Do Holidays Feel the Same?

Maria Garcia, Staff Writer

Holidays don’t feel the same because after experiencing them for so long it just gets old and honestly, it the same thing every year. Take this past holiday for example, New Year’s, you see people celebrate it with beer, and food and parties. It’s like that holiday was only meant for adults, like what about us teens that are under 18 years old that don’t get to do what they want? Not only New Years but Christmas as well, I simply picked these holidays because they’re one of my favorites holidays.

People need to remember what a holiday is truly about because it ‘sad seeing that people don’t care anymore and that some don’t even realize it. I personally hate the fact that holidays from this generation feel like a normal day. We might have specials foods that we make or travel somewhere else, but it still feels boring and no spirit at all. I’m pretty sure that there’s some people out there who think the same as me because I’ve seen videos from YouTube who have done a great job of giving things to those who don’t have anything and that makes me want to do the same but if we don’t make an effort it would just be the same. Together we can help people realize the real spirit of a holiday and maybe we could bring the happiness back.

I want the old holidays and spirit to come back because without the spirit, it will just feel empty and I’m pretty sure people know what I’m talking about. There are a lot of people who didn’t enjoy last year’s past holidays. Social media would say it all, lots of people said that they were goanna be on their phones and just eat and that’s all for that holiday. I personally felt the same and it wasn’t pretty it was really boring I just wanted to go out even if we didn’t have any money at least like in the beach or park.

Do holidays nowadays really feel the same? I don’t think so because the way I see it is just too sad to be true and if we don’t do anything about it, soon the holidays will just be like a normal day, but not that It will but I personally think that’s just how these days are going to be.
