunikka" wrong! :¬:

...Well, not that I'm uptight about it. Have celebrated this with the jewish part of my family.

 

Yoda just because it's there.

 

I used to celebrate antichrist-mas. That was a long time ago.

 

Winter Solstice is one I celebrate beause it is universally recognized and it is in this common sharing that I believe the human race can finally unite. If nothing else I like to think of the beginning of every season and solstice as a celebration.

 

I have never celebrated an Islamic holiday nor do I know any. Though I do have one persian friend, an old man who immigrated here to USA decades ago for his freedom to see his ailing mother enjoy them for herself. I don't remember what he said exactly but the English translation of a prayer on his wall was something to the order of "Under the blessing of God, may this home be peaceful and here the family safely preside." So whatever he celebrates alongside all other holidys in this country I hope his is just as merry as Christmas is to Christians, and as well off as Chaunikka for the Jews.

 

Other b/c every day should be counted as a blessing, anyways.

I am truly offended that the author of this poll did not include the most celebrated and cherished moment of the season. January 7th the National Championship game. It must be bias showing since that Ohio State team is regulated to lesser status of playing a warm up game in Pasadena.

Hanukkah/Chanukah is a word transliterated from Hebrew, and both Romanized spellings are considered acceptable. :)

 

The Rose Bowl Parade and Rose Bowl on Jan 1. is much better than whatever they have (if anything) for that silly little game that's not good enough to be shown on Jan 1st.

I celebrate Christmas, and Chinese New Year, though I think the latter is still a couple months away. Unfortunate thing is, my parents are making me go to church on Christmas Eve. I know we're just going to sing Christmas carols, but....just, ugh.
