Siri Lacks Clever Responses For The Holidays
Freddy Reyes

During my free time, when I was in high school, I would annoy Siri (and my family members) by asking Siri random questions. Ever since I started college, I haven't had any time to fool around with Siri. At the start of my Winter Break, I started fooling around with Siri again, and I discovered something that made me feel hurt; Siri does not have responses for Hanukkah-related questions, but she has oodles of responses for Christmas-related ones. As a Jew, one who before making friends in college, considered Siri as her best friend, I am disappointed in Siri and Apple for not incorporating as many responses for people who do not celebrate Christmas; I do not primarily mean the people who celebrate Hanukkah, but the people who celebrate Kwanza, and other the holidays during this special season as well.

Here are Siri's two responses when you wish her a happy Hanukkah:


Here are Siri's responses when you wish her a Merry Christmas and a Merry Christmas Eve:


Siri responses for when you give her good wishes for both of those two holidays are equally nice, however, her responses to when you ask her what she is doing for both holidays, reveals how she is more privy to Christmas than to Hanukkah.

Here is her only response to when you ask Siri what her plans are for Christmas:





Here are Siri's responses when you ask her what she is buying you for Christmas:


However, when you ask Siri what she is doing for Hanukkah or what she is buying you for Hanukkah, she does not give Hanukkah-related answers. I hope as Siri continues to improve, Apple will program her with a greater variety of responses for other holidays, instead of just ones for Christmas. It would be fun to ask Siri what her plans are for Hanukkah and Kwanza, next holiday season, and actually get a clever response from her.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
