Prompt: What is your favorite holiday or break and why?
My favorite holiday is Christmas, because it is a relaxing break from school and it is a time to be with my family. It is nice to get a two week break from school and not have to worry about doing any work. Usually over the Christmas holiday, I will go up to my camp with my family. I love to go up to my camp during the holiday when it has cooled down significantly, and I get to enjoy nature. One of my favorite things to do when it is cold at my camp is to sit by the fire, especially after going hunting in the morning.
Christmas isn't just a time of having fun or relaxing, it is also a time of celebrating. Every year on Christmas Eve, my family and I go to a church service to celebrate Jesus' birth. After the service we go to my grandparents' house and eat dinner with the whole family. Every year my grandparent's would make gumbo on Christmas Eve. After dinner we do a gift exchange with many funny gifts. This is my favorite tradition, so I hope it never goes away and that my family will continue doing it.
I agree with you that Christmas is my favorite holiday too. I also like the tradition in your family and glad you like it a lot.
