1 – Thanksgiving
<\/strong>
Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on various dates, in Canada, in the United States, some of the Caribbean islands and Liberia. It is celebrated on the 2nd<\/sup> Monday of October in Canada and in the USA it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.
Americans commonly call the “First Thanksgiving”, as it was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. The celebration lasted three days and it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. The feast was intended to give thanks to God for the harvest.
Giving thanks to God was, and still is, the primary reason for many ceremonies or celebrations.
Thanksgiving turkey and pumpkin pie, among many others, are traditional food appreciated by American families on the celebration day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas is an annual festival that celebrates the birth of Jesus. It occurs on December 25, but the Christmas season<\/strong>, also called the holiday season<\/strong> is generally considered to run from late November to early January. In this period, people decorate their homes inside and outside, build Christmas Trees, exchange gifts and make religious and family parties with various traditional types of food.

4 – New Year\u2019s Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Year\u2019s Day commemorates the arrival of the New Year and it happens on January 1, the first day of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar as well as the Julian calendar.

5 – Saint Patrick’s Day
<\/strong>
Saint Patrick\u2019s Day, held on March 17 in Ireland, is a cultural and religious celebration that commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general. The Holiday is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival in the world.
Green is the main color of Saint Patrick’s Day as it is the national color of Ireland. People either wear green on that day or have some type of shamrock on their clothing. A shamrock is three-leaved-plant, which is also a symbol for Ireland.
