I mean, who doesn’t love the holidays? Everyone has their own favorite holiday. As the years go by it’s so hard for me to choose which holidays would have to be my favorite. But I came to realize that my three favorite holidays, would have to be Halloween, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s.
Sticky fingers, tired feet, and saying “trick or treat” to every house you see with the lights turned on. That’s me the night of Halloween. It’s a day where you can be a kid again.

You get to make new memories that are unforgettable and it’s a day where everyone gets along. Not to mention, the food that my family makes is so delicious. For instance, there is this one side dish that my aunt makes, its corn with jalapenos, cream cheese and I think she adds something else not sure. But for some reason it is so tasty to me that I have to go for a second round. Also you get to eat as much food as you want, until you can’t take another bite and you don’t have to worry about your so called “diet”. Another reason why I prefer thanksgiving is because the meaning behind it. It is a time to be thankful for what you have and appreciate the people in your life because life is too short to be ungrateful and have a negative perspective on life. Also giving thanks to God and everything he has done for you. Above all the reasons, Thanksgiving is a holiday that brings love and

    Every year on Thanksgiving break I have gone to my grandparents house to stay for the week. For me this is important because my grandparents live a good ways away and I barely get to see them. This became a tradition when I moved away from where they live because that's when our other traditions ended like on wednesdays we used to meet somewhere and eat dinner but we can’t do that any more so we thought that Thanksgiving break is a good time to go see them because we have off school and they can get off work. The whole time we are up there we laugh cook and have fun together.…

First, the food, my mouth waters from the thought of it! Succulent and juicy turkey, cold fresh country ham, velvety creamed corn, fluffy buttery mashed potatoes, creamy yams, flakey biscuits, and rich green bean casserole. Gathering around my grandparent's large dining room table with family and close friends of the family will always fill me with warmth.…

    Christmas break in my opinion is probably the second best brake that we have throughout our school year. The main thing I like about Christmas break is how long it is. But even though I like how long we are off school it's almost like we don't have a break because basketball takes over. We get a few days off but the rest of the days are hitting the gym early in the mornings for two to three hours a day. The days I have is the best thing in the world because I get to relax and do something fun for once.…
