What is your favorite Key/Note?

What is your favorite key/Note? or really,  When you think of a melody, What key is it normally in?

I came across this about a month ago where I noticed most of my music was in the key of D, and when I thought of a melody it was also in D; even though now there's a bit of B mixed in.

It's just sort of a simple question, and I really want to see what others have to say about it!

I've noticed that for Christmas music (yes - it's that time of year and I've already written a piece for the season!) I always tend to write in the key of Eb major for some reason.  It also happens to be the key of my favorite Beethoven Symphony - No. 3.  Perhaps it's because of that symphony that people ordinarily think of that key as "heroic" but I think of it more as a warm key.  I also prefer flat keys, even if it causes way more flats in the key signature than is practical.  For example - I prefer Ab minor or Eb minor to G# or D# minor.  I'll just use the Ab major and Eb major key signatures and write extra accidentals for the notes I need to make it minor.  Interesting topic!

No Doubt C# minor!! My all fav. piece, Beethoven's op.131 Quartet is also in that key. And I write my 3rd Piano Sonata in the key too. My upcoming piano pieces set will be in that key too.

You know what... by seeing this sentence immediately those two opening chords play on my brain and the music plays itself non-stop.....
