Holidays

Holidays are designated days of celebration or observance, often recognized by religious, cultural, or national significance. They can commemorate historical events, seasonal changes, or important milestones, and are typically marked by various traditions, festivities, and rituals. Holidays can include public holidays, which are often mandated by law and may involve time off from work and school, as well as personal or unofficial holidays that people celebrate according to their customs or beliefs. Common examples include New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. Each holiday may be associated with specific activities, foods, and symbols that reflect its cultural or historical context.
