When we talked about holidays losing their value and meaning, I couldn't agree more. The way that the experience of different holidays has changed is almost sickening. I used to celebrate almost every single holiday with my family as I was growing up, but now it doesn't feel the same. It almost feels like they're being forced to come each holiday.
My favorite holiday every year is always Christmas. There's something about the Christmas season that always makes me happy. However, over the past couple years, the joy I get from Christmas has steadily gone away. Christmas now is just a commercialized holiday that everyone looks forward for it to be over.
Another holiday that I love celebrating is the 4th of July. As my feelings for Christmas are slowly fading away, I have started to love the 4th of July even more. What's not to love? Celebrating our country, having barbeques and cookouts, nice summer weather, and ending the night watching fireworks. It just seems like everyone is in a good mood and enjoys the day.
The spirit of most holidays is quickly fading away. Sitting back and watching how these things are changing is very hard to do because there is nothing I can do to stop it. I wish everyone was as enthusiastic about the holidays as I am and showed more spirit.
