by Taylor Masterson, Grade 7

What you do on this holiday is celebrate your name by bringing in a meal that starts with the letter of your name.  Since, my name is Taylor; I could possibly make tacos, tamales, or even toasted raviolis. When you arrive at your Name Day house you set down your dish and start talking about the origin of your name or why you received it.  So for example I would say, "Hi, my name is Taylor and my dad chose this name for me because it was the name of his favorite golf club, Taylor Made." After that you will all enjoy dinner. While you are doing that you will guess who made it depending on the name of that dish.  The person who guesses the most dishes right, will win a gift certificate to a restaurant that starts with the same letter of their name. Finally, everyone will leave and go back to their house.  While they are there you can think about how special you and your name really are.
