Shavuos is one of my favorite holidays.
On a deeply personal level, I connect to the story of Rus.
I get teary eyed every time and I am proud that my husband and I saw the truth from the lies that we used to live (he was not brought up religious or even traditional xtian but I was...) and the beauty of our holy Torah.
While it was very difficult to give up our secular lifestyles it was definitely worth it.
I’m not saying that I never struggled in my Judaism bc that would be a lie, but now I know and believe that everything hashem brings upon us is for the good.
Who else?

So beautifully said.
I am FFB but I love the whole aspect of celebrating when we received the Torah and staying up all night to learn. And that it's only one day! (in Israel)

Is it ok if I love it for practical reasons? Pesach and tishrei come along with so much stress it takes away a part of the enjoyment. Shavuos comes at a calm time. Add to it cheese cake and flowers and it’s got to be my favorite too!

There is this famous Yiddish saying;
Pesach is like a Daughter in law- As much as you do it's never enough.
Sukkas is like a Son in law- It's work but it's nice.
Shavous is like a daughter- Whatever you do is perfect!
OP I am happy for you.
