I have three different holidays that I like to celebrate for different reasons. The holidays are Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s . Here are the reasons why in order of the holidays.

First is Thanksgiving. I like Thanksgiving for a number of reasons. First is that I get to spend time with family. Most of my family on my father’s side of the family, I don’t get to see except on Thanksgiving. Usually we drive to Maryland and spend the break with family. Second, there is all the food. I mean, when you eating so healthy that you can’t eat a wendy’s hamburger without gagging at least once, good food that doesn’t involve cooked spinach or zucchini noodles is not that common (or at least last year). Thanksgiving is a great holiday but what I don’t get why people put up Christmas decorations so early. Well, better make way for Santa because Christmas is next.

Next is Christmas and I have to say, What’s not to like about it? Anyways, better get on with it. On Christmas Eve, my family on my mother’s side comes over to celebrate. I get to see my cousins and some uncles and aunts since uncle Mike had row with my grandparents. My second reason is (if you have an elf over during december and your parents haven’t told you something about it, skip this section) that I get to have some fun hiding my elf, Christopher Popinkins, in my house. Now time to end the year with New Year’s eve. As a family tradition, we have lasagna for dinner and the kind my mom makes is absolutely delicious and I am hoping she never changes the recipe. I remember that one day she said that she was going to make the lasagna healthy and my dad and I shot her down.

I like New Year’s Eve and not because it’s the end of the year but because of what we do. Every year, my mom plans out the day and includes fun activities for the day. Now there are some gaps because that I know of, she is the only person that knows what is going on other than (maybe) my dad. She puts these slips of paper that say what we are doing in balloons. she used to do paper bags but not anymore (I think). I also like being able to stay up late. Last year, Me and my friend went around on plasma cars and kept constantly drifting them and that was at I think 2:00 in the morning. I also like watching the ball drop in New York. Last year, my parents dropped a bunch of balloons so my brothers could experience the ball drop without staying up to midnight.
