Best Holiday

Listen to six people talk about their favorite holiday in their home country.

Kat / Germany
speakerIn my home country, Germany, I think the best holiday is Christmas. Christmas season is amazing. We have many markets especially for Christmas. Christmas time normally comes with a lot of snow and an amazing atmosphere. My mom makes cookies, and we have lots of friends and family over to our house, so it's a wonderful time.

Phoebe / China
speakerWhat is your country's best holiday? I think in China the best holiday should be the spring festival. It is the main festival in China, and the families always get together, and the children can get their red pack with the money put in, so everybody likes that holiday.

Isma / Indonesia
speakerMy country's best holiday, I think, would be the Ramadan month, just because it is the holy month and everybody is usually pretty nice, and usually have a longer holiday on it, maybe around two weeks or something. So, the Ramadan month would be the best holiday for me.

Antoinette / United States
speakerI'm from the U.S., so I would say the best holiday would be maybe Thanksgiving, although there are some aspects of that holiday that I don't like. I don't like the overeating, but I do like the fact that families get together and talk about reasons why they're thankful for being together and for having family.

Rese / Botswana
speakerMy country's best holiday would have to be the Christmas-New Year period, because that's the time when your family gets together and you cook and you make traditional meals and you see your friends. There's a lot of stuff going on in the village and other places, as well as the city.

Tony / Mozambique
I'll say the best holidays are Independence Day and Christmas. Independence Day, it's because that's where we achieved our freedom. And Christmas, that's when family get together to celebrate.
