Another one of my favorite holiday is Easter. I like Easter because I get to see my family. I also like Easter because I do a Easter Egg hunt with my cousin’s and my brother. One of our traditions is mom makes cookies with an hard-boiled egg in side. Here are two fun facts about Easter. The tallest chocolate Easter egg ever was made in Italy in 2011. 10.39 meters in height and 7,200 in weight, it was taller than an elephant! Also the UK’s first chocolate egg was produced in 1873 by Fry’s Bristol. Click here for more.

Now I will be talking about one more holiday. That holiday is New Years. I like New Years because I get a new start and I can get more organized. I also like it because I can hang out with my friends and family and have a party. Here are two facts about New Years, New Year celebrations are not new. The concept actually dates back to 2000 BC. The Mesopotamian used to celebrate New Year! Also 1st January as New Year was never a standard practice. Romans for instance celebrated March 1 as New Year. Some other cultures went for winter solstice or summer equinox. Click here if you want to see more.
I like a lot of holidays but these might be my top 3. Christmas, Easter, and New Years!
