Family and Holidays
Luba Msuku
Holidays
Holidays are for being lazy. And watching TV all day and night.
They are for surfing on big waves. Playing in mud and getting dirty. Watching DVD’s. They are for spending time with your family. Swimming with your friends. Making cupcakes with your mom. And flying kites. Having picnics with your family. Watching clouds. Or sitting under a tree. Playing with your brother. Spending time with sister. And going to the beach. And collecting sea shells. Making necklaces. Picking flowers. Making fairy gardens. And going to the park.
I love holidays!!!!!

Holidays are for sleeping late. And swimming with friends. They are also for planting plants in the garden.
And making sand castles on the beach. They are also for eating ice-cream with my family. And making mud pies. They are for catching butterflies with my sister. They are also for going on rollercoaster’s. And climbing high Mountains. They are for climbing trees. And going fishing.
I love holidays.

Holidays are for flying a kite on a windy day. And doing puzzles with my Gran.
And swimming in the pool. Having a sleepover with my friends. Seeing my cousins.
Looking at rain with my sisters. And watching clouds.
Holidays are for surfing on big waves. And collecting sea shells.
Watching TV all day. And having ice-creams with my friends.
They are for making Scooby’s with my mum. And dressing up as a dog.
I love holidays.

Holidays are for rolling in the grass watching butterflies. And for watching television all day. And camping with my Dad.
Holidays are for daydreaming. Getting pies for my Mum.
For riding my bike. They are for climbing up a mountain. Baking a chocolate cake with my Mum.
Playing with my Dad’s computer. Painting pictures.
Surfing on the beach, and fishing with my Dad.
Making fairy gardens and pretending to be a princess.
I love the

    School holidays are meant to be family time. The regular schedule does not allow children to intermingle with their parents and families. Holidays are a time for family out-door activities too. In this time, parents can take children on an expedition. Such out-door fun activities enhance the knowledge and widen the scope of thoughts. They also helps in getting closer with the family. They also help in sharing thoughts and gaining some extra information from parents and others, all these things cannot be learnt in schools and classrooms.…

    It’s that time of year again when all of us college students leave our stress behind and head home for Thanksgiving break. It is one of those breaks we look forward to since the beginning of the semester, each for our own reasons. Many of us look forward to spending some quality time with our relatives while others look forward to finally enjoying a home-cooked meal. Simply being granted the opportunity to spend one’s time however we see fit is a gift in itself for some of us. Some students engage in specific activities during the break while others enjoy not having any plans whatsoever. Each student engages in their own holiday traditions with their loved ones. After interviewing a few students at the University of Texas at Austin, it is evident that every family has their differences and similarities in the way they celebrate during the holidays.…

    Holidays: Three Wiseman’s Day which is January 6 is when kids gather grass into a box and leave it under their beds for the camels so the wise men leave presents and La Noche de San Juan( San Juan Night)or Saint John’s Night which is exactly midnight between June 23 and 24, on the eve of his birth day, people walk backward into the ocean and fall backwards into it.

    Holidays are always celebrated no matter religion, beliefs, or culture. Some are recognized more than others but none two are as highly recognized like the cherished Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays. The pair may seem vastly different, as they are two completely separate occasions, but in actuality they do share very similar attributes. Many of the similarities and differences are about to be explained, so here goes.…

    Holiday to me, mean well needed time spent with my family. Now, don’t get me wrong, I see my family a lot- I just don’t see all of them at once. Thanksgiving 2011 brought my family together more than it usually would. It was the year after we had lost my grandfather, and his brother in-law Richard (or Uncle Dickey as my cousins and I called him) had terminal lung cancer, with his health deteriorating quickly. Uncle Dickey was married to my grandfather’s sister, Lois. Pappy and Aunt Lois had the closest relationship of their nine siblings, and they were the youngest. Though Pappy’s family didn’t have very much money growing up, they always had each other. That’s why family was so important to me, because I was taught even when you have next to nothing; your family will be next to you. And so, losing my grandfather and finding out my Uncle was terminal, it felt like I was losing every one.…

    Christmas vs Thanksgiving

    • 979 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Christmas is one of the most incredible times of the year; snow on the ground, a warm fire in the living room, and twinkly lights around every turn. When I was young, I loved Christmas. Toys and treats had me in a daze for almost a week straight. I was a typical kid, and my focus during any holiday was, “What do I get? Who brought me presents?”. I never realized the true meaning of why we have holidays, other than presents, until I was seventeen years old. As I’ve started to see my family less and my co-workers more, I understand that the true meaning of holidays in general, is to spend time with our loved ones. Taking my new found wisdom into account, my opinion of the “best holiday of the year” has changed from Christmas to Thanksgiving. My views, including favorite holiday, have changed because my focus on what’s important has matured.…
