I vote cold weather.  Because I like downhill skiing.  Thats it for me, oh yeah, and I would vote for presents, but skiing is more fun than that too.
I only watch [adult swim]

That kind of intertwines with the holiday spirit, I think.

Oooooh! I like the commercialization of what is supposed to be a religious event! Buy your girlfriend an unecessarily huge diamond or a Lexus or she'll dump you! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

....Actually, I hate that. Not being religious, I personally like what is supposed to be goodwill and cheer and the like but turns into idiocy. Le sigh.

Don't even get me started on Easter.

Presents because I'm a shallow superficial materialistic jerk that can only be happy with stuff I want.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Not being a religious fanatic or being a person who loves commercialized things, I chose the break from school.

More time to sleep. :)

The Jesus stuff ties in with holiday spirit because I didn't want to be religiously predjudiced and just put Christmas.

With this, though, anyone who insists on calling a Christmas Tree a "Holiday Tree" to by politically idiotic correct loses respect from me. Seriously. Name me one other religion that puts an evergreen tree up during most of December. Find something better to do with yourselves, people.

See, being a cynic making celebrating the Christmas/time of other religious holiday season harder than it should be. Le sigh^2.
