Everybody loves holidays. I mean who couldn’t? However, which one do you like just a little bit more? How about we look at a couple of the biggest holidays, Christmas and Thanksgiving. Christmas is obviously the best holiday ever. From how long you get off school or work, to the food groups you focus in on for that holiday, to who figuratively or literally comes to your home.
If I gave one the option of more or less, almost always one would choose more. Its just an instinct, who wouldn't want more? Christmas gets about 2 weeks off, to be specific, it is 16 days off. That leaves more room for longer vacations and fun. Or even if ones parents are divorced, it has enough room for two vacations of one week each! Unless one is more of the relaxed …show more content…
Poor Thanksgiving doesn't even get a full week off, they only receive 5 days, 2 of those which are weekends, so they started out free. 3 days off, 3 days to celebrate a national holiday.

Humans were given the gift of teeth, we should use them to their full potential! Honestly, any food substance that you can put into your mouth and swallow whole is bad news. The worst part is that everyone sneaks potatoes in every dish possible, like classic or sweet potato casserole, sweet potato-squash casserole, cornbread stuffing with sweet potato and squash, sweet potatoes, harvested mashed potatoes, browned butter mashed potatoes, maple sweet potato cupcakes, cornflake-pecan-and-marshmallow topped sweet potato casserole, mashed sweet potatoes with cumin, caramelized onion-and-gorgonzola mashed potatoes, au gratin potato casserole, roasted sweet potato-and-onion tart, sweet potato gratin, and worst of all, the original mashed potatoes. The fact even worse than mashed potatoes is that I genuinely didn't make any of those foods up, they are actual Thanksgiving
