That's what the holidays are for - for one person to tell the stories and another to dispute them. Isn't that the Irish way?

Passover and Easter are the only Jewish and Christian holidays that move in sync like the ice skating pairs we saw during the winter Olympics.

During the holidays everyone needs a break from studying for exams and Christmas shopping. I wanted to put together a diverse tour that rocks in many musical directions but always points to Christ.

I'm so depressed. Christmas is the worst of all. Holidays are terrible worse than Sundays. I get melancholia.

Orphans dead parents lonely children at Christmas morose spoken word recordings everything you love about the holidays. Move the turkey over so you can fit your head in the oven.

Nothing says holidays like a cheese log.

I once wanted to become an atheist but I gave up - they have no holidays.

Where does it stop? You get offered money for your wedding then for your kids new houses holidays... We earn enough from football and sponsorships why do you need any more?

The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas and like those holidays beyond their meaning a factor in our economy.

Next year I hope there will be even more parties lots of holidays and just having a good time really. Plus wing-walking air shows and learning to fly as they are all things I want to do. I won't be restricted by age.

I think cookies are sort of the unsung sweet you know? They're incredibly popular. But everybody thinks of cakes and pies and fancier desserts before they think cookies. A plate of cookies is a great way to end dinner and really nice to share at the holidays.

It's really easy to figure out why I love what I love the holidays and food. I know the difference between having them and not having them.

I always loved family holidays and I had this vision and dream as a little girl of having a big family of my own.

My restaurants are never opened on Thanksgiving I want my staff to spend time with their family if they can. My feeling is if I can't figure out how to make money the rest of the year so that my workers can enjoy the holidays then I don't deserve to be an owner.

I saw why people died and how they died. I saw gunshot wounds and liver failure. It was a good learning experience so I came regularly on weekends and holidays.

Holidays are the best. I couldn't imagine being from a small family.

I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time I don't need holidays I just stop working.

'The Christmas Song ' by Nat King Cole is not only a masterful performance to me it just sounds like the holidays. I've never sung it because Nat's version is so perfect. I gotta leave it alone.
