Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Years Eve, Halloween, Remembrance Day, Labour Day, and Valentines Day, all of which are holidays that are celebrated around the world. Some countries may not celebrate all, and only choose to celebrate certain ones due to religious beliefs. Out of them all I’d say Christmas and Thanksgiving are my favourite holidays. Halloween is another one of my favourite holidays but you’ve probably guessed that already.
Christmas is one of my favourite holidays because we get to spend time with each other, give others gifts, and do lots of Christmas-related things. Christmas is a favourite among many kids (apart from celebrating their birthday that is) because most receive gifts, while the less fortunate find other ways to make do with what they have and celebrate in their own way. Getting to spend time with my family is very important to me because not many people get to see their family due to some of them working, or family issues.
Like Christmas, Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays because it is also a holiday that brings family together, and reminds us of all the things we have to be grateful for: our lives, our family, friends, those around us, and those who’ve helped us at different points in our lives. Having good water, food, and a roof over our heads, education and more. There are so many things that we should be thankful for, so many things that we use in our daily lives and still take for granted.
I am very grateful and think I am quite lucky because I get to see my family during the holidays. With the holiday season in full swing, I wonder, what are some of your favourite holidays?
