Holiday

A Day.

A day of celebration or festivities. A day set aside to celebrate or remember something. A day often filled with traditions and rituals. Something that most everyone participates in. A day that the media uses in their favor. A day that stores use to make more money. A day where many families take off work and spend time with each other. A day many people prepare a special meal. But ultimately, just a day.

A season.

A season where several holidays occur in a short period of time. A season that is associated with good cheer and merry feelings for most. A season that brings on much business and planning. A season that stores look forward to. A season that has become controversial. A season that many celebrate in some way or form. But ultimately, just a season.

A Tradition.

A tradition where many spend time with extended family. A tradition where many travel long distances to see familiar faces. A tradition where many cook a certain and repeated food. A tradition where many go to church one of the few times in the year. But ultimately, just a tradition.

The Reason.

The reason that really always comes back to you. A reason that many people choose to ignore. A reason that has become controversial. A reason that people are trying to eliminate. A reason that is becoming illegal. A reason that is more meaningful than any in the world. A reason that means more than words can describe. But ultimately, more than JUST a reason.
