My favorite public holiday is Novruz because it lasts about two to three days. Firstly, this holiday has a different vibe. I mean, it's a special one because everyone in the country is celebrating it, and the desserts we have during this holiday are very tasty, like kohal, pahlava, shekherbura, and others. That's why my favorite holiday is Novruz, and it's better to spend time with your favorite people and play the egg game.
