Everyone loves holidays. From Christmas to Easter, there are just so many holidays, and each one comes with a different meaning and way to celebrate. Most people have a favorite holiday, but which one that is depends greatly on what they personally do for each one. Holidays bring people together. For the most part, all holidays are just a time for family and friends to come together to celebrate different events from our past. This week is Thanksgiving, and it’s a holiday all about eating turkey and other food with family. Thanksgiving is only celebrated in America, and it is a time when Americans can all really relate about something. Things such as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade even further bring people together.
What religion you are, where you’re from, and so many other factors go into what holidays you celebrate. It brings everyone who is similar to you together, and you all have something to talk about and relate to. Holidays have developed, and as time goes on they continue to develop with the changing times. When you are a kid, every holiday is even more exciting and fun because of things such as Santa, the Easter bunny, and all of the other holiday icons. Then as you get older the holidays are still great, despite knowing that these things don’t even exist. This is because there is just a certain feeling that is associated with holidays. It is one that everyone knows. By bringing people together, holidays are one of our most powerful mediums.
I wrote about holidays too for my blog, I guess with Thanksgiving being that week and all. Anyways I definitely agree, I talked about also how holidays are great for bringing family together when you may be too busy or live too far away to visit on the regular. My nana and papa live in Maine, and although that is not too far, we always go visit them for Thanksgiving and Christmas not matter what.
