[QUOTE="Toni, post: 242992, member: 82"] 1) We in Spain (at least in XX century) didn´t have "festive" holidays, in the sense that everything was either "official" (workday et al) or sad (all saints´ day), but no Halloween or Santa Claus for Christmas. We had the three Magi in January 5, which was terrible for us kids because we didn´t have time to start playing with our toys since the next working day school began (Claus passed on us, and sent those odd kings who flew on their camels!). Now it´s different, we are totally americanized: we have Halloween, Carnival, Santa Claus, New Year´s Eve (which is big holiday here) etc. So I never had a preference, besides I used to work on holidays for a long time.

There is a long winter season, and then a long hot (and sometimes rainy) summer. I also fancied Autumn... So romantic... in good company, of course. 3) My favorite TV miniseries is, undoubtedly, "Brideshead Revisited".
