Halloween vs. Christmas – Which Will Win?
October 31, 2019
Halloween versus Christmas, a very controversial topic, since it is a debate between two of the most popular holidays. Who will win? Will it be Halloween, or Christmas?
“Christmas is a happier holiday for me since I get presents and it’s a joyous day.” Mady Flynt, Freshman.
“I like Christmas better because of the decorations. Lots of feelings go into this holiday and I appreciate that there is a day like this.”
Hayley Gonzalez, Junior.
“I love Christmas because of the looks on people’s faces when you give them their present.”
Uriel Howard, sophomore.
“Christmas is better because it seems to give me feelings of warmth.”
Levi Villegas, Freshman.
“I prefer Halloween because you enjoy the time with friends, and you can dress to get candy.”
Emma Burgoin, Sophomore.
“I have to say that I prefer Halloween because of the excitement and adrenaline from being scared. It’s a super spooky holiday, and you see new things every year.”
Kaydance Hagerstrand, Sophomore.
“You know what, Christmas is my favorite holiday because of family. It’s a joyous day to celebrate with decorations and presents.”
Mr. Clasen, PVHS Math Teacher.
Between Halloween and Christmas, only one holiday can win. Out of everyone interviewed, most people said that they preferred Christmas over Halloween. Popular opinions were about the importance of the gifts or they like the celebrations.
Personally, I feel like Halloween is a fun holiday when you’re younger. However, Christmas is much more fun over the years because you get to celebrate with those you love and you get presents of love. Happy Holidays!

I like Christmas a lot for just the feeling and its good to know that most people think so too, Halloween is cool and all but it doesn’t really beat the feeling of hot chocolate and a warm fire with a bunch of friends and family. Christmas is a holiday where family travels from all around the United States to be with others and i don’t think Halloween could do that. I think this article is pretty cool for thinking about which holiday is better and how different people at our school celebrate it.

This is a very well written article and I personally enjoy the fact that you took the time to interview a variety of people and take pictures of them. The pictures you took were very nicely taken as well.Christmas is definitely a better holiday in my opinion because it’s one of the only times you can get the whole family together and have a good time.

This article is awesome I love how you put two of the best holidays and basically made them battle I wanted a story like this done but no one wanted to I love how you put other people opinions and showed how other people view these holidays, I also like how how you put there full name and photo and grade so we know who you are talking about this is a good story. I like Christmas better because you spend time with family the gifts and the chilly weather. Good Job (:

I love both holidays, Halloween is a great holiday because you get to scare people, dress up as anything you want, get candy, with a bunch of other things you can do. Also, Christmas is a great holiday as well. You are able to spend time with family, open presents,and other reasons too. I love both holidays I wouldn’t be able to choose which holiday is my favorite.
