New Years Day

New Years date all the way to the Mesopotamian tribe in Iraq where they believed on their calender that brought about new life and starting over. The Mesopotamian believed that every 12 months a new year had begun and that tradition has carried on. They decided on January because that was when season began to turn turn marking the 6 month period. Romans also had some work in this holiday dedicating this holiday to the God Janus who opened up gates and doorways which means new beginnings. They too declared January as the first month of the New Year also dedicating the month to Julius Caesar to honor his death.

New Years Day is always on January 1st and it celebrates the beginning of a new year and is also celebrated as a national holiday. In New York City, New Years is celebrated by the ball drop in Times Square where music, drinking, eating, and well kissing. What better way to start off the New Year with a big smooch to your wife, girlfriend, or friend. New Years is filled with mostly drinking and music because the combo of two is the best to have fun and fun is always good. Many people also start making resolutions where they decide to start something new for the new year either eating healthy quitting ciggaretts, drinking, eating junk food or even going to the gym. Happy New Years

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is on November 27th and is always on a Thursday. My family celebrates thanksgiving by by hosting a dinner at my house where my aunt and my cousin comes over to feast with us, also close family friends come to celebrate too. On thanksgiving day we like to play football in our closest park which is M street Park. There is no football field so we play where the two softball fields meet. after that we go home to enjoy watching a real football game which this year our favorite game was Lions vs Bears because of my Aunt likes the blue lion on the helmet. As we watch we also sip on hot cider and continue to wait for the Thanksgiving dinner. At the feast we host my mom made a 23 lb butterball turkey, mashed potatoes, string beans, cabbage balls, baby carrots, peas, stuffing, gravy, squash, and to top it all off wheat buns. I hope you all enjoyed your Turkey Day!!!!!!!!!!
