My favorite holiday has got to be Ramadan because my family has a tradition of inviting each other over to our houses, taking turns every day. One day it's us, the next day it's my cousins, the third day it's my grandparents, and so on. I think it's a really nice holiday where the whole family gathers and shares favorite foods.
