I heard that people in the east coast celebrate the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) most? Is it true? Does this mean the people in New York celebrate the most for Christmas due to nice decorations, snowing, and people being joyful?

My cousin lives in California in the Bay Area (she lives in the area where the majority population is Asian) and she says there’s barely anything exciting around the holidays and the people around her don’t seem to enjoy or celebrate the holidays at all.

So to those east coast people (especially the ones in New York) out there, do you guys always enjoy or celebrate the holidays?

    hi. i don’t know to be honest if it’s true….but i’d imagine that people might get more into the mood of the season on the east coast considering the fact that they get snow there and everything. it’s sad that it’s not celebrated as much on the west coast, but it’s also a cultural thing. i know my cousin has a friend who’s from china (i think) who’s family doesn’t celebrate christmas at all…so it could depend on the cultural region she lives in. :-)

    Hey, don’t forget Boston! Here in Boston, the holidays are huge. Stores start putting up decorations mid-November. Black Friday , the day after Thanksgiving, is pretty much a holiday in itself. Christmas is close to over-celebrated. Here in Boston, we love our holidays.

    Ah, NYC during the holiday season. The tree at Rockefeller Plaza, the beautifully decorated store windows, and the smell of roasting chestnuts.

    As for Thanksgiving, all the trees have turned lovely shades of red, and orange. A perfect backdrop to a traditional turkey dinner at Grandma’s house.
