Favorite Holiday
Do you know what’s your favorite holiday is? I do. Every Christmas I can count on gifts, food, and family.
First of all every Christmas morning my little brother is the first one up early, waiting for our mother to wake up and let him open gifts. Video games, clothes, tablets, and sneakers are in the boxes under the tree. I received an iPad, Pavilion laptop and Dre Beats for my music. My mother received everything she wanted and that's us being happy and appreciative. Furthermore everybody was excited it was Christmas, later that morning families and friends ring the doorbell of our door and wished us a merry Christmas, and we said the same back. Afterwards the crowed disperse, and my mother started to cook. We were having a Christmas dinner.
Eventually, the stew chicken had been set in the very center of the table, with the gravy all over it; between the bowls of the stew chicken is the sea food salad. On the counter surrounding the stew chicken is fried chicken with fruits and vegetables. Next to the stew chicken on a custom designed platter is the home made banana bread sliced on an entree. Surrounding the fried chicken are king fish and whitening. Across from the curry chicken is the breaded tilapia with onions on the top, cut up with Jamaican peppers. The scent of freshly peeled onions gave of aroma on the butter shrimps. Furthermore, the table was covered with deserts. Foremost the banana bread was fresh out the oven, cooling off in the bread pan. Next to the bread pan, is butter and honey in little containers all different brands. Lastly are the rum cakes. Freshly baked, sweet smelling with Jamaican rum given that rich taste. The rum cake has a dark color and very soft crest, with a very moist feeling. In the refrigerator are the different pitchers filled with blended peanut and Guinness. The ice cold water is the first pitcher to come out of the refrigerator followed closely with the ice tea.
Finally as I sit by the window and stare out into the trees,

    Christmas vs Thanksgiving

    Christmas is one of the most incredible times of the year; snow on the ground, a warm fire in the living room, and twinkly lights around every turn. When I was young, I loved Christmas. Toys and treats had me in a daze for almost a week straight. I was a typical kid, and my focus during any holiday was, “What do I get? Who brought me presents?”. I never realized the true meaning of why we have holidays, other than presents, until I was seventeen years old. As I’ve started to see my family less and my co-workers more, I understand that the true meaning of holidays in general, is to spend time with our loved ones. Taking my new found wisdom into account, my opinion of the “best holiday of the year” has changed from Christmas to Thanksgiving. My views, including favorite holiday, have changed because my focus on what’s important has matured.…

    The holiday tradition for christmas in my family starts on Christmas eve, since I have little brother and sisters we bake cookies for santa and set the milk out and we even put reindoor food out! (It's glitter and trail mix) When me and my siblings have finally fell asleep, my parents put out nthe gifts they don't wrap the ones from santa so it looks more realistic! Anyways, early in the morning we wake up and see the gifts from santa, then we open the ones from our parents. After our presents have been opened and the mess from all the wrapping paper and open boxes are cleaned up we go to the waffle house and chow down! Then we get together with our whole family and have christmas dinner and exchange presents. I love christmas with my family, not only because of the gifts but because we don't get together as much as we should!…

My brother and i used to love this we would cover in a giant blanket and watch cartoon movies in fact these are some of my best and most beautiful memories it was so peaceful. But as we got older and my mom and dad split we began to want to stay with them during the holidays but they would always go their separate ways to have a “good time”. As time went on we never spent it all together we either spent it with my mom or dad but, it still wouldn't matter cuz ma oldest brother was in haiti. When i got to the end of eighth grade and my brother came back we had one of the most memorable christmas ever not because of presents cause there was none it was they way we spent the night. There was the usual family dinner but it was later at night because my mom worked in the morning after desert eryone was lazy so we left the chores and all went to watch tv without even noticing we were all laughing and sharing our personal lives with each other and after we all fell asleep together in the living room.

    My brother woke me up on Christmas morning. He practically had to drag me out of bed and it turned out I could have slept at least another twenty minutes because my dad made us wait for him to get up and make coffee. Finally my brother and I unwrapped our presents. I got a pink Aéropostale sweater, some One Direction books and magazines, the new Taylor Swift album on vinyl, TOMS that are too big for my feet and a bunch of candy I can’t eat because of my braces. Then we drove to my mom’s house to celebrate Christmas there.…

    In many ways, a lot of thing in life are taken for granted. When you’re a young kid, it is all about the presents, but as you grow older you mature and come to the realization that it was never the presents that made the day but only the presence of your family, but the presents and food do add to the good time too. You come to see that family is one of the best things you can ask for. Without my family I do not think I would be this funny or happy. I love to be around my family because we talk, laugh, cry together and reminisce when I was younger and talk about the presents. The memories we share is more meaningful to me then what a gift certificate can ever mean.…

    1. One of my favorite Holidays is 4th of July. A few years ago my dad and I went to Washington to pick out some illegal fireworks. So we went to the Black Cat firework store . I got some mortars and roman candles and all the fun fireworks you could think of. So the day before 4th of July we were lighting off a few roman candles and all of a sudden a under cover police car pulled into our driveway and the police officer inside the car said “are you lighting off illegal fireworks?” because he saw me with the roman candles, and my dad said “yes” so the police officer confiscated all the fireworks we had bought and were fined a thousand dollars. We did get our ticket reduced down to $250 because we attended a fire works class. This definitely opened my eyes to the danger of fire works. From that day forward, I’ve learned not to do anything your not supposed to do, like buy illegal fireworks.…
