The way to celebrate the festival.

Americans celebrate festivals in different ways, but some of them are deeply rooted in people's hearts. For example, on Thanksgiving Day, families get together to eat turkey. On Christmas Day, they like to hang beautiful lights, enjoy the Christmas tree, watch movies, listen to concerts or go shopping on holidays. On New Year's Day, they take part in outdoor activities or watch the float parade.

The history behind the festival:

Most festivals in the United States originate from important events in history, such as New Year's Day is the beginning of the new year, Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Jesus, and condolence day is to commemorate the atrocities of reflecting on war.

Some festivals celebrate the inheritance of cultural heritage, such as Martin Luther King Memorial Day, in memory of Martin Luther King, the leader of the black civil rights movement; Thanksgiving Day was established to commemorate the early settlers, Puritans and local Indians, who celebrated the harvest together.
