In america there are several holidays that bring families together to share each others' presences ranging for dressing up in scary costumes, going door to door asking for candy, to searching fields for candy and hardboiled eggs that have been hidden by the "easter bunny". In my personal opinion, in years past i have found halloween to be my favorite because it involves dressing up as monsters and receiving free candy, but as years have past, christmas has grown to be my favorite. There are three great aspects of christmas to me, those being giving gifts, receiving gifts, and spending time with family that you may only occasionally get the opportunity to visit with.
