Christmas Lights

 Every year, families decorate their homes with lights for the holidays. It's enjoyable to observe the streets and see all the different colors. People put up Christmas lights to keep traditions, to follow the mood of the holiday, and to earn bragging rights.
  Ask someone why they put up Christmas lights. The first answer to go to their heads would probably be,"We do it every year." Christmas lights were first used in the late 1800s, but that's a different story. The whole point is, Christmas lights have been used for generations. Seeing Christmas lights is a childhood memory that everyone just wants to carry on.
  Christmas lights have become a major part of the holiday, so it's only natural that we follow the mood. Imagine December 25th without Christmas lights. For some awkward reason, you stuffed a tree in your house and put a bunch of boxes under it. Why would you put a tree in your house? There's plenty outside. It's just not the same without the lights.
  Maybe this isn't everyone's reason, but many people decorate their houses for bragging rights. All the time, there will be news articles about people decorating their house with extreme amounts of lights and decorations. Even if others don't mean to catch the attention of anyone that passes by, they probably wouldn't mind a compliment or two about how well they decorated their house.
  The lights are one of the things in the Christmas season that everyone enjoys. They're used everywhere, and have become a thing for everyone to enjoy. People decorate their homes with them for traditions, and it's something that everyone is used to seeing every year. Others can't handle the holiday passing by without seeing Christmas lights, since it's a major part of the mood. Last, some do it to show off and compete against their neighbors for bragging rights. We all have our reasons, but I think we can all agree that Christmas lights are one of the things to enjoy each year around this time.

Halloween

 Hello again~ Halloween is coming up, so I decided to write my speech about it this week! I don't plan on dressing up and so far have not planned on doing anything with my friends, but I got a little kit to mess with makeup so I might do something with it, and just stay home and give candy. Here's my speech!

 Halloween is a day to spend with friends, family, and even complete strangers. This is why it is fun to celebrate halloween.
  Halloween is a social day. All night, people of all ages take over the streets and socialize. People are always asking for candy, complimenting each other's costumes, or even just making friends. It's the perfect day to make friends with a complete stranger.
  One thing I look forward to every year is an opportunity to see people in costumes. Parents always love to dress up their children in the cutest things possible. Teenagers try their hardest to creep out whoever opens the door to them. It's a day for everyone to show their creativity.
  Whether you're giving or taking, there is candy everywhere. Everyone staying at home hopes that there is a little left over candy to keep for themselves, and those going out visit as many homes as possible to have a bigger chance of receiving their favorite sweets.
  Halloween is a fun day for everyone of any age group. It's a time for people to socialize, show their creativity in costume, and give or take candy!

  I've tried one makeup look and just gave myself a shark mouth, but I want to try a bunch of different things! I would make a costume and more, but I don't want to spend much money :P Maybe if I go to a convention or something.
