I decided to write my first blog ever about my favorite holiday and why it should go down in history as the best holiday ever. To begin I would like to state my background on holidays. My birthday is on St. Patrick’s Day, my mother’s is on Flag Day, and my brother’s is sometimes is on Thanksgiving, Christmas is always a challenge, and can you count how many people actually remember New Year’s Eve. So let us start at the beginning of the year and go through each holiday to find the evidence that Thanksgiving is truly the greatest holiday champion.

New Year’s Day, January 1st, the first official day of the new year to be hungover or wrapped up in college football games or the Rose Parade. Then there is every male’s favorite holiday Valentine’s Day, February 14th, we all know that Hallmark made this holiday up and no one ever has a good time. Next is one that should also be know as “Irish people are born drinkers Day”, St. Patrick’s Day, my second favorite in the line of holidays because it was the day I was born. Following St. Patty’s Day is Easter, and to be honest the reason I do not like this holiday is because most people serve ham and I do not like ham. (Disclaimer: most of my criteria for the Best Holiday revolves around food). The next holiday, I bet, most people do not even know exists, Flag Day, June 14th, basically we do nothing on this day. Now we have the ultimate in Patriotism, Independence Day, July 4th, also known as the highest number of Emergency Room visits Day. Need I explain more. Moving on to Halloween, October 31st, who doesn’t like to dress up and each a bunch of candy in a fantasy world? I will go into detail about Thanksgiving, 3rd Thursday of November, later on in this blog. And finally we have Christmas, December 25th, there are two ways to look at Christmas, the religious way, and the greedy way.

And now we get to dive deep into what makes Thanksgiving the ultimate Holiday. Let us start with the food, who can resist the mouth watering, golden bird, the turkey. There are many ways to cook the bird, but in the end it is all the same and delicious. Then you have all the trimmings mashed potatoes, stuffing, “cornbake” (a delicious chunky cornbread), some kind of green vegetable, and our favorite Pumpkin Pie. With all this you get an entire day to be glutenous and give thanks to things that you normally take for granted every other day. So case in point the reason that Thanksgiving is the best Holiday is basically because of delicious food and to give thanks for things.

Now that we are well knowledgeable around what makes ai holiday the best, let us take the time and give thanks for Thanksgiving.
