My Favorite Holidays by Christina Celentino

I love holidays! I like all of them but I do have a few favorites. I love Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Easter. There are a lot of different facts and traditions behind all of these different holidays. Not everyone celebrates these holidays though. It depends on your religion.

HOHOHO!!! One of my favorite holidays is Christmas! Christmas is celebrated on December 25 every year. It’s celebrated by Christian’s and Catholic’s because it’s when Jesus was born. Were you wondering where HOHOHO came from? It came from Santa who is St. Nicholas. Santa has 9 flying reindeer and his sleigh. During the night before Christmas, Santa goes to every house on earth and gives you presents under the tree, and little presents in your stocking. On Christmas Eve, your supposed to put out cookies and milk for Santa to eat. Anytime before Christmas, you should decorate your Christmas tree with ornaments. Make sure to spend time with your family on Christmas!

BOO!!! Did you know there’s a lot to know about Halloween? Some people think Halloween has no background, but they are wrong. A long time ago, people only did haunted houses to get money. Now we do it for fun. Costumes used to only be black cats and witches because people thought it would scare evil spirits away. Halloween used to be called All Souls Day. Now kids go trick-or-treat around their neighborhood to get candy. Everybody wears all different types of costumes too. People still carve jack-o-lanterns because it’s fun. Make sure you go trick-or-treating with a parent!

Finally, it’s Thanksgiving and Easter! Thanksgiving is on the third Thursday of November. It is when the Pilgrims came to America. The foods that most people eat on Thanksgiving are turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, and pumpkin pie. On Thanksgiving, you eat a really big dinner. You could also do walks in the morning. We do Father Joe’s Turkey Trot. Easter is always on a Sunday in April. It’s also called Pasch. The week before Easter is Holy Week. On Easter, you can decorate Easter eggs, do an Easter egg hunt, have a picnic, have dinner, etc. The Easter Bunny goes to all houses with kids while your asleep and gives you presents or candy! Have fun on these holidays!

Clearly, these holidays are very amazing and cool. There are a lot of different facts and traditions behind these holidays. THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!
