Introduction
Greetings steemians, I'm john from Nigeria, how are you all doing today, hope you all are having interesting and good time with your loved ones and friends, it my pleasure having you guys in this weeks contest "Invent a New Holiday" from #steem4bloggers, I decided to take part in this contest to bring out my best.
From the above theme of the contest which says invent a new holiday, before moving forward I will like us to know the meaning of holiday.... according to oxford dictionary which defines holiday as a day of festivity or recreation when no work is done.
In my own understanding holiday is a free period of time where individuals stay off from work, it is given to people or citizens of a country to have rest and leisure with loved ones, and friends.
** Invent a New holiday **
If am given the opportunity to invent a new holiday the theme of the holiday will be Election Day Celebration that will be coming up every year, I don't know if that is done any where around the world but what know is that it not celebrated in my country Nigeria we only have election day which comes up every four years where citizens go to cast their vote only..and that's is not celebrated every year, by the Election is the process by which the people(electorate) select and choose their representatives by voting for their preffered candidate who will rule them. Election day was supposed to be celebrated every year because during the time of most the colonial leaders in Nigeria there was nothing like election even if there was it was between the colonialists themselves which did not give room for Nigerians to take part in it, then since they now have the right to vote for their leaders, election day should also be fix celebrated every year just like the way democracy day is celebrated as well(

What time of year would you choose for your holiday to take place?
Since the first election in Nigeria was held in 20 September 1923, I will choose and prefer election day should be celebrated on that day which is 20 September every year that's during the summer season.
Which activities would you include at that holiday related to fun or traditions?
There should be a lot of recreational activities like football matches and other sports activities to be Played among states and regions which will definitely bring peace, and unity among the citizens of the country, there should also be a movement of people to different parts of the country this signifies freedom, there should be different traditional and cultural display because in Nigeria there are different unique tribes and culture.
I have finally come to the end of this contest which I will like to appreciate the effort of the organizer @steemdoctor1 for this amazing contest and also those who came across my post.
I will like to call on the attention of my fellow steemians
