=== What is your favorite holiday? Why? Tell something about the customs, traditions and/or food that you especially enjoy which are associated with this holiday and what their origins are. Using the internet, find a link that provides information about either the holiday itself or an interesting aspect of it. Also, you will need to find an image to include with your text. === === My favorite holiday is Christmas. In particular I like Christmas Eve because it is a time that is both social and private. I like the quiet reflection that the religious aspect of the holiday prompts, especially in church at Midnight or waiting to join family and friends for a Christmas Eve dinner. I like the Christmas Carols on the radio and the anticipation of the next day in terms of gift exchanges and the celebration of spiritual joy. At around 6:30 my family gathers for a traditional fish and shellfish dinner, usually at my sister's house. Before 11:00 we leave to attend a candlelight service at the Congregational Church. ===
