People decorate their houses and hide candies and easter eggs for kids to find. It is a little game loved by many around the world. It is like a little treasure hunt and really fun!
Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. The lunar-based Islamic calendar consists of 12 months, with 29 or 30 days each month. The start of each month is contingent on the visibility of the crescent moon.
During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, and every other sin from dawn to dusk. This includes refraining from swallowing one’s own saliva during the fast. Fasting is meant to teach patience, humility, and spirituality. It is also an exercise in self-control – a way to become closer to Allah.
The pre-dawn meal before the fast is called suhoor, while the evening meal that breaks the fast is known as Iftar. Family and friends often gather for iftar dinner together during Ramadan.
Ramadan ends with a three-day celebration called Eid al-Fitr, which involves special prayers, meals, and festivities marking the end of the fasting period.
Thanksgiving
In the United States, Thanksgiving is a federal holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for the things we have, including our families, friends, and material possessions. We also remember and give thanks for the food we eat, which comes from farmers across the country.
People usually gather with family and friends for a large meal on this day. The traditional Thanksgiving foods are roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
Christmas
Christmas is one of the most popular holidays in the world. It is celebrated by Christians and non-Christians alike and is a time for family, friends, and giving.
Christmas is traditionally celebrated on December 25th, but many people celebrate it on December 24th or December 26th. The holiday commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and is marked by feasting, gift-giving, and decorating.
People often celebrate Christmas by decorating their houses, especially conical trees with different ornaments. Families get together to have meals and watch light-hearted Christmas movies.
