My favorite holiday is Thai. I usually celebrate it with my family at home at the beginning of the year. During this holiday, we clean and decorate the house, visit relatives, and enjoy the steady snowfall. I like this the most because it brings everyone together and gives us time to relax and wish for good luck in the new year.
