I really like this holiday for some reason. Alot of it doesn't depend on other players killing your fun, and you get something very useful out of it - free cooking leveling. Now if only this could happen *after* 10 million alts are made. (And I think all the mats are BOP, at any rate the recipes are, i think).

Idk, i just find the idea of an 'optional' low-stress, yet zanny and fun holiday...fun. Now, lets compare it to things that really suck.

Easter - Yea for egg campers. Get a life!

Valentines - used to be pretty horrible, still is. May actually do it this year for long strange trip.

Elder - this one is okay, but you get to slog through the entire world. And the guardian of moonglade hasn't be updated since Vanilla, and drops nothing. Oh and the reward - rockets and glowing things...So, this basically sucks.

Halloween - pretty fun, but the RNG is hell. Last year I logged in (seemingly) a zilion times for the freaking toothpick, and it dropped once. This year, i logged in a zillion times, and not a single wand (not like I really need wands, but still). Oh, and the loot still sucks from horseman, but win for improved drop rates on everything. Overall I love this holiday.

Xmas - i don't even remember it. I like the pets...that's about it. Usually i'm gone for most of the time.

Midsummer - actually this isn't terrible, and come cataclysm should be free money since if you are high enough you can fly in all the world now.

Childrens week - eh this is fun. The PVP thing is not all that bad, and I hate pvp.

Basically i hate holidays with huge RNG, that require camping (easter eggs); and i'm not fond of flying all over the world to click a button (its just...why would i play a game to click a button every 10 minutes or whatever). So, yeah thanksgiving has none of this, esp if you can port to dalaran.
