My favorite holiday is my birthday. The first reason I like it is that it's my special day. Everyone gives me presents in addition making my favorite food. Another reason is that I can see some friends. They come visit me. Other ones friends call me on the telephone or send a birthday card. My friend Jackie who is live in Chicago always sends flowers to me. This is the reason I like my birthday.
