free response #4-my favorite holiday

My favorite holiday is christmas.though i dont agree that it is exactly a religious holiday, it is a time to be greatful for your family and to enjoy all the things you have in life. it should be fun, full of family time and time spent with friends.it should also mean lots of food. no time to diet during the holidays! I enjoy it because it gives me a chance to spend time with the relatives that i love that i dont normally get to see during the rest of the year.I get to see my little cousins and how much theyve grown and spend time with them, playing board games or helping them set up mini bowling pins to play with. I also like the food, that i normally dont get to eat the rest of the year because some of it I only get on special occasions, especially the scandinavian foods, which being of all scandinavian decent(norwegian,swedish,danish) is a real treat(haha). I also love seeing my little cousins open up their presents on Christmas day and the pure joy they get from playing with their brand new toys.its not so much of a big deal what presents you get as you get older, its more fun watching the little kids enjoy theirs.I celebrate Christmas by getting together with my relatives,which usually includes flying out to North Dakota, where they all live, and having ALOT of good food, playing games, and just spending time with them. I really love my family so I am greatful for every moment I get to spend with them, especially around the holidays.
