July Joy
What is your favoite holiday and what are some traditions you have?
Easy. A lot of people absolutely adore Christmas. It’s a time for family, gifts, delicious foods, you name it. But honestly, Christmas isn’t for me.
I believe there’s no holiday better than the 4th of July. There aren’t any gifts involved, and I really think that’s good. Americans have become so materialistic, there are so many more important things to live for. On the 4th of July, not only do I get to see my family, but I get to spend time with my friends. Laughing, playing, all under the warmth of the sun on a breezy summer’s day. Is there anything better?
On other holidays, people just stay inside. The 4th of July is different. Picnics, BBQ’s, and sports, taking in the true beauty of nature. And is there any better food? Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, soda, smores, all mouthwatering treats. But none of that can compare to the end of the day. In the last hours of celebration, I always watch the fireworks at my friend’s picnic under the starlit sky. The colors are awe-inspiring. How can any other holiday even begin to compare?
