Festivals are important to humankind

Festivals of different kinds have been celebrated since the time of our ancestors. Most people are very supportive of festivals in their countries  and are always looking forward to upcoming festivities. I personally believe this to be something we should never give up as they are very important to us.

First of all, festivals represent our culture, which in turn, defines our country.  In this aspect, festivals are a way for us to express ourselves and for us to  preserve the ways of our ancestors. Furthermore, in the future, they would be an idea of our lifestyles to our descendants.

Secondly, celebrating festivals open the opportunity for people to spend time with their families. A lot of people who go to work get to spend very little time with their family. Though, when festivals are being celebrated, it is a holiday when people enjoy with their families. Festivals also open a chance for people to socialise with their friends and be more neighbourly. It also gives a chance for people to meet with distant relatives who they may only meet rarely in a year and improve family bonds.

In conclusion, it is very important to celebrate festivals. This is because the celebrations preserve our cultures and they improve our bonds with friends and family. These are all some of the reasons why I firmly believe that we should continue celebrating festivals and never give up on them.    (245 words)
