Personal Statement: H Is For Holidays

My favorite part about it is that I get to stay up late and do what I want. I’m also excited for next year because of these two reasons: Legos and pokemon cards. Every new years, new legos come out, and every year they get better and better. My second reason is that new pokemon cards are coming out and I love pokemon cards.

Ah Christmas, it is said to be the most wonderful time of the year. In the United States Christmas is a time of giving and receiving, spending time with your family, and in most Christian families, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is hands-down the most highly commercialized holiday celebrated by Americans. In fact, according to CBS news, the average American will spend $700 on gifts this holiday season, totaling for a whopping $465 billion spent nation-wide. From mall Santas as far as the eye can see, to hearing Christmas music in every retail store you enter. Christmas is a time of high spirits and high spending in the U.S.

Unlike most people my favorite months are November and December. I love the coldness and the christmas decor and hot

The first reason why I believe Thanksgiving is the best holiday is because it is during a good time of year. It isn’t too hot and it isn’t too cold, plus it falls during the perfect time of year, when the colors are still changing and leaves are falling off of the trees. Most of the time it is still nice enough to do things outside. For example, you can go play a game of football or go on a walk with your family. During Christmas it is

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

Everyone likes different seasons for different reasons I like them all but would have to say summer is probably my favorite. I like summer the most since that’s when I can hang out with my friends outside more. I like it more since we don’t have to worry about wearing a winter coat and lots of clothes.

This event is called "Impact weekend" as students work together to accomplish various tasks. As a leader of this event, I helped chaperone a group of roughly 15 6th grade boys during the years of 2013 and 2015, and I led the 11th grade boys this past February. During this event we serve the community as a group by helping locals who express a need. This year we had over 150 students gather to help harvest tomatoes for a small company. Each grade also competed in problem-solving competitions around the church to allow everyone to grasp the importance of community and working together. I led bible studies with my group each day, and acted as a mentor for any problems the students were

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.

In the celebration of the local holidays and traditions of our country, we get to experiences new things that we don’t know about and it provides memories that will last a lifetime. We also have more time with our family and friends. It contributes a sense of comfort and happiness. I know more things during the time I spend with my family on holidays. For instance, when I was six years old, there was a day that my parent takes the whole family visiting my relatives’ houses. My parent told me to say “Happy New Years and wish you have the best luck this year.” to that person and then they give me a red envelope. I don’t know the reason why. When I got home, I open it and see twenty dollars, I am so happy. I did it every year and I come to realize the reason, it’s because what I say makes them happy and they give me money so that throughout the year I will get lucky too. But that don’t last long because my family moves to America and they don’t do that here, it’s sad. Nevertheless, I still thankful that I got to know those things before I

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.

My favorite season of the year is summer because of the warm weather, the school vacation, and the endless fun. I really enjoy the warm weather because it’s the perfect atmosphere to do outdoor activities. My favorite part about summer has to be the fact that school is closed for two months. During summer, you’re free to do whatever you want, not worrying about curfew or waking up early for school. Summer time is a great time to relax with friends and family by soaking up the sun at a beach or simply having dinner together.

that stands out as my favorite, Christmas. It is a time of year “with lots
