( My writing is for a writing workshop. )
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving Day. In my home country, we have two big
holidays nationwide. One is Happy New Year; the other one is Thanksgiving
Day. Nevertherless, I prefer Thanksgiving Day to Happy New Year.
Below are my reasons.
First of all, I can visit my father's tomb with all my family during the holiday.
My husband had been too busy to go to the place where my father is buried.
Furthermore, My father's grave is placed on a steep hill in heart of a mountain.
We have to go through the bushes and make our way though the forest.
The road may be frozen near the Happy New Year times. So, it's the best time
to visit there on Thankgiving Day.
Second., it's so pleasing to me to expect my mother-in-law's happy face.
Te family of my husband used to be a big one until all children grew up
and got married. Now, she became the only person living in the big apartment
since last spring when my father-in-law passed away. I have been concerned
about her might-be-loneliness. Her grown-up children don't skip to gather altogher
on the Thanksgiving Day even if they are busy. I am sure she is happy even though
for only several days.
Third, It's my pleasure to see my husband become energentic again.
My husband is in a workaholic. I 've been persuading myself in order not to
feel the bad feelings because I am certain he is also enduring his life for our family.
The Tanksgiving day is the offical holiday that he can take a rest. It is very helpful
for him to get some energy.
Thanksgivig Day is the blessing day which brings much happiness to me.
I can't stand imagining the friendly atmosphere and warm conversations that day.
I am looking forward to the coming Thanksgiving Day.
