celebration parties In recent years, there has been an increase in the amount of money spent on all sorts of celebrations such as wedding and birthday parties. Some people think it is essential, individually and collectively, while others think it is not worthwhile. On one hand, celebrating a wide variety of events brings us happiness and makes our life memorable. First of all, birthday and wedding are important events of personal life. For example, I still feel excited and happy when I recall the scene of my wedding, which witnessed the love between my wife and me. In addition, a country also needs some common things which all citizens can have together. To some extent, the celebrations, such as traditional festival, national day, are the symbols of our culture, custom, tradition. On the other hand, spending large amounts of money on celebrations is not a good option. Firstly, spending less money doesn’t mean that a satisfying and meaningful celebration cannot be accomplished. Some little things, such as playing with kids, eating a family dinner, totally make a birthday party enjoyable and unique. Secondly, high expenditure encourages the consumer culture, making individuals pay much more attention to forms rather than functions. Finally, limited resources do not allow us to do whatever we want, money, therefore, needs to be allocated properly. In conclusion, although birthday and wedding mean a lot to us, it is not worthwhile that large amounts of money are spent on parties because money should be spent on other valuable things such as education and medicine.
