Christmas

Christmas is probably my favorite season of them all for several reasons. One being that usually it snows around the Christmas time and that sometimes leads to late starts and cancellations of school, which are kinda nice. Snow is also fun to play in, snowmobile, as well as changing the landscape from the boring cardboard brown fall to the majestic icy canvas. It also has draw backs like having to shovel your driveway.

Another thing is that Christmas you find many people are much more cheerier than they are the rest of the year. It brings a feeling of good greetings and giving. I love the feeling of carefree that surrounds me around this time of the year. It changes bad situations to not so bad ones. The Christmas music we have all grown to love is always happy, sometimes just rambling on about happy things. You also can't beat the feeling of opening up the perfect gift or watching the expression of someone as they open the presents you have given them.

The last thing which to me should be the most important is giving. Sometimes you give because you feel obligated, but it should be a joy to. We all have so much we aren't thankful for and take forgranted when people in other parts of the world and different situations have little to nothing to survive on. During this great time of the year we need to not only focus on the festivities, but also give to others less fortunate.

Thanksgiving

What a joyous time of year. Great food. Meet old friends and family. How about those great deals on Black Friday? The premiere shopping day in the whole calendar year for many people. There is so much to be thankful for, and many times we over look it. When I wake up in the morning I have hot water for my shower. I have breakfast. I have all the necessities to get ready for the day, and everything for the day.

I think we should be thankful more than once here or there. We should be thankful for everything we have every single day. I notice this quite a bit, that many people, including myself treat everyday as a normal thing, but everyday has something different than yesterday had. We should be thankful everytime we can.

Thanksgiving is usually only celebrated in the United States. Why not spread the joy and happiness to all parts of the world. Thanksgiving is more than remembering how the Pilgrims and Indians had a wonderous feast, it's about being happy for what you have. It's about seeing your uncle or grandma you haven't seen in over a year. Everyone should celebrate Thanksgiving.
