My Favorite Holiday

Christmas like Thanksgiving believe it or not, do happen to share many traits. One major factor that the two own is the warmth and love of bringing family and close friends together. It’s the few times a year that everyone has a reason to all gather around to

In my culture traditions are very important in your life. For example, one tradition that has been in my family for many years is going to the park and celebrating Easter with the family. We barbecue, play sports, and then at the end of the day we have an Easter egg hunt for the young children. Another tradition of ours is to do a Christmas Eve dinner at my great grandma’s house. During this event you are with your relatives and close friends for dinner and for a social gathering until the early morning of Christmas day. Many of our traditions revolve around getting all of our family together and spending time with them.

Waking up early on Christmas was always a thing my brothers and I did when we were younger. What made those moments so special was all the decorating we did in the week before. Decorating the Christmas tree was always one of my favorites. Seeing the same ornaments year after year never got old for me. I remember stringing out the tangled lights we used for the outside of the house all throughout the yard. I would hand my brothers a string of lights as he stood on the ladder supported by the house. I always enjoyed putting up the little snowman and gingerbread houses throughout my living room. As you get older all the decorating and family time seems to decline, so spending time with family on holidays were always

My favorite holiday is Halloween! I like it because I get to go get my costume and I also like it because the Halloween store had millions of costumes covering every square inch of the store. I also love to go through the store trying masks on and taking funny pictures in them. While we're are in the to the Halloween store my brother and I are talking to each other and seeing what we're gonna wear while we're trick or treating, further on in the night we will go to a party and we will go get candy. My favorite part of Halloween if filling my stomach with all the food, goodies, and candy filling up my stomach. also this year we were planning to trick or treating at the gncc or more known as the

The first tradition that I want to talk about is the Christmas tree. Every year, Iand my family go into the bush to get a tree. We find one that looks good and chop it down and use the top. It’is a lovely tradition. The history of the Christmas tree is really vast and substantial. A look at the history of the tree only shows how extensive this history actually is. According to History.com Christmas trees used to

We are not the type of family to throw random ornaments on our tree, like the ones kids make in elementary school, we go all out. I would say our tree is more like something you would see in a home design catalog. We have hundreds of ornaments we use to try and make the tree look different every year. Under the tree we have “the village”. It has a couple of light-up buildings including a museum, a ranger’s station, a ski lodge, and even an ice rink, along with a dozen little figurines. The village is my pride and joy and one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. One year I cried because my mom set it up without me.

Traditions are really important in my family it brings us all together in a fun way. One of my families many traditions is on the Fourth of July we have a big party for my mom’s side of the family. We get together and we have hot dogs, burgers,and chips. We play volleyball, kickball ,and talk till it’s dark then set off fireworks.

The best holiday, in my opinion, would have to be Thanksgiving. There are so many great things about this holiday, especially with my family. There are many things to see, smell, hear, touch, and taste, from the time we get to my grandparents’ house until the time that we leave.

My favorite tradition that I drew was the beach, for me that is my favorite tradition because our friend owns a part of the beach and everyone in my family from Aunts and Uncles and grandparents to cousins rent the cabin there. Everyone in my family gets together at the beach and we all hang out for a couple days on the last week of August. Along with that on the Sunday of the last week my great Aunt brings big bins of little chocolate bars and candy for all of the kids to eat. I don't only like this tradition because of the tasty treats, I enjoy this tradition because I have such a big family that I don't see everyone all the time so when we get together sometimes it's been a year since I last saw them. Overall it’s just nice to be close with my family and get to spend time with them at the beach. That is my favorite

Hanukkah and Christmas are both well known for their decorations, but they do have very distinct ways to display their religion. Hanukkah often uses blue and silver colors. There most common decorations are the menorah and the star of David. One decoration that is not uncommon is a chocolate gelt and dreidel. However, Christmas often is represented by red and green colors. Decorations they include are green evergreen, fake snow, white colors, ornaments, tinsel, mistletoe. But, probably the most famous decoration is a Christmas tree. With ornaments and a angle or a star on top. One thing the holidays do have in common is they hang and string bright lights

There are many holidays, secular and religious to chose from. Before deciding on your favorite one, you have to think about what makes a good holiday. First, a good holiday has tradition. Remembering past holidays and stories about how the holiday originated make a holiday memorable. A good holiday also has to have lots of fun. Having fun during a holiday makes it a great break from regular life. The last aspect that makes a holiday great is soothing the problems of daily life with family time. Enjoying what you love with those you love is a great feeling. Based on this criteria, I feel the best holiday is the Jewish holiday of Hannukah.

Beside the food, the next best thing about the holidays, is the quality time that I get to spend with my family. My family is spread out all over the United States; we do have family in Washington, Georgia, Ohio and Mississippi. Since we all in different states, we do not get to see one another much. When my family comes together it is always really interesting because something always happens. Thanksgiving is usually the time when most of the family comes together because nobody wants to miss grandma’s award winning food. My grandmother has won several cooking contest when she lived in the bay area. When the family comes around for Christmas, it is unforgettable because it does not happen all the time.

Since my family lived so close together, we had many family traditions that remain important. We gather for nearly every holiday for a meal and routine. For Easter every year, we have an Easter egg hunt and dinner at my grandmother’s house. For Christmas Eve, we always went to my great-grandparents house and had dinner and exchanged gifts. For Christmas, we celebrated at home, and then went to my grandmother's for breakfast with our cousins. The importance of all of the holidays we celebrated was that no matter what was going on in our lives,

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. I love seeing the shinny Christmas lights that decorates my street and the sound of fresh fallen snow on the ground. Christmas reminds me of family, the laughter and loved we shared, and the gifts we gave to each other. My house on Christmas became the center of my joy.

I think Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. Maybe because of the special atmosphere that you can feel everywhere, in shops, restaurants , pubs and even streets, where you can hear the magical carols, or maybe it's because of its religious background, but what I can tell you for sure is that I can't think of anything more exciting than the image of the entire family preparing the Christmas Tree or fixing the Christmas dishes.
