It always seems like there's another new holiday to prepare for. With all of these holidays rapidly approaching I thought I'd share a few of my favortes. Here are my top 5 favorite holidays!

#5 Easter

With all the bright colors and happy people how can you not like Easter? It's a time when spring is in the air and a time for new things. There's bright flowers growing everywhere, animals coming out of hibernation, and even a big Easter bunny to greet you. You can't go wrong with Easter!

#4 St. Patrick's Day

As a Irish las myself I love St. Patrick's day! The color green everywhere you look and a day to celebrate my family heritage. I have had the privilege of going to Ireland myself this past summer and that trip only strengthened my love of all things Irish. I can't wait for St. Patrick's day this year.

#3 New Year's Eve

This day, for whatever reason, becomes a day where things from the past don't really matter. Not that all your troubles simply go away, but New Year's forces you to have a new perspective about your life. You can look back at all of the good things you've done and what you want to fix about yourself. Use this time for self reflection and make a healthy new years resolution. Don't forget the New Year's Pretzel!

#2 Halloween

Halloween is almost tied for my favorite holiday. A time when you can eat all the candy you want, wear an outfit you would usually NEVER wear out in public, decorate pumpkins and drink apple cider can't be bad. I love everything about this holiday, including the haunted houses and hay rides. I could go on forever about all of the wonderful things you can do around this time but i'll leave it at this... candy corn.

(If you don't like candy corn then I'm sorry to tell you that you are wrong)

#1 Christmas

A time where magic truly comes alive. People are more generous, happier, and giving is at an all time high during this season. The best part about Christmas is, (if you're lucky), looking outside your bedroom window and seeing a beautiful, pure, and white wonderland, like God himself sprinkled a soft layer of powered sugar on a perfectly baked cake. Christmas is a time when dreams come true and happiness is all around you.
