Valentines day

Every February we celebrate Valentines Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to those we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. |

St. Patrick’s day
|
We celebrate Saint Patrick's Day each year on March 17th. The festive holiday has everyone wearing green (so they don't get pinched) and chatting of four leaf clovers, shamrocks, lucky leprechauns, and kissing some big rock called a blarney stone. |

Earth day
|
|
In 1963, former Senator Gaylord Nelson began to worry about our planet. Senator Nelson knew that our world was getting dirty and that many of our plants and animals were dying. He wondered why more people weren't trying to solve these problems. He talked to other lawmakers and to the President. They decided that the President would go around the country and tell people about these concerns. He did, but still not enough people were working on the problem. Then, in 1969, Senator Nelson had another idea. He decided to have a special day to teach everyone about the things that needed changing in our environment. On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. People all over the country made promises to help the environment. |

Halloween
|
|
The celebration of Halloween today is a mixture of rituals and celebrations from a lot of different people.The earliest origin is from the Celts, who lived in Scotland. On October 31, they celebrated what they called Samhain (pronounced So-in). It was the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the cold, dark winters. The Celts believed that on Oct 31, the Lord of Death released souls back to Earth. On October 31, the Celts wore scary costumes because they believed that then the evil spirits wouldn't recognize them as humans and wouldn't mess with them. This is probably where the tradition of dressing up in costumes on Halloween came from. |

Thanks giving
|
|
The traditional Thanksgiving is a combination of religious and harvest celebrations. The Pilgrim Feast of 1621 is generally what we think of when we think of the very first Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims had just had a really good harvest after a very difficult winter. To celebrate, the Pilgrims called for a huge feast! |

お正月 New Year’s Day |
一月は元旦（がん・たん）、国民（こく・みん）の休日（きゅう・じつ）で、日本の年中行事（ねん・ちゅう・ぎょう・じ）のカレンダーで最も大きな催（もよお）しのひとつだ。多くの人が都会を離れ、田舎へ帰って、家族や友達と休みを過ごす。 元旦の日の出（ひ・の・で）のかなり前から、人々は神社（じん・じゃ）やお寺（てら）へ健康で幸せな一年を祈願しに大群となり詣でる。これは初詣と呼ばれ、一年中で最も大切な儀式（ぎ・しき） |
