Christmas and New Year are so very close together, just a week separates them, but which do you enjoy celebrating most? Christmas or New Year?

Christmas = Family BS, money pit, no drinking, eat till you puke
New Years = Friends & getting stupidly trashed

New Years all the way!!!!

Heh...I'll go with New Year's for the same reason

Just kidding. Most of my relatives are no longer that widely dispersed, though--I see them periodically throughout the year. I'm kind of a bah-humbug person--the constant barrage of crass Christmas commercialism gives me a 2-month headache. I predict it will soon start up immediately after Labor Day. Can never wait to get past it.

So I'll still side with New Year's.

You know, as one gets older usually they see things different when they were children.

Christmas (as a kid) - Can'wait another fun snowy day with free gifts
Christmas (now) - What, oh, just another day.

New Years (as a kid) - Did not know, just a really cool reason for days off from school.
New Years (now) - Just another day that is suppose to be a new year.

This harsh but real view. If i were to have a choice between the two, perhaps Christmas as it represents the start of something good, and New Years as it is the end of the old and in with the new.

I agree with Shindo_Hikaru. starting at the age of 10, i spent every new years eve wondering what it was about. yay, its a new year, woop de do..... christmas actually represents something. I really dont care about the gifts, its the part about being together and having fun with family.

well, I'm 16, and I still love Christmas the best. News years is just a day for people to get hammered and crap and i don't like that. getting hammered isn't exactly a smart thing to do. If you like to do it, be responsible. So many people have been running around on our street and damaged stuff because of it.

The thing I love most about Christmas, is the turkey dinner. Always tastes great. Plus all my family comes over. My grandparents don't get out much, mainly because of my grandfather (he has Alzheimer's)

Well, my vote is obvious, Christmas it is
