Holiday Feast!

   For many people the Holidays are some of the most joyous days of the year!  Each and every holiday that is celebrated in the winter is celebrated in a different and unique way!  One thing that all of these holidays have in common is that they all involve some kind of huge meal.  

  Presents during Christmas have not always been around, but now days they seem like the most important thing to people!   Christmas has always been about religion, but in some ways I don't think it is anymore.  People are trying to overdo themselves from the years past!  This could be from decorations on the tree to the presents under the tree to even what they make for their Christmas meal. 

  Probably the most common holiday is Christmas.  During Christmas people celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.  Even though many people don't think about the meaning of Christmas all the time they still enjoy the holiday every year.  Meals during Christmas time often involve some type of meat.  Often this meat is turkey or ham, but people are coming up with new ideas for recipes  during the Christmas and many of the other holidays every year.  One of my favorite things to make during Christmas are Christmas Cookies!  I love rolling them out and cutting them out into different shapes.  Although I enjoy doing that the thing I love the most about making Christmas cookies is decorating them!  There are so many endless possibilities when it comes to decoration! 
  
   Other Holidays during the winter season are very important to other religions!  Food is also important to those Holidays!  It seems that the food that is made during those holidays are more traditional and stay more to how they were made many years ago. 

   Food is so important to all parts of the world!  Depending on where you live or what you eat, the culture of those people is also different.  Not knowing much about other cultures, I do know that each and every culture is distinctively different!

  Food is a part of almost everything we do and say! It is a part of the person who we are!  It makes us who we are!

Life without having food

Wouldn't life be so much simpler without food? Well I think so.

If no one had to eat there would be a large job decrease.  Just think about it!  If people didn't have to eat there would be no restaurants and without restaurants there would be no cooks, no waiters.  Also no one would own or run the restaurant either.  If animals did not have to eat either there would be no farmers because there would be no need to grow crops.  There wouldn't be any feed meals or elevators either.

Without food many factories would not exist.  Without food many other products would not be able to be made such as ethanol which is used to power farm equipment and some vehicles.

The way people think would be different as well.  No one would be thinking about eating or making food. Food would be nothing it would mean nothing.

Even If we had food there would be nothing to do with it except make things out of it.  Would people really know what to do?

If there were no plants, there would be no paper, and if paper never existed then people wouldn't be able to do homework or write down their thoughts.

Life would be very different if no one had to eat.

If there was no food would we even exist?  Would the word even exist?  Would there be anything but darkness?

What would the world truly be like without food? Would there even be life, or would it be a world of nothingness?

These are some things I have been thinking lately.  They are things I think everyone should think about.  Living inside a box is not a good thing for anyone! :P
