Holiday Favorites

 My favorite Holidays are NewYears, Valentines, St Patrick's day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

So why only these 6? 

It's because:
                   ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ NewYears = renewal of not just the year but also of ones determination into becoming more Christ like๐Ÿ˜
                    ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’Valentines = the actual day I proposed to my wife, I actually forgot that it was valentines when I decided to ask her to marry me; so lucky me with so many others, when she said yes. Quite the marriage it's been so far too.๐Ÿ˜Š
                    ๐Ÿ€☘️St.Patrick's day = imagination, but I also think of that part of my heritage, for my ancestors who lived in that country, and yet had a lot to be happy about with all their trials and tribulations of challenges they faced in their lives, so very grateful for them.
                   ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ’Easter = a spiritual rebirth because of a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, through whom we can receive much joy, peace, comfort, love and most of all resurrection and eternal life. ๐Ÿ˜ Because He died, we shall live! 
                   ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸThanksgiving = the day of giving thanks, for all that we have, even life itself; celebrating the holiday with family and friends eating a feast, as we all reflect the months of January to October, being grateful for every moment we struggled with challenges, trials and opposition, for its through those that we grow and become more who we are meant to become in the eternities.
                   ๐ŸŽ„☃️Christmas = I love a lot of things for this holiday, starting with Family! Gathering with extended family reignites those relationships that seem to be put on hold after we part each time; meanwhile, having the last name of Carroll continues to remind me of all the wonderful songs and the beginning of our Saviors birth, his life and how he lived is the greatest example we all can follow. For if we all emulate what he taught, our world wide family would be rid of the wickedness and able to bless each other's lives even more. This holiday season is the second time in the year that we can spiritually renew our devotion, though we are able to do it throughout the year each day, by repenting of those things as guided by the spirit, lifting us up to the renewal of a new year.

If these are some of your favorites, maybe I've touched one the same reasons why they are your favorite holidays too.
