Holidays

I read a poem about Thanksgiving.  It was written by a regular person expressing their feelings about the holiday.  I think it shows the true meaning if Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is about giving thanks to your family and loved ones.  It is a time to show your thanks for everything you're thankful for.  The poem talks about visiting family, which is something I do as well.  The writer also lists a few things he/she is thankful for that she usually doesn't say on a daily basis, which is what my family does at dinner on Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  We only have Thanksgiving in the United States, but other countries and religions celebrate other holidays as well.  Even though there are many different holidays, a lot of them are in honor of something that happened i the past to honor it or remember it.  Thanksgiving is about the day when the Pilgrims came to America and had a feast and were thankful to the Native Americans who helped them.  Christmas is to remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus.  The 4th of July is to remember and celebrate our independence. Every holidays is special in a different way to all different kinds of people.
