The 10 best days of the year

A couple weeks ago Jared posted his favorite days of the year after I told him that he claims every day is his favorite day of the year, and he really couldn't really argue with me.  The NFL draft is getting oh so close and this also got me to think that I should do a post on my favorite days of the year because once upon a time NFL draft day was my favorite day of the year.  The NFL has since ruined it and it's no longer an all day Saturday event and instead a Thursday night affair and no longer in my top 10.  It is probably however number 11 on the list. I also decided that I had to change it up a little from Jared so I ranked mine 1-10, since we all love list form blogs.

10.  April Fool's Day- A day where I can joke with people and it's no big deal.  Yeah, that's my kind of day.

9. Halloween- I loved this holiday when I was a kid and was able to get a ton of candy.  I love this holiday now as an adult for the ton of eye candy.

8. Election Day- You may think I'm joking because most of you don't know the hard core political buff I am.  That is mostly because I hate when people talk politics and talk about who they voted for because I feel that defeats the whole purpose.  Because of this most people know very little about my political views, well unless you are my father who I will debate with all the time.

7. New Year's Eve/Day- I combined these two because they go hand and hand.  This time is so great because it's such a time of hope and looking forward to the future.

6. Super Bowl Sunday- If anything most of you probably thought this would be higher on my list.  As great as I love football it's just one game so that ends up hurting it.  Still a fun time had by all.

5. Valentine's Day- A day of love.  Desperate girls all over. Enough said.

4. 4th of July- Usually if I can I go to the horse track because they have a lot of things going on and the weather is always so perfect.  I always top it off with watching fireworks as well, and who doesn't love that.

3. Christmas Eve/Christmas Day- Much like the combo of New Years Eve/Day I kinda treat this day as one day.  Christmas eve we always got to open one present and I see my Mother's side of the family.  On Christmas day we open the rest of the presents and I get to see my Father's side of the family.  It's just really nice to see both sides of my big family in a short period of time and I get tons of presents.

2. First day of March Madness- The first day is better than the second day even though they both have the same amount of games.  This is mostly because I am burnt out almost by day two and I can never afford to take both Thursday and Friday night off so I end up working during some of the games.  That Thursday I watch basketball all day and my bracket isn't ruined yet.

1. My Birthday- For about 10 years now I have gone to the State Fair all day so it extra sweet for me.  The State Fair is the place I really love more than anywhere, well besides Vegas.  Lately I have gone with my friend Brett and we usually meet up with people throughout the day.  I really like being the center of attention so only fitting my favorite day of the year is the one that centers around me.
