Each year, we celebrate many holidays here in America.
On January 1, we welcome the coming of a new year like many people in the world. And we have another four holidays on the first day of a month: April Fool's Day, May Day,
Friendship Day (Aug. 1) and Grandparents Day (Sept. 1).
Young people's favourite festival comes in February. It is Valentine's Day (情人节). Lots of boys give red roses (玫瑰) to girls as a present.
People celebrate some holidays for their family members. We say thanks to our mother in May and celebrate Father's Day in the following month. In November many people go back home for Thanksgiving Day, so the whole family can stay together.
There are also some interesting holidays for children. For example, Halloween comes at the end of October. Children often play with pumpkin lanterns and put on all kinds of masks. Of course, the biggest festival is Christmas. After a year of work and study, people can enjoy a long holiday, eat big meals, and visit family and friends.
