Turn Back the Hands of Time
There are several different holidays throughout the year, which are celebrated in a
variety of ways. 
The holiday represents different things to different people cause of religion, culture,
or family traditions. Although some people may not be able to be around family the
remembrance does not go unnoticed. Most everyone has a favorite holiday that inspires
fond memories, which may be happy or sad.
Abigail's favorite holiday is 4th of July. She enjoys the fireworks displays that are put
on by various merchants or individuals. For example, as a child she remembers a very well
to do family putting on a huge fireworks display every 4th of July for the community. As
a child she liked the thrill and anticipation that the next rocket provide as it was
launched into the air. For instance, the bright, beautiful colors and the loud cannon
like booms bring squeals of delight and pleasure from the crowd. Although she has seen
several fireworks displays, her childhood memories are the greatest ones she has ever
experienced.
Sad as it may be Memorial Day is Mark's favored one. While some people don't realize the
impact of this mournful day he does with deep sadness. He recalls with sorrow the day his
mother was notified his father had been killed in action during the Vietnam War. He
honors this day with great pride. For instance, each year he participates in the Memorial
Day parade and visits the Vietnam Wall in dedication to his father and those who perished
along with him. Although painful this day reminds him what his father gave in the name of
freedom.
Christmas is the most pleasurable holiday for me. This holiday renews a fond memory of my
childhood. For example, the smell of a fresh cut tree reminds me of the times my father
and me went to find a tree for the Christmas season. The family gathering to share in the
holiday meal was by far the best. For instance, the aroma of Grandmother's fresh baked
homemade rolls permeated the air, indicating mealtime was near.
As you can see holidays are enjoyed for special reasons. Although not everyone will enjoy
the same holiday for the same reason, most everyone cherishes a favorite holiday because
of unique feelings. Even considering when being closed to loved ones is impossible that
special holiday arouses some of the fondest memories, which might even be sad.
