That are religious or part of a different culture or something that was special when you were really little because you get candy or presents or something. Like Easter. "ITS JESUS MAN LETS MAKE A HOLIDAY AND HIDE PEOPLE'S EGGS SO THEY HAVE TO GO FIND THEM YEAH." At least some holidays are actually important to us, like Independence Day! You know what, here's a list of crazy holidays [which is probably most of them] and sane holidays:
Sane
Independence Day / 4th of July -- this is the day we gained our independence from Britan and earned the reuptation of a free nation. It's a day where we can come together for an evening and celebrate, dispite our background, because we are all Americans.
Veterans Day -- there have been many people who have fought and died in the wars over the years, many of them unnamed. Showing support to the people who risk their lives to protect us doesn't seem like too much to ask.
Halloween -- I'm not sure what this one is for, but it doesn't hurt anybody and you get candy.
Thanksgiving -- This is when the Pilgrims sat down with the Indians for a feast of thanks. The Pilgrims were one of the first settlers in America, and they carried the American dream long before it existed : freedom. Plus, we get food. Really really good food.
Weird
Easter -- Unless you're religious, unlike me, then this day may be special [I mean, JESUS!! I'ts a big deal right??], but it isn't really for me. Egg hunts were fun when I was really little, but now it's just meh. [JESUS]
Christmas -- Another religious thing, and if you're not religious, like me, then it's a present thing. And a family thing I guess. [presents are awkward sorry]
Washington / Lincoln's Birthday -- we get a day off of school for this???? srsly wtf -_-;;
St. Patrick's Day -- I may be Irish, but I'm not really legal drinking age and if I forget to wear green I'll explode. Joy.
okay well that's all of the holidays I can think of, and If I offend you, then read the bible or something O__o

Halloween used to be a pagan holiday where people would dress up as scary creatures to scare away evil spirits. So yeah, it's technically religious.
ReplyDeleteBecause November 1st was New Years, they "chased off evil spirits" for the new year. So it's more cultural than religious.
ReplyDeleteI like having Lincolns Birthday off. >.<
< because it's my birthday >
