My favorite holidays are ¨The Day of the Dead,¨ and ¨Christmas.¨ These are my favorite holiday because you get to reunite with your loved ones that have passed on and becuase you get to hang out with family and open presents that they give you.
My favorite holiday would be Christmas, because well when we have Christmas at our house, our tradition would be to first get some good food. Our Jadun ( Grandfather in Arabic ) would cook fried chicken and potato salad with a side of fries, there are times where he would also make cheese burgers, He makes the BEST rootbeer floats, it has vanilla ice cream with caramel dressing and fudge with root beer, but he always buys at least 2 bottles worth of root beer. Then, we would have a movie marathon, so it would go oldest to youngest in rock paper scissors, ( which my grandparents go first ☠ ) and then to the youngest ( which is my bratty little brother, 👀 ) then I would win ALL THE TIME. I was a champion of winning movie marathons, because I chose the best movies, then after that we play a game of Mario Kart, (On my Nintendo, 💔 ) and then who ever won the game in the first 6 races gets the hugest root beer float and a shopping spree ( Now that was just my aim for the game because I won $$$) and after the winner gets their prize we pick a chill movie to watch, after that we go to bed ( well SOME of us. ) I stay up till 6am on Christmas weekends and sometimes even longer than that! When Its Christmas morning, I always sleep downstairs because that’s where Jadun sets up the cookies and milk, whoever gets to the cookies first gets to open their present first. ( I GOT THE COOKIE FIRST 🍪🍪🍪🍪 ) then after that, I got my first 2DS along with my Wii U and other stuff. This is why Christmas is my favorite holiday.
My favorite holiday is Halloween because I can be scared of people, I can stay up all night, and I also can eat candy. My family traditions are before Halloween my family party and give out candy. When it’s Halloween day my mom’s or my dad’s side of the family goes trick or treating with us, and we sometimes go to towns that give so much candy. So that is my favorite holiday.
My Favorite Holiday is Christmas because I can spend time with my family and I can all get gifts like money, and new games. Also I can eat Christmas dinner like Mac and cheese, ham and many more things and I can eat it with my family. I love spending time with my family but one thing I love more is getting gifts because I get new things like games and money the only thing is the socks. It is all so funny because I can stay up late and play my new games. I love to get my gifts but I still have to give too I hate going shopping for Christmas because it takes hours and hours. I play games on Christmas with my family and we all drink hot chocolate because it is cold outside I love drinking hot chocolate with my family on Christmas. Therefore That is why Christmas is my Favorite holiday of all time.

My favorite holiday is Halloween because I could dress up and there is free candy. Its also really nice when the time of spooky season comes so I could watch Halloween movies like Halloween town or any spooky movies.
