Hmm, that’s a tough question because I’m definitely a holiday person (a
person who likes holidays), but I would have to say New Years Eve. I’m
always keen (want) for change and new beginnings, so I love setting new goals
at the start of each new year, not to mention I really enjoy the parties. Second
to this would be Valentine’s Day, since I’m a hopeless romantic (a very
romantic person).
