Holidays in the USA
Every country has its own holidays. They reflect the history of the country and its cultural and religious traditions. Some religious holidays are the same in different countries. They are Christmas and Easter.
Americans celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. They buy a lot of presents for their parents and friends. The first of January, the New Year’s Day, is not so widely celebrated in the USA as we do it in Russia.
Of course, the most important holiday in America is the 4th of July, the Independence Day. People like to watch colourful fireworks in the evening. The 4th of July is the day-off and people do not go to work.
Here are the holidays when people do not go to work: Martin Luther King’s Day on the 10th of January, Labour Day on the 7th of September and Thanksgiving Day on the last Friday of November.
On Thanksgiving Americans usually eat turkey and thank God for a good harvest. This holiday remains the time when the first colonists from England came to America in 1620 and could survive in the unknown land.
The 31st of October is children’s most favourite holiday – Halloween. On this day children dressed in funny dresses visit their neighbours saying "Trick or treat!” and get sweets. The rest of the holidays are usually on weekends. They are: Flag’s Day, Mother’s Day, President’s Day.
