Note that some holidays are celebrated on same date every year, and ors are always celebrated on same day of month.

That s because y ve stayed up most of night, greeting new year! Some went to parties at friends homes or at nightclubs. Ors were out on streets, throwing confetti and bowling noisemakers. Many people make New Year s resolutions (to eat less, to work more, etc.). Few people keep ir resolutions. In 1950s and 1960s, Martin Lur King, Jr., led civil rights movement- struggle foe equal rights for black Americans (see page 66-70).King was assassinated in Martin Lur King, Jr. Day, which falls in January, around King s birthday is a time to celebrate life and achievements of this great American.
4 Two or great Americans are honored on Presidents Day. George Washington was country s first president. Abraham Lincoln bought country through Civil War (see page and 66-68). Their birthdays were both in February and are celebrated toger. Memorial Day honors American soldiers killed in war. There are many parades on Memorial Day. Memorial Day, which comes on last in May, is also unofficial beginning of summer vacation season. On Memorial Day, many people go to beach. The most important American holiday is Fourth of July, or Independence Day. On July 4, 1776, American colonies declared ir independence from Britain (see page 52). Many families celebrate Fourth of July by having picnics and, at night, watching fireworks. Labor Day honors American workers. Just as Memorial Day, which falls on first in September, marks end of summer. For many students, school year starts day after Labor Day. Columbus Day celebrates Christopher Columbus s arrival in Americas in As Columbus was Italian, working for Spain, Columbus Day is an especially important holiday for many Italian- Americans and Hispanic-Americans. Although Halloween, on October 31, is not an official holiday, it is a very special day. On Halloween, children dress in costume as all kinds of things- as witches, ghosts, monsters, pirates, TV characters, and even computers and cereal boxes. The windows of many houses have Halloween decorations and jack-o -lanterns. (Jack-o -lanterns are pumpkins that have been carved with strange faces and have a candle inside.) In evening, children go from house to house, knocking on doors and saying trick or treat. The people in houses give children candy or some or treat. If y don t, children might play a small trick on m! In 1620 one of first British settlements in America was established in Massachusetts. These settlers, known as Pilgrims, had come to America to freely practice ir religion. They arrived in November, when it was too late to plant crops. Although many people died, Pilgrim settlement survived winter because of help from Indians who lived nearby. The Indians taught Pilgrims about corn and showed m where to fish. The next November, after crops are
5 harvested, Pilgrim gave thanks to God at a feast to which y invited Indians. Every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Families and friends get toger for a big feast. The meal usually includes roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, a sweet sauce made from cranberries, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. What a meal! It s not surprising that a recent Thanksgiving tradition is to it after dinner in front of TV watching a professional football game. Christmas, marking birth of Christ in Christian religion, is anor time when families get toger. Christmas is an important time for giving gifts. In fact, people start buying gifts right after Thanksgiving, although Christmas is a month away. Many families put up a Christmas tree and bake lots of special Christmas cookies. Small children believe that ir gifts come from Santa Claus. Their parents tell m that Santa lives in North Pole and, on night before Christmas, he travels around world in a sled pulled by reindeer. He goes down chimney of houses to leaves gifts for children who have been good. Naturally, children are first to get out of bed on Christmas morning. Quiz: What do you remember about United States?
