WHAT ARE CELEBRATIONS ABOUT?

Celebrations are meant to commemorate special occasions that have an important meaning to people. Sometimes these celebrations are joyful occasions such as Christmas or New Year’s Eve where people can share with family and friends. Sometimes they are for remembering important events in history, for example Independence Day (which is different in every country).

There are also days in the year that are not celebrations but dates to commemorate tragic events in the past such as September 11 or the end of the World War.
