My favorite day of the year is my birthday, and the week or so of days before it. It is the best because everyone is thinking about me, and talking about me, and giving me attention. They are also wondering what kind of gifts to get me, which is nice.
I like my bday best for different reasons. I get some strange pleasure out of going to work and not telling anyone what day it is. Invariably, someone asks a few weeks/months later I get to tell them they missed it. There is untold pleasure in seeing that folks cannot offer you cake or presents.
I prefer the company of good friends over presents. My immediate family and I gave up giving each other gifts for bdays ad xmas. Freedom!!
I like Thanksgiving because it is a day that I can be with friends and family without pressure to come up with the best gift. It also can mean great food!
Here you will find a new question to answer every weekday. This is not a secret so tell others about it, eventually we will sell ads and use the money to buy ice cream sandwiches for everyone and when we say "everyone" we mean it literally.
sponsorship
We need sponsors for veryserious.org so that we can pay the bills. Paypal $5 to support @ veryserious.org, or get us the money some other way, and we'll run an ad on top of this page all week to thank you. Also make sure to include any directions you have for what you want the ad to say.

The best day of the year is probably Halloween because all of the girls get to dress like tramps and all the kids get to eat candy.
my birthday for all the reasons andy said. bithdays are a source of effortless attention. i like it when mine falls on a friday.
i almost said christmas, but then i realized i was programmed to always look forward to it, but it generally ends up being really anti-climactic.
i, also, am a big fan of andy's birthday. for some reason the sun shines brighter that day.

Hands down, Hallowe'en is the best day of the year.
