I don't have a favourite day. Generally I prefer the holiday where a lot of people are togheter. For example a holiday in a little mountain town to celebrate the bean holiday or chesnut holiday. They celebrate the link with the nature, and in the past, with the food which was the main dish.
My favorite Holiday is Christmas. This is the most important reason why I'm waiting for winter.
I'm from Poland and we do some of diffrent tradision than in the USA. Firt of all on Christmas Eve we have all family and friend together. On The table we have 12 meals. No meat of course! Under the tablecloth we put some hay. All family wish Merry Christmas. Then all kids wait for first star on the sky to get presents from Santa ;o). After that we all singChristmas carol. This is the most beautiful day!

In Vietnam, the biggest holiday is Lunar New Year. These are the days we wear traditional clothes. We visit our relatives, friends and our colleagues to give wishes and good words. The aldults give lucky money for the young childrens. And we have a warm dinner together.
My favorite festiival is Lunar New Year. My family decorates our home with many flowers inside and outside. Relatives and friends get together to have a big dinner and exchange new year blessings. I still remember the exciting time when I was in elemetary school, more than ten cousins came to our home played and sang overnight to wait the new year coming.
Well, i'm from Colombia, but i'm currently living in London, Ontario ,Canada.

In sum, people becomes better by this time...
Like many other Easten countries.the most important traditional holiday is Lunar New year.All pupils have been off days before that so we devote our time to decorate our houses.In the New Year's Eve we often set off fire work and sky_lights at center squares.Looking at plenty of spectacular displays in the sky,we bless all happines to family friends and ourselves.Then we expect the first guest who's blieved to bring very luck greetings for a new year.

In Korea, there are 2 types of big holidays.
First, New Year's Day is day off for 3 days.

Most of people are also prepare ancestor-memorial services.
The other is Chuseok (the harvest moon festival).
Chuseok is on the 15th of August by the lunar calendar.
It is also 3 days off.
Peoples are preparing song-pyun(a rice cake steamed on a layer of pine needles).
Another holidays are 1 day off.
The national foundation day, Children's day, The Memorial day, Independence day of Korea, and Christmas...
Former days, there are more holidays. but people think that is so inefficient, nowadays some holiday disappeared.

Hi, I celebrate christmas eve with my family and friends and we eat "tamales","buñuelos".(traditional christmas food in my country .mexico)
In Viet Nam, we celebrate Tet day as our most important holiday. I really like Tet day not only for its special atmosphere:"family warmth" but also for lots of traditonal customs, which of them are receiving lucky money and eating sticky cakes and other special and tasty food. Before Tet day, we redecorate the house by cleaning or refurbishing it. Especially, Vietnamese people'd like to buy flowers and green plants like peach in the north and yellow apricot in the south to welcome lunar new year.On Tet day, children wear new clothes and visit their grandparents.I like wearing new clothes and getting lucky money on these day!hi
In my opinion, in Italy we have 3 very important celebrations:All Soul's Day, Christmas and Easter.They all are religious holidays, since in Italy, especially in the South, religious traditions are very rooted. On All Soul's Day the habit is going to the graveyard to pray on dead people's tombs. At Christmas we celebrate Jesus'birth and we use to exchange presents and to have launch with relatives and friends. At Easter we celebrate Jesus' resurrection and we are used to give Easter eggs (made up of chocolate) as present
