On the eve of Halloween, it got me to thinking, what are the best holidays.
Here is a very unscientific poll taken in class:
1. Christmas: Christmas is the best holiday for many of the following reasons : You get to give and receive gifts and its Jesus’ birthday! The Christmas season in general adds to the fact that Christmas is the best. Christmas is cheerful and brings everyone together. There are many activities surrounding Christmas like decorating trees, putting up Christmas lights or going to look at them. Christmas is also the best because of the long break off from school to visit family or just rest.
2. Thanksgiving: In second place is Thanksgiving. For similar reasons Thanksgiving also brings people together and is a perfect transition of fall into the winter season. Thanksgiving is also good for the food and time off from school!
3. Halloween: Halloween is 3rd because we don’t get school off 🙁 but still is fun. The season surrounding Halloween is also fun because you get to watch scary movies and also get to decorate. You get free candy and can dress up as whatever you want once a year!
4. Easter: Easter is the 4th Holiday because Jesus resurrected! There is also fun activities like Easter eggs hunts, painting eggs, and other family traditions. You get to dress up and go to Easter mass and spend time with family.
5. 4th of July: The 5th holiday is 4th of July. This holiday is good because you get to hang out with friends and light off fireworks or go and watch them. You celebrate America and get to dress up in Red, White, and blue to represent it.
All of these holidays bring people together and have the best seasons surrounding them.
Mr. Yunt’s favorite holidays in order are Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, St. Patrick’s Day, Fourth of July
