Holidays

I read a poem about how someone perceives the holidays. It talked about the excitements and the events and adventures that he and his family go on each year. The author talks about how this situation is his holiday (for all we know, his holiday might just be a summer trip to a beach house).

I love the cheery bustle
Of children round the house,
The tidy maids a-hustle,
The chatter of my spouse;
The laughter and the singing,
The joy on every face:
With frequent laughter ringing,
O, Home's a happy place!

I really liked this stanza from the poem. I think that it is really descriptive and that it shows that the holidays don't have to be "perfect" to be perfect.

I think that the poem shows that holidays mean different things to different people. It is important to remember that the world is cultural diverse and that everyone has different views on holidays.
