I'd support a mandatory paid week off for Christmas.

I was in fine dining for over a decade... worked every holiday because of double pay and because tips were so freaking awesome. Now it is weird to have them all off.

I like Thanksgiving for the food and family aspect but X.Mas for the kid aspect...
 
Thanksgiving. All the places I like to spend time in get WAY too many tourists during xmas/new years, and it is also a bad time for work, because no one wants to work. So I don't have anywhere to go.
 
I don't like any of this choices but I suppose " Christmas " is better as you get your feast and you give gifts to others as well as the winter break which is always nice to use to cram for midterms
 
I like both equally (and I'm non-religious). Any chance to spend time with family and celebrate tradition and culture is always fun.
 
Both have their attractions.

I love T'Day cause it's the Superbowl of cooking and I spend weeks planning the dinner, buying supplies and generally planning the day's cooking as if it were the Normandy Invasion. Then I get up early and spend the day cooking and eating and drinking. Doesn't get much better than that.

Christmas was great when the kids were little but as they've gotten older it's lost a little of it's attraction. And with our daughter moving out this past year and spending both holidays with her inlaws, neither was that great. Though she pointedly told me that this year she's coming home at least for Tday cause she missed us and I cook much better than her mother-in-law :)
 
Christmas - 2 Grandchildren. It is an awesome day with them.
