HOLIDAYS IN THE USA
1. Labour Day is traditionally celebrated on the first Monday of September. The first Labour Day parade was held in New York in 1882. The US Congress declared it a national holiday in 1894. Americans are very proud of their tradition of hard work to increase their economic status.
2. To people all over the world, Christmas is a season of giving and receiving presents. Father Christmas comes into houses in the night and leaves gifts for the children. Americans gave Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, as they call him, a white beard, dressed him in a red suit and made him a cheery old gentleman with red cheeks and a twinkle in his eye.
3. Easter celebrates the Christian belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many Americans follow old traditions of colouring hard-boiled eggs and giving children baskets of candy. On the next day the President of the US holds an annual Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn for young children.
4. National flags are not only symbols of a country. They convey past history and future goals. The current American flag called “Stars and Stripes” has 13 red and white alternating stripes (representing the original 13 states-colonies) and 50 stars (each star represents a state) on a blue background. Flag Day is celebrated on June 14.
