To not create a S--- storm here, a separate, great and likely divisive thread would be "What is your favorite holiday?"

Since I'm not gonna do it-My winner and second place...
July Fourth- without that one, all else fails.
Thanksgiving- about as non confrontational as you can get in this day and age. When you wish someone "Happy Thanksgiving" no one gets PO'd.  
FWIW-

Christmas is mine.  Thanksgiving is very devisive; some claim it is based on a lie and a symbol of oppression and subjugation.

    Christmas is my favorite followed very closely by April 18th. For those not in the know, that’s National Anal Day. 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Since the question has been reframed as "Best BGE Holiday" in that regard the winner by several orders of magnitude is May 28, National Brisket Day!" B)
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Christmas is my personal favorite. Arbor Day is probably next. 

    Best BGE holiday for me is probably Thanksgiving because the turkey on there is just so dang good.

    .My favorite has always been July 4th  since that is my birthday! However my last BD was #78, so the closer I get to the proverbial end of the conveyor belt of life then I want that sucker to SLOW DOWN!

    Otherwise my favorite has always been the warm and fuzzy Christmas season!

    This will probably be the first year in 10 that I won’t be Egging a turkey for Thanksgiving. The relatives will be heading in all different directions. Mom has to severely limit salt anyway and I can’t make a good one without it anyway.

    I'm planning a prime rib.  SiL wants a turkey really bad, but nobody else really does.

    Father’s Day. Usually get woken up “in that special way” and then grill something later. Plus, I got my 1st egg on Father’s Day 2006 after being woken up “in that special way”. That was a very good day.

    Thanksgiving. Hands down. 

    Cook a lot, get your friends/family/loved ones together, and eat. And, drink. And, hopefully laugh a lot.
