       In honor of Holiday season, I will be writing about the best holiday of all time. Like always there is a certain criteria to be the best holiday, and that is: holiday originality, holiday participation, and holiday food. 

        To start with holiday originality, you must know what that means in my definition. What is the original purpose and meaning behind the holiday. The most commonly known Holidays for their origin is Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and for good reasons too. Easter with the rising of Jesus again, and Christmas with the birth of Jesus. Then Thanksgiving with the feast between natives and explorers. But the holiday with the best purpose in my opinion is Christmas not only because it’s a celebration of Jesus Christ, but also because it’s a holiday that brings everyone together. No matter what it’s almost impossible to be mad on Christmas. It’s a holiday where everyone takes a pause from the real world and gets together with friends and family. 

         Then we move on to the holidays with the most participation in the world. Of course we revert back to Christmas, Easter, and special holidays like Halloween. The participation in these holidays are massive, but not worldwide. The most celebrated holiday may come as a surprise for a few,but it is Mother’s Day. The reason I think it’s the most celebrated is because obviously everyone loves there mother, but it’s the most celebrated because there are more people with Moms than dads. Which is a sad fact but that’s why this holiday is so massive. 

         Lastly comes holiday food, which is not as important as the last two factors but it’s some peoples favorite thing about a holiday. There’s Easter with the signature candy, then Christmas with cookies and delicious meals. But the most signature holiday with overall best food is Thanksgiving. Even if turkey is not your thing thanksgiving has so many options to choose from to satisfy your needs. This Holiday is just above the rest with food and rightfully so since it started with a feast. 

          So this brings us down to the man question: “What is the best holiday of all time?” To answer that question you have to look back at my criteria and you will see that Christmas is the best. It has some of the best food, and  second most participation, and the best origin story. It’s just the best option for a holiday.
