Christmas Persuasive Speech

Intro: In 1789, President George Washington offered the first Presidential Thanksgiving Proclamation for the newly formed United States of America. His proclamation began "Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor - and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."

WHAT: The holiday season is in full gear and the best way to get in the spirit this weekend is with Mokena's Christmas Fest. This jam-packed day will be full of Christmas fun for the whole family. Start the day off at Santa's workshop where your kids can create Christmas decorations, write letters to Santa and more while you start your Christmas shopping as you browse through a variety of local crafters and vendors. Enjoy a delicious lunch and then head over to see Santa to take a holiday picture while enjoying a magic and balloon show from Master Ron. Grab your newly crafted decoration and head outside to proudly hang it on the Village Christmas tree. Then head over to FNBC Bank to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and some cookies before you set off to join Santa for the annual parade of lights followed by some caroling. End your exciting day with the family Christmas dance where a DJ will supply the music and fun holiday vibes.

WHAT: Dress up your little ones in their cozy pajamas and slippers and bring them out for an evening of holiday fun. The elves are planning some reindeer games and holidays crafts along with a movie showing of "The Polar Express" movie. There will also be a very special guest in attendance for photos. A bedtime snack of cookies, popcorn and hot chocolate will be served.

Today is the day that many of us have been waiting on all year, it’s Thanksgiving! As we gather around the table to appreciate our family, friends and the joy of a perfectly cooked turkey, after a plate or two the familiar feeling of sleepiness will try to convince us to take a nap, but why? Popular belief points to eating turkey as the culprit as it contains the amino acid tryptophan, one of the nutrients that make up the building blocks of chemicals in the brain that make us sleepy. However, according to Live Science, experts say that the real culprit is the large amount of carbohydrates and alcohol we consume on Thanksgiving, citing that turkey can’t compete with all of the amino acids to possibly have a huge impact on our drowsiness.

Spring Break is coming up and it's a great time to relax, refresh, maybe clean out there. basement...wait, that's my to-do list.

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

December 14. “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” What is not to love about the holiday season? The endless gift shopping, the putting up of the Christmas tree (or decorations of whichever holiday you celebrate), the dinner that makes you feel as though you’ve gained another ten pounds. But best of all, for the little kids who celebrate Christmas, the ambivalent suspicion perpetually lurking behind their shoulders every day and night, suspense building up like the climax of a movie on the 24th, and excitement finally rushing free like a waterfall of elation on the 25th after a glance under the Christmas tree or inside the hopefully coal-free stockings: Am I on Santa’s nice list or naughty list?

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

Two of our fellow seniors, Curtis Robinson and Sumayyah Singletary, have taken the initiative to plan an unofficial class trip. The following is a message from them:

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
