If the Congress wans to make a new national holiday it should be for the teachers that was a eacher for over thrit years. Teachers are crazy at times but thery still teach. "2 teach pluse 2 tough lives equals 4 ever." (funvsfun.com) Why are teachers so crazy? Ask them not other kids. Teachers are the reason kids get education.

If congress was to make a new holiday to embrace and celebrate it would be National Children’s Day because we all would be able to let out the child in us all, have the day of no worries, and be happy. Nothing would be better than being a kid again, and this would be the perfect day. I mean who doesn’t want to be a kid again; when you don’t have to worry, when you don’t have to be someone else, when you don’t get judged. National Childrens Day would be the most perfect day for us all.

If I could present my idea for a new holiday to celebrate, I would present the idea of Art day. There are over 7 billion people in the world and each one of us is greatly impacted by art each and every day. We are surrounded by all forms of art, even when we don't realize it and it is one of the most important things in almost everyone's life.

If congress gave me an opportunity to make a new holiday, I would probably chose the "Think Pink Walk". This event is where you would do a walk. For example about 2 or 2.5 Kilometer walk. Some people might make a donation. Most of the people that do this walk are most likely someone that has fought cancer.

If congress gave me the opportunity to create a new holiday i would be excited and would want to make it long. So we could could get out of school for a while. And i would call it think bright and live right. It would be a fundraiser that you would donate money if you could, and you would run a 2.5 mile race or walk.

If I would celebrate a Person as a new holiday, it would be Trevon Martin because he shot and killed for no reason when he came out the store with a bag of skittles in his hand a soda in his hand. All black people were mad when they saw that because that was racist to black people. Well, he did just shoot the boy because he was black. Now, that was some really racist stuff. I'm just celebrating this one because all black people were happy when they put the shooter of Trevon Martin in jail, but mad when they let him loose. He should stayed in jail for life.

If congress gave me an opportunity to make up a holiday it would have to be National Charity Day. It would be where everyone has a choice to give money to a charity of there choice. Some people all ready do that but for the people who dont would have a choice to send money in. The money you would send in would be for a good cause.

if there was a new national holiday it should be national teachers day. It should be in may when school is ending to have this holiday. on that day you could give thanks to teachers for what they have taught you over the year and just appreciate teachers for that day.

I believe that Theodor Seuss Geisel should be honored with a national holiday in the United States. He has done so much to help his country and to create wonderful art work that is still enjoyed to this day. Dr. Seuss is Theodor’s most common name and Dr. Seuss has made a whole new way to look and receive art. He has made it to wear you can look at art in a very different way than it was looked at before. For the change he brought in art I believe he should be honored with a national holiday on March 2nd every year.

If the congress wanted to make a new holiday for a person or a event. I would choose a national cancer day. People go through cancer everyday day of their life and I think that it would be a great thing to do if we had a national cancer day and everybody goes out and does stuff in your city to support the ones who have cancer. Also as they do this we should raise money for the hospital where they can buy new supplies and other to to help people out when they are going through cancer.

National Holidays. Wouldn't it be nice to make one. Well if I get the chance to, I know the perfect man to make it on. He was a Preacher, Father, Friend, and Husband. He passed away lest year in a car accident. But when someone dies, we shouldn't think of the things we didn't like about him, but the good.He preached at the same church for 25 years as the Senior Pastor. He was passionate at what he does and was pretty good at it too. When he died, we found sticky notes on his desk with motivational phrases on them and one of them said, "You become stronger when you become weaker, when you surrender yourself to God, you discover the recourses to do what God requires."

Some people enjoy Math, some people don't. But one did enjoy it so much he became obsessed with Math. Albert Einstein! He was our Math creation. Without it we wouldn't be smart, we wouldn't be curious, and we wouldn't learn. About everything has to do with Math. He was the creator of the famous equation, "e=mc2." This was what connected everything together. Albert Einstein was the one to create our minds. We should thank him by making a holiday for him. The holiday should be called ,"Einstein Day."

If I could create a new holiday honnoring something I would choose to honnor the idea of “death days” I choose this because we celabrate the fact of peoples birth, so why not celabraet the idea of peoples death? I feel like our society is so negative torwards everyhting, and I understand the fact of mourning to peoples death but than again, shouldn’t we celabrate the life they at least had instead of crying over the fact that their life ended, I mean, at least you knew them right? Another reason I choose to celabrate this is because it makes us appricate the life we have and that’s an inportant thing. People compalin over the stupidest things but you have a life to live, vs the kids,adults, elders that don’t have a life to live anymore. It also gives us a chance to consider how lucky we are. People have near death experinces evevryday, and I feel like this holiday would help us be greatful of the life we have. Finnially, I know somepeople don’t believe in a after life, maybe people look at the afterlife as a was to ease the pain, but whats a better was to ease pain but than to celabrte that they are done there journey as a human and is now starting something new. Think about it, they have to go somwhere,right? So that’s it. If I couuld create a natinol holiday I would create 1day to honnor the dead.

If I could create a National Holiday, I would create a holiday that honors police officers and firemen. It would be for those living and alive. Firemen risk their lives to save people from fires. They also risk their lives for pets that are trapped. Police Officers protect civilians from risk. They stop unjustified events, and they keep our cities safe.

Our doctors do not get a day all to their selves to be thanked. Doctors are very important and need a national holiday. I believe that many doctors would appreciate having a day all about them. If our parents, grandparents, presidents, and so on get a day about them then our doctors need a day about them.

If the congress would make a new holiday I would say we need to celebrate people who have made it through cancer and those who are still fighting strong. It's sad. People are laying in hospital beds dying of a disease. Kids are fighting for their lives. Their families are devastated about the disease and they can't do anything to help them. We need to have one day when we go to our local hospital an just sit beside them. Make them happy. Show them you care. Encourage them that they will make it through. Don't let them feel lonely. We should do that everyday. We just need to celebrate that their alive and they fought this far in their life.

National party day should be a new holiday. Everyone in America has the same daily routine and their life gets boring. Yes, we have holidays that excuse us from work or school or even to spend times with our families. Even then a lot of people stay at home and do nothing but sleep since they have the day off of work or school. This is no way to spend a holiday.

Why should we create holidays about people? Why not the things that actually make this world beautiful and fit for us to live in?

If congress wants to make a new national holiday it should be called a Michael Jordan day cause he make so many shoes. People can have some shoes to wear all the time . And Michael Jordan wAs also a good basketball player that's why everybody like him.

If congress wants to make a new holiday then they should make it about Mary Baker Eddy. Why make the holiday about Mary Baker Eddy? She was a discoverer, founder, teacher and author. She is the discoverer and founder of Christian science. She is also founded the Church of Christ.

If Congress asked me to make another national holiday I would choose teacher appreciation day because they work their butts off to teach us each and every day. They provide us with education and in Effingham county we don't have to pay for it. They help us so much. I think they need a appreciation day. They take time out of their schedules to come to school everyday to teach us. This day should be on Febuary 5th.

I heard congress is considering creating a new national holiday. I also heard they can't decide who or what to create the holiday for. I was thinking about if I were in congress's position who or what would I choose.

If Congress asked you to create a National Holiday, what would you choose? How would you decide? This special day must represent something or someone very important. I would choose to honor the family and friends of people with disorders/diseases.

I believe that if Congress were to make a new holiday, it should make it baseball day. Now listen, baseball was named “America's Pastime”. So why shouldn't it have a holiday? Millions of people around the country watch the MLB. Just consider this.

There is simply every holiday you could have it seems. However, was there ever something to celebrate friendship among each other? Friendship, is a bond to where you could feel accepted by anyone other than family, which makes you feel welcomed by others. Which makes you feel as if you have another family of your own. It's so special, that it's hard to explain. Which is why "International Friendship Day" should be created.

I would like to nominate a certain holiday called Emmett Till Memorial Day! Why? For the simple fact that I believe that there aren’t enough holidays that celebrate the accomplishments of certain African Americans. Ok we may have black history month but during that month we truly only celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. They were not the only ones who have made names for themselves. Emmett was the jumpstart of the whole thing.

If congress made a national event or person I would choose people.with a a rare bone disease because not many people.get but what if the doctors that don't have the money to cure it and get money for the. Many people should start do blood drives and all but they don't think about the rare disease. Just because it makes u break easily don't mean anything I mean I'm pretty somebody is.trying or already has made a cure to get rid of this and all it takes is to make historical event and many people.should start donating.

If I were to make a holiday I would call it your day. On your day you you sit in a special chair and put a special helmet on and then you would travel to your mind scape and create your own world during this you will never be hungry, thirsty, or have to do anything else to survive on the outside or inside. On the inside of your your imagination you can control your own world basically you are a god of your world inside your imagination. You can go on an epic adventure or you can just do nothing. When the holiday ends they give you an early warning then after that they stop the helmets and you come back to real life before you go back to normal life they give you the next whole day to tell about what you did and get prepared for normal schedule and that is what congress should as one of our holidays.

Do you have a person in your life that has been very helpful to you and other people? Do you think that this person should have their own holiday? If you had the chance to make a national holiday in support for one person who would that person be?

If congress gave me a chance to create a holiday it would be called Heal a strangers Pain weekend. It would be when Doctors goes around the world healing people.They would not have to pay for it.It would only happen 3 times a year. They would get the most serious cases first and the least serious last. "People with the virus could go last and people with the flu could go first".

We need a National Titanic remembrance day. Their are many other things that deserve a day as well but the Titanic incident happened on April 15, 1912. This day proved much to man kind. It also created a love story that was and still is enjoyed by millions.

If congress asked me to pick a national holiday I would pick national Polo day because everyone would like to wear polo at school and anywhere. I would say yes to national polo day because I have polo that I can't wear to school.
