What Your Favorite Holiday Says About You
Halloween
If Halloween is your favorite holiday, you definitely have a creative and playful side. You enjoy the thrill of transformation, be it through costumes, storytelling, or exploring the unknown. You either have a love for the macabre, a serious talent for dressing up, or are just a huge horror movie fan (or maybe you hit the mark for all three!). Halloween is a transformative holiday steeped in the supernatural, perfect for a solo night of binging spooky movies or a chance to brave haunted houses with a group of friends. If Halloween is your thing, you’re probably a big fan of autumn, and you’re definitely someone who goes all in for the holiday – with decorations, costumes, makeup, and activities. Halloween lovers often have a youthful spirit and sometimes even a unique perspective on life and death.
Thanksgiving
If Thanksgiving is at the top of your list, you’re likely a nurturing and generous soul. You thrive in bringing people together and are probably seen as the glue in your family or friend group. You also have a deep sense of gratitude for all of life’s blessings, no matter how small, and are always able to find joy in the small things. Quality time with your loved ones is what’s most important to you in a holiday, whether you’re catching up with family or hosting the coolest Friendsgiving gathering in town. It’s also probably safe to say that you have a passion for good food and love cooking (or just enjoying the food others are making!). Your ability to see the best in people and situations makes you a comforting presence to those around you, just like this food-and-family-focused holiday.
Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and more
If you’re a big fan of one of these cozy winter holidays, you’re likely to cherish tradition and be deeply family-oriented. You find comfort in the nostalgia of Christmases past and love the warm, welcoming atmosphere that winter holidays create each year. You’re also likely to appreciate your community and give back to it, finding joy in giving and sharing with others. Your deep admiration for your community and connecting with those important to you shine their brightest during the cheery winter season – a time when you get to enjoy the chance to create lasting memories that continue to build each holiday. And hey, you’re probably also a great gift giver…or maybe just a great gift receiver.
New Year’s Eve/Day
If ringing in the New Year is your highlight, you’re probably an optimistic and ambitious person. You embrace change and new beginnings, often looking forward with excitement to what the future holds. You love a clean slate and a chance to ring in a new life for yourself. You might be highly goal-oriented, using this time to set new intentions and resolutions for yourself (and if you’re a fan of New Year’s, you just might be one of the people who can actually stick to their resolutions each year). New Year’s is the perfect chance to celebrate a year’s worth of growth, look back on your past accomplishments, and also look ahead to see all the new possibilities the year could bring. Your love for New Year’s Eve indicates a zest for life and an enthusiasm for personal growth.
Valentine’s Day
If Valentine’s Day holds a special place in your heart, you’re likely a romantic at your core. You cherish the idea of love – not just in its romantic form, but as a universal force that connects and uplifts. You’re not afraid to show your appreciation for your friends on this day, either; you just love love, and want to spread some to everyone in your life. You’re probably a naturally optimistic person who knows how to look on the bright side, and you can easily see the best in anyone. You’re likely good at resolving conflicts and know how to navigate tense situations. Your personality might lean towards being affectionate, expressive, and empathetic. You enjoy making others feel loved and appreciated, often going out of your way to show your affection through thoughtful gestures and heartfelt communication.
The Solstices
If you’re a lover of Summer or Winter solstices, you’re likely a sentimental person who connects fond memories to the changing of the seasons. You enjoy celebrating holidays that connect you with nature – you might be a spiritual person or just someone who enjoys celebrating two of the most unique days of the year. The Solstices are often bittersweet, with the Winter solstice being a short holiday to celebrate but ringing in longer days ahead, and the Summer solstice signaling that the long days of summer are over. Both holidays can be deeply nostalgic for some and highly spiritual for others, with the solstices often regarded as being the prime time to recharge your energy, set new intentions for yourself, and engage in whichever practices you fancy with the power of the day.
