We have many holidays that we all celebrate through the year and most of these are children friendly holidays. Once we become adults we no longer need the idea of Santa Claus or the the Easter bunny. That is why these holidays are for our children. Of course we can enjoy them as well but they are mostly for the kids. Our kids can even learn very important lessons from holidays.
Well that is simple they learn the life lesson that giving is so much better than receiving. Of course as kids they do not realize this, all they know is that they want gifts and they do not want to give gifts to anyone else. Some of us are lucky enough to have kids that have a kind heart and learn early on that giving is better than receiving.
Christmas is probably one of the most kid friendly holidays that we celebrate. Our children wake up on Christmas morning and rush to the Christmas tree to start opening gifts and digging through their stocking full of goodies. Easter is another favorite holiday for children. Kids love getting to dye Easter eggs and then have an Easter egg hunt. They get to dress up in their nicest clothes and get their Easter baskets the Easter bunny left behind for them.
The whole family can enjoy Easter together. Watching your children as they race around trying to find all the hidden Easter eggs is an amazing sight. That is an innocent and pure moment in your child's life. Now we move on to yet another child friendly holiday which would be Halloween. Kids love to pick out their costumes and get dressed up as someone or something different. Trick or treating is also a lot of fun for the kids but as parents we must be careful. There are people in this world that would hurt our children if they had the chance. We have to supervise them closely on this holiday.
When you take your kids out trick or treating it is best to stay in lighted areas and in neighborhoods that you know. A lot of churches are even starting a new thing where they pass out candy from the trunks of cars in the church parking lots. The members of the church get together to host this event so that the children will be safe.
This is a much safer alternative than walking dark streets at night and knocking on strangers doors for candy. We tell our kids from a young age to never talk to people they don't know and to never take candy from someone they don't know but when Halloween comes around we take them to strangers houses and let them get candy. This is not a very logical or safe approach.
Jewish kids have a holiday they celebrate it is called Hanukkah. This Holiday last eight nights and eight days. The kids get a gift each night of Hanukkah. They light the hanukkiyah to celebrate their holiday. This is lit every single night for the entire eight nights. Children play a game called dreidel during this holiday, it is quite popular in the Jewish community.
They also feast on fried foods during the holiday because this holiday is to celebrate the miracle of oil. So as you see there are many different types of children friendly holidays. As parents we have to do our part to make sure that the kids have a great holiday. Even when we can not give much in the way of gifts we can still do other things to make it a special holiday. Most kids would agree that Hanukkah and Christmas are their favorite holiday.
