This Article is DUE: NOV. 4th


Which Holiday do you prefer? Do you like Halloween because it is all about you? You are getting stuff rather than giving stuff? How much did you spend on Halloween this year? Was it more than you had previously spent? Was it worth it?

I love christmas because it truly show your inner spirit and plus u get to hang with your families. But with halloween it the other way around kind of.

I like Christmas because you get to spend it with your family and friends. Also, that we get a big break for Christmas instead of Halloween where you don't get even that single day off.

Halloween isn't the new christmas , but Christmas isn't my favorite holiday , thanksgiving is. One thing i do love about xmas is the music thats one thing you cant let u . other than that , my family is already close , we surely dont need a holiday to make us happpy.

Halloween is definatly not the new christmas . Christmas is about spending time with family and friend and lets not forget the presents . & Halloween is about bag snatching , tee-peeing houses & egging . Wolf Gang !

i love christmas cause it's about giving to others and spending time with family also we do not have school for three weeks. Halloween is about scary stuff but no like being happy and enjoying the moment...

JuliusWilliams6 said...

Just like everyone else, i love Christmas because that is the time when you can pretty much have whatever you want. You also get to spend time with all your family and friend and you even get two weeks off from school.

The average Halloween consumer will spend roughly $60 this year, as compared to $48 last year.

Thats a little ridiculous, halloween is a very high spirited "holiday" but theres no need to spend that much on decor and candy. It would only last one night. Thats more than i spent on homecoming this year. And for spending money on strange kids that probably dont really need the candy anyways, thats just too much.

wyattc27 said...

I dont see why so many people decorate for halloween its not neer as big as christmas and christmas is a world holliday so i mean christmas should be the only holliday where you decorate everything. dont get me wrong though i like halloween but christmas is just more important.

TShields5 said...

I prefer christmas because that is the time of the year when families come together an enjoy a holiday. Also its the time when teens get what they wanted all year

a.hatton3 said...

christmas is more important to me because the family gets together

Stacy Mullins6 said...

Christmas is the best holiday and my birthday is the day before. I don't really do Halloween anymore.

karlaknott said...

i love christmas and halloween because i get to spend it with my family and i get stuff on both.

vicetyler0 said...

i like christmas better because of the time i get to spend with my family and i love the food. halloween isnt as fun as it was when i was little cuz i dont really care about candy anymore.

I love Christmas because you get time off school and I like the snow and cold weather, it's also fun to travel and see your family. But I REALLY like Halloween because I have an excuse to dress scary, and watch horror movies and take my little cousins trick or treating.

I like christmas because i get a lot of gifts from my family and i love when i get to spend the day with my family. I didnt spend any money this year for halloween because i didnt do anything.

Chancelor` said...

I like christmas more than halloween because i get more more things but i can also give things to my friends

stephanieparker3 said...

Halloween is my favorite holiday but it is definately not the new Christmas. Christmas is all about spending money on others and Halloween is just for yourself. Even though Halloween is my favorite holiday i did not spend much money on it.

brooke wolfe5 said...

The holiday i prefer is Christmas. Christmas is the time to ask for whatever you want & there is a high chance that you just might get it, just because it's Christmas. You get to spend tim With family & my family makes a lot of food. Also you get to be out of school for a long period of time, which everyone likes.

marykatew4 said...

I prefer Christmas because it's a very loving holiday where everyone seems to get closer. I still enjoy Halloween. I spent at least twenty dollars on Halloween this year, adding things to a costume I had borrowed. Yes it was more than I spent last year and I will probably spend more next year buying a new costume for myself. Yes it was worth it because everyone loved it and I had fun everywhere I went.

daiquanewhite4 said...

i have to say that christmas must be my favorite holiday of the year. i like christmas because you get to spend time with the people you love, and you also get to make people happy, but most of all i love the presents

JustinHall2 said...

to me, halloween is definitely not the new christmas because halloween is just about gettin candy an givin out candy whereas christmas is about givin back to others that gave to you before and sharing a special day with the ones you love

keekee123 said...

I Love christmas but i like halloween to except for on christmas you get to spend time with family an close friends on halloween you get with a couple friends an go try an get some candy from trick or treating most of the time you get some stuff you dont like at christmas you get almost everything you want. there for halloween can never be the new christmas an halloween dont bring you close christmas do

beckylykins said...

i like christmas more than halloween. on christmas, you spend alot of time with family and you recieve presents and give presents, my family has dinner, and overall, just a great time. but on halloween, i usually have to work. so, i dont really celebrate halloween to much in the last couple years. if i do celebrate, i would hand out candy.

Andrew Gentry4 said...

I like Christmas better because I am getting money or gifts I never get no one nothing. Halloween is boring I think. You dress up and only have like an hour to walk around and get candy.

I love Halloween, you can be yourself, do essentially what you want and you can still be with friends and family just like Christmas. Plus you get to dress up..Who doesn't want to dress up? Honestly.

Tiara Coldiron 5 said...

I like Christmas because you get to spend time with your family and your not only receiving presents but you are giving them to. This halloween i really didn't spend anything.

James Pierson 5 said...

I enjoy Halloween more than I enjoy christmas. I don't like it because it's all about me, I enjoy it because it's a night when you, no matter your age, can get together with a group of friends walk around and get candy or just scare people. Of course yes there is the fact that I'm getting candy, but I'm giving good company and receiving it. I didn't spend anything on Halloween. I don't know how much I've previously spent, but I know it's not more than other years. Being with friends is always worth it.

mknight5 said...

i prefer christmas because not only for the gifts but i get to spend time with family and that hardly ever happens because we are always busy. the only thing i really like about halloween is the candy and land of illusions. i dont treat or treat anymore or dress up, so its not that big of deal of me. and this year i didnt spend anything. i didnt pass out or go to any haunted places.

shannonkirby5 said...

i love christmas ! i do hate the snow though. makes everything just so wet & cant do nothing but sledding and stay home. i love giving & getting gifts, no matter how small they are. thanksgiving is all about family time together & eating two weeks worth dinner. halloween is all about costumes & candy ! (: christmas is christmas. thanksgiving is thanksgiving. halloween is halloween !

Ceara Barker5 said...

I prefer Christmas. I didn't get anything for halloween. I spent like 20 or 25 on Halloween, last year I didn't spend anything. Christmas is way better. I don't think Halloween is the new Christmas.

kenyap,5 said...

for me i don't like halloween i only pass out the candy to the little kids but thats it I would say that i like christmas without even thinking because on christmas i can spend time with my whole family almost every day an have fun spending time together with halloween you don't get that..... you just get candy but on christmas you can get family time and gifts so of christmas is better.

marquise5 said...

Christmas is great i love to spend time with my family an enjoy of getting presents. I believe that Halloween is not the new Christmas.

LanceJohnson6 said...

I like the holiday Christmas because its a time when you can sit by the fire and have fun opening your presents with your family. Halloween is very different its like everyone does there thing kids go get candy and parents don want to deal with the kids coming to the door. and you cant get into Halloween as you can Christmas.

DENARIUS DEAN6 said...

l like christmas because you be around the ones you love in that you can have a good time

DylanDunn6 said...

i prefer halloween over christmas, i mean yeah i like getting presents but i'm also a huge halloween person along with all my family. I'm pretty sure my family spent more on halloween stuff this year than last, and as long as cool stuff keeps getting released we will buy more each year.

Logan Miller 6 said...

I like Christmas more because you get a lot of presents and stuff but i also like halloween because my birthday is a few days before it and i like the season that halloweens in.

Corey Estes 6 said...

I would rather be with family and loved ones than walk around and get free candy. I really love trick-or-treating but its just not as good as giving something from the heart to someone you love.

Taylor Williamson6 said...

I like christmas way better...
This yearr I didn't spend a dime on halloween. To me its a holiday thats about only the kids. Christmas its about everyone. Its about Family & friends & others who mean the world to you. Thatss why I love Christmas better then halloween.(:

soniajuarez6 said...

i like christmass because every year i go to Mexico to celebrate this holiday with my family down there and I always get whatever i want . No i dont like halloween because my family doesn't celebrate this holiday so i didnt spend no money.

donaldcrew6 said...

Halloween is nothing like Christmas its just you getting candy and wearing a weird costume only good thing about halloween is all the scary movies come on t.v. Christmas is a time to be with your family and get presents and play in snow not just getting candy you can get what you want on your christmas list.

adamraver6 said...

i like christmas because you never be too old to celebrate it. getting things is always nice too.

Dineesia Mack 6 said...

I like Christmas way more than Halloween because you get way more time to sit around and spend time with your family instead of Halloween when all you really get to do is hang around way more people. Plus on Christmas you get to share things with your family and get a lot of presents from and for each other.

skate4life said...

I mostly love christmas because im around alot of people i appreciate and love the most.Another one of my favorite is thanksgiving because mostly the same reason and you actually get to spend quality time wit them.Halloween is a different story because its not really a big deal or really means as much.

Anonymous said...

i think that Halloween is different in many ways. Christmas is all about giving not receiving family and friends and well a big break from school and work. i didn't spend much for Halloween except for candy. but for Christmas i spend a lot on gifts for everyone.

Kelley Mae 6 said...

Halloween is more for little kids going trick or treating more than it is for grown ups and teenagers. Christmas is my favorite holiday. Not just for the gifts but because of being around family and being loved by the people around you.

logana5th said...

I really don't care anything about Halloween. Sometimes a group of us will go to one of those haunted house's. We don't give out candy or decorate for it. I prefer Christmas anyday over halloween. Christmas is our family time which I like. All the good food and treats and sweets. I love the christmas shows and music.

johnna said...

i LOVE Christmas more than any other holiday because you get to see more of your family and spend time with them , its not always about the presents and gifts you get.

Beth Cornele said...

I like christmas better than Halloween, because I love spending timw with family and friends and I'm getting to old to trick-or-treat.(: My family don't spend money on Halloween. We go to my aunt's house and have a bonfire and I walk my little sister around the neighborhood.

Djook said...

i like christmas because it's atime of happyniss no one is trying to scare you or anything it's a family oriented holiday.

Austin Gibson 3 said...

I like Christmas a whole lot better than Halloween. You spend more time with family and friends. you get to see those long distant family members that don't live around you.

chanel white said...

I like christmas because i get a lot of gifts and i also get to spend time with family members. halloween is the total opposite.

khalil sloan3 said...

Holloween is not the new christmas. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year and i really like because you give and recieve and you get to watch people be happy and enjoy. Holloween to me isnt like it used to be because you used to go outside and trick r treat and show your costume but know that we have all grown up you just dont do that anymore.

JuliusWilliams6 said...

Halloween will definitely not be the new christmas because christmas is a time when families come together, open presents, and have a good time

Jaiden Ballard#5 said...

No! Halloween is not the new christmas. Thats like saying bikes are the new cars, which aint true. Some people get excited for halloween, others like me, dont. but I do get excited for christmas.

danielleg5 said...

i prefer Christmas. i don't care for Halloween, all you're doing is dressing up & getting candy. which isn't even good for your health anyways. i would for sure rather give to others than get for myself. i spent legit 5 dollars on a halloween costume. i didn't dress up. it was less then i have previously spent, was it worth it? yeah because i'm growing up & growing out of the "Halloween spirit".. like i've said i don't care for Halloween.

frongia1 said...

I like christmas because I get gifts but I also like it because I get to give gifts to people as well and I like to see there reaction

marawocher6 said...

i like christmas because you get to spend time with your family. i dont really like halloween i didnt spend alot of money on halloween just a couple dollars just for candy to pass out to the kids.

AntonioW5th said...

I like Christmas because it brings the family together, I am able to see other family members smile by giving and receiving gifts.

Austin.Reece6 said...

I dont have a favorite between the two of these holidays. I have a few reasons for this. One is that at halloween i get to either: dress up and scare kids or i get to sit on my porch and see how creative the kids are getting and give them candy which makes you feel good inside. then you got christmas which is good because you get to give your family and friends and seeing the looks on there face when you give them something that they have always been wanting. Then also you get a bunch of stuff that you have been wanting and you personally don't have to pay for it. so its a hard decision for me. i think there equal to me and i usually will spend more on christmas items than i will for halloween items cause even buying the best expensive candy it really is not a lot.

latrelldavis2 said...

I love chritsmas. i perfer it more then i do holloween. i spent lik 15 bucks on candy this year that i passed out. but i dont believe holloween will out do chritsmas. next year i will probab;ly spend the same amount as i did this year.

christina.c4 said...

i like christmas because i get to spend time with family and friends. i like decoratding and puttin up the tree and baking and getting to wach my little brother face light up wen he sees persents

issac,Splashhn said...

i prefer Halloween more, i feel as if it's a funner hoilday to go get free candy see all the costumes the tricks-n-treats

cklapper said...

Christmas is a little bit better halloween because you get to spend time with family and friends just like summer break.

taylormorgan66 said...

i love halloween its my favorite holiday because i love scary people and dressing up.

Brian Moyer 5 said...

I prefer Christmas because its cold and wintery outside at this time of year. I like Halloween because before it was invented, it was All Hallows Eve. My favorite time of the year.
