My Favorite Holiday

My favorite holiday is Independence Day. I like the patriotic atmosphere that surrounds the holiday and I also like that it falls on July 4th, during the summer, which is my favorite season. It is also a day where all Americans can come together and celebrate. On other holidays, such as Christmas, people are always stressed about buying gifts, cooking, and catering to visiting family members. On Independence Day however, people are much more laid back and it's always a relaxing day. Every year, my family always has a barbecue and we have a huge water gun fight. Then, much like many other Americans, we finish the day by watching the fireworks displays.
