Introduction
The Independence Day, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. These are just a few of the national holidays people in America celebrate. However, the real question is, why aren't there more of them? Holidays like April Fools' Day are actually unofficial, believe it or not. Even if they are unofficial, some of these holidays are still important to some people. There is even a Make Your Own Holiday Day that is usually celebrated on March 26.
I think that it is actually a good thing that we do not have too many holidays.Wonderopolis states,"Plus,too many holidays would make the most important holidays seem less special." My family's celebration of Christmas and Thanksgiving would be a lot less meaningful if there were a lot more holidays, like it, celebrated at around the same time. Besides, it can take a long time for a holiday to become official. History.com stated,"......Massachusetts, in 1621. More than 200 years later, President Abraham Lincoln declared the final Thursday in November as a national day of thanksgiving. Congress finally made Thanksgiving Day an official national holiday in 1941." If it took Thanksgiving that long to become an official holiday, imagine how long it would take for a holiday to be made official, today. Christmas took even longer than that to become a national holiday.
