My Favorite Holiday

There are so many wonderful holidays in America, it is hard to decide on my favorite. I think that my favorite would be either Christmas or Valentines day. We have some pretty cool traditions for Christmas, to start we use an advent wreath and have a Christmas eve surprise. An advent wreath is where you have four candles, three that are purple and one pink one. Each candle symbolizes a week of preparation for Christmas, every Sunday four weeks before Christmas we light one of the candles. After all the candles are lit it;s Christmas. I love Christmas, but i like the night before even better because we get a visit from the elves, they always give us new pj's and a book. Also, you have all the anticipation for Santa who comes to reward all the good children. Lot's of people love the season because they get gifts but, i love it because the way people give others gifts, and instead of thinking of only themselves they show others they care. Christmas is a time of renewal of a strong love and strength to know you aren't alone. Valentines day to me is like a smaller version of Christmas especially for anyone who love one another. My Nana buys us presents and you send cute love cards. Also, if you like someone Valentines is the day to say so, it's a day to take a chance. Lots of people get roses and chocolates and everyone says i love you. Valentines is a time where people remember why they love each other and how thankful they are for one another s company.
