SUMMARY:New Year's Eve
DESCRIPTION:New Year’s Eve\, December 31\, is a major celebration in the USA. Although New Year’s Day is a federal holiday\, New Year’s Eve is not\, so most businesses will operate holiday working hours. However\, in a few states such as Kentucky\, Michigan\, and Wisconsin\, it is a day off. \nFamilies and friends travel to be together or to go to significant outside celebration spots\, like New York\, in order to welcome the new year together. Due to this\, there can be congestion and closed roads\, so check in advance before making any journey. \nCelebrations\nTraditionally\, New Year’s Eve is a time for parties\, fireworks\, and merry-making. People count down the last 10 seconds to midnight\, the start of the new year. They toast the new year with a glass of champagne\, kiss a loved one (under the mistletoe)\, and wish everyone a loud “Happy New Year!” People sing Auld Lang Syne\, an old Scottish song\, which bids farewell to days gone by. \nNew York is the main site\, with nearly one million people going to Times Square\, Manhattan\, to attend. There are music and fireworks\, but no alcohol is allowed. At midnight\, there is also a run in Central Park. Other major cities and places\, such as Las Vegas\, Disney World\, Orlando\, hold “first-night” activities\, with or without alcohol\, with costume parties\, etc. \nOrigins\nMesopotamia\nThe earliest record of New Year celebrations was from the Mesopotamians\, around 4\,000 years ago. They believed that their god\, Marduk\, brought order to the havoc caused by Tiamat\, the goddess of chaos. To commemorate this\, every year\, when the rains came around the vernal equinox\, they would cause chaos themselves by engaging in illicit sexual relations\, drinking\, and allowing slaves to insult their masters. They would perform mummers’ plays and fertility rites. The king secluded himself for days\, as he represented order. \nIn the Mesopotamian city of Babylon\, they used as much noise as possible to chase the “demons of chaos” out of their city at the beginning of the year. They would also divine the future\, the “fixing of the fates” for the following year. \nEurope\nMany European countries had mid-winter feasting. In ancient Rome\, Julius Caesar made the first day of the year\, January 1 according to his new calendar\, a time for honoring Janus\, the god of gateways and beginnings and endings. Janus had two faces on opposite sides\, seeing the past and future. During the holiday\, people indulged in excesses in food and drink\, adultery\, orgies\, and so on. It was said that if you greeted January 1 with fun and laughter\, you would be happy for the entire year.

SUMMARY:Christmas Eve
DESCRIPTION:Christmas Eve is observed in the evening of December 24\, but officially it is the whole day before Christmas Day. In some states\, it is a public holiday. Schools are normally closed. However\, for the majority it is not a holiday\, so most people have to work. \nAs it is the day before the holidays\, many workplaces hold Christmas parties or allow their employees to leave work early. Stores are usually open\, however\, opening times may be affected. Grocery stores\, in particular\, may close early. Some people use Christmas Eve for last-minute Christmas shopping. \nWhat day is Christmas Eve?\nChristmas Eve is always the day before Christmas Day\, however\, what day of the week Christmas Eve falls on changes depending on the year. For example\, the last time Christmas Eve was on a Sunday was in 2017 and the next time will be in 2023. You can see past\, present\, and upcoming dates below: \n\nChristmas Eve 2020 – Thursday\, December 24th\nChristmas Eve 2021 – Friday\, December 24th\nChristmas Eve 2022 – Saturday\, December 24th\nChristmas Eve 2023 – Sunday\, December 24th\nChristmas Eve Traditions\nThe United States is a melting pot of cultures\, therefore many traditions and customs originate from other countries. Christmas\, however\, is an especially important symbol for Christians as it commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. Other religious celebrations that occur around Christmas include Hanukkah\, Kwanzaa\, and the Immaculate Conception. \nChristmas Eve is often the last or second to last day on an Advent Calendar\, a traditional calendar used in the countdown to Christmas. You can read more about the history of Advent here. \nFamilies make final preparations for Christmas Day itself: preparing food\, finishing off gift-wrapping\, travelling\, or finishing off decorating their homes with lights\, trees\, etc. \nIt is common for children\, in anticipation of Santa Claus’ visit down the chimney\, to put out cookies and milk for him\, and carrots or other treats for the reindeer. Some children also hang up stockings on the fireplace\, or other suitable places\, so that Santa can leave their gifts inside. Children on Santa’s naughty list are thought to receive a lump of coal in their stocking rather than gifts\, according to the tale. \nChurches hold candlelight or midnight masses\, where the Nativity is played out and carols are sung. This happens at midnight\, as it is the time when Christmas Eve transitions to Christmas Day\, and because traditionally\, Jesus is thought to have been born at night. \nSome people follow fasting or abstinence rites or customs leading up to Christmas Day. E.g.\, Italian-Americans celebrate The Feast of the Seven Fishes\, a grand meal of seafood\, as meat is abstained from until Christmas Day. \nOther cultures\, especially of European origin\, may have their main celebrations\, including exchanging gifts and their main Christmas dinner\, on Christmas Eve itself. People might eat their meal after they have come back from going to church at midnight. Some Scandinavian peoples eat their meal and then go to church.

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving day
DESCRIPTION:Famous for being a day for eating an abundance of turkey and pumpkin pie\, Thanksgiving Day is held on the fourth Thursday in November. In 2021\, Thanksgiving falls on November 25. \nIt is a federal holiday\, so most schools and businesses are closed. The day after Thanksgiving Day\, Black Friday\, is also a holiday in more than 20 states\, allowing people to benefit from a long weekend. This is also known as Thanksgiving break. \nHistory of Thanksgiving\nTo understand its origin and why we celebrate Thanksgiving today\, it is important to understand its roots by delving into the history behind Thanksgiving. Our timeline outlines the background into the date. \nPilgrims Reach the New World in 1621\nReligious separatists left Plymouth\, England\, bound for the New World on the Mayflower ship in September 1620. They hoped to find prosperity\, a new way of life and the opportunity to practice their faith in freedom\, the majority having left the Church of England. Over 3 months later\, they crossed Massachusetts Bay and worked at setting up a village at Plymouth. Their first winter in Plymouth was particularly difficult. Most of the settlers lived aboard the ship\, and disease and scurvy abounded. Only half of them managed to survive the winter. \nThey moved ashore in March. An Indian from the Abenaki tribe greeted them in English. He later returned with a native Indian\, a Pawtuxet named Squanto. He had been sold into slavery but had managed to escape to London and get back to his homeland. He taught the Pilgrims\, as they came to be known about 100 years later\, how to live off this new land. He showed them how to cultivate corn and helped them build bonds with the local Wampanoag tribe. \nA Reason for Celebration\nIn November of 1621\, the Pilgrims gathered their first harvest of corn. Governor William Bradford organized a celebratory feast with guests from the Wampanoag tribe. This harvest celebration lasted 3 days. The food likely included fowl\, which the Pilgrims had caught\, and deer that the Wampanoag had brought with them as a gift. Their feast menu could have included fish\, as well as native fruit and vegetables\, such as garlic\, cranberries\, walnuts\, and chestnuts. However\, they had no potatoes and they would not have had pumpkin pie\, as they had no sugar or oven. There was a formal march\, and both the Pilgrims and native Indians put on a show of their weaponry abilities. As well as feasting and military exercises\, there were games. \nThis day of thanksgiving to God\, combined with harvest celebrations\, came to be celebrated annually in the New England area by the late 1600s\, but on various days. \nTraditions Today\nTraditionally\, Thanksgiving in the USA is a day when families gather together to celebrate\, give thanks for what they are grateful for\, and eat a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. The original Thanksgiving meal has evolved into the ubiquitous turkey and traditional sides such as mashed potatoes\, yams\, stuffing\, gravy\, cranberry sauce\, plus\, of course\, pumpkin pie. Happy Thanksgiving is a common expression used around the holiday and many simply refer to Thanksgiving as Turkey Day\, since the Thanksgiving dinner has become such a significant ritual. \nThanksgiving isn’t just celebrated in the United States. Other countries that follow celebrations also include Canada\, Grenada\, Saint Lucia\, and Liberia. In Spanish\, Thanksgiving Day is known as Día de Acción de Gracias\, which literally translates to “day of giving thanks”. \nIt marks the opening of the Christmas season and shopping period. It is also a day for football games\, namely the NFL\, and other sporting events\, both amateur and professional. Some people\, wanting to give back\, see the time as an occasion to volunteer at soup kitchens\, food banks\, etc. \nParades take place\, the most famous being the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York\, with millions attending and watching on television. In 2021\, Macy’s celebrate their 95th parade.

SUMMARY:Halloween
DESCRIPTION:Halloween\, observed on the evening of October 31\, is a popular celebration around the world\, loved by adults and children alike. It takes place on the day before All Saints’ Day and is also known as Hallowe’en\, All Hallows’ Eve; All Saints’ Eve\, and Samhain. In the United States\, it is not a public holiday\, therefore businesses and stores follow normal opening hours. \nWhat is the meaning of Halloween?\nThe meaning of the word “Halloween” is a contraction of All Hallows’ Eve to literally mean “hallowed evening”. The holiday that is Halloween is believed to have come to America by American colonists in the 19th century when thousands of people moved to the United States from Ireland and Britain. They brought their Halloween customs with them and combined these with traditions coming from Germany and other parts of the world. \nIn the early 20th century\, Halloween became a nationwide holiday in the United States. Today\, it is a multibillion-dollar industry celebrated worldwide. Many people\, particularly children\, choose to dress in spooky costumes in honor of the haunted holiday\, parading the streets trick-or-treating. \nWhat to do on Halloween and how to celebrate it:\nMany of these ancient customs and rituals are still followed today. Many people embrace the spirit of Halloween and celebrate in a variety of ways\, be it spending the night trick-or-treating – children going from house to house\, or staying at home and watching a scary movie. Some host Halloween parties with games and activities such as apple-bobbing\, costume competitions\, and pumpkin-carving\, accompanied by Halloween-themed food and candy. \nThe symbols of those ancient Celtic customs can still be seen in costumes and decorations today: vampires\, witches\, zombies\, goblins\, ghosts\, carved pumpkin heads (Jack O’Lanterns)\, bats\, cats\, toads\, skeletons\, spiders\, and so on. \nSince Halloween has come to play a huge part in modern culture\, with movies and music inspired by the holiday\, cinemas often show re-runs of classic movies in honor of the holiday. The most notable movie franchise is arguably the aptly named Halloween series featuring Michael Myers\, originating in 1978. If you’re wondering how many Halloween movies there are\, you might be surprised to know there are 11 films in total – and that’s just the Halloween movie franchise! \nThere are plenty more Halloween-inspired movies that exist such as Scream\, Halloweentown\, Beetlejuice\, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride\, The Addams Family\, Hocus Pocus\, A Nightmare on Elm Street\, among many others. In music\, Michael Jackson’s Thriller and the Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett are among popular songs associated with Halloween. \nMany US States host a variety of different events around Halloween\, so why not look up what’s happening in an area near you. For example\, Hudson Valley hosts The Great Jack O’lantern Blaze each year.

SUMMARY:United Nations Day
DESCRIPTION:United Nations Day is celebrated on October 24\, the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations Charter\, in 1945. This day commemorates the work that the United Nations and its agents do around the world\, and it looks back on the history and accomplishments of the UN. \nUnited Nations Day is an international observance\, but it is not a public holiday in the United States. \n  \nBackground\nAfter the end of World War I\, participating countries envisioned the establishment of an organization\, a “League of Nations”\, whose purpose would be to prevent wars\, mediate diplomatic negotiations\, encourage disarmament\, discourage conflicts between countries\, and to better the lives of people in all countries around the world. \nYears later\, World War II would devastate the world to an extent that had never been seen before\, so it became more crucial than ever to have such an organization in place\, to keep the peace and fight the power of the Axis powers. On April 25\, 1945\, there was an international conference in San Francisco where delegates from 50 countries came together to draft the United Nations Charter. This was signed on June 25\, and became official on October 24\, 1945. Thus\, the United Nations was born\, to maintain peace\, provide international humanitarian aid\, enforce international law and protect human rights. \nUnited Nations Day became an official holiday in 1948\, to celebrate the establishment of the UN. In 1971\, the UN invited all of its member states to make United Nations Day a public holiday. This would raise awareness around the globe to the important work that the UN and its aid workers and agents do for us every day. \nThere are currently 193 member states in the United Nations\, who all provide humanitarian aid for other countries. \n  \nHow United Nations Day is celebrated\nTo promote United Nations Day and the work that the UN is doing\, there are several international events organized across the world. \nIn Paris\, the United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has meetings and conferences where the achievements and goals of the UN are discussed\, as well as exhibitions that highlight the work that has been done since 1945. \nSchools around the globe are encouraged to host cultural celebrations of their diversity in the student and staff bodies. \nAnd in New York\, and the United Nations Headquarters\, there is an annual United Nations Day concert\, where many famous performers and orchestras have performed throughout the years. \nYou can celebrate United Nations Day by getting inspired by their work and take action yourself. Find a cause that you are passionate about\, and donate to it or\, if you can\, volunteer. The UN has several different branches that work for different causes\, so you’re sure to find a cause to help. \nSocial media has become a powerful tool to raise awareness about causes and issues. Use yours for good and share the work that the UN has been doing with your friends and family.

SUMMARY:World Teachers’ Day
DESCRIPTION:World Teachers’ Day\, also referred to as International Teachers’ Day\, is observed annually on October 5. It is a day that celebrates the incredible role that teachers all over the world play and their important contribution to society. World Teachers’ Day is a United Nations observance and not a public holiday. As such\, schools and businesses operate as normal. \n  \nWorld Teachers’ Day is a global celebration and should not be confused with Teachers’ Day\, which is celebrated on the first Tuesday of May in the US and forms part of Teacher Appreciation Week. \n  \nWhat is World Teachers’ Day?\nWorld Teachers’ Day is a United Nations (UN) observance that was first recognized in 1994 by UNESCO. It is celebrated on October 5 since it derived from the signing of the October 5th\, 1966 UNESCO/ILO Recommendation. It ensures the standards\, rights\, and responsibilities for teachers across the globe\, concerning matters such as employment\, working conditions\, initial training and continuous education for teachers. The commemoration is a collaborative between UNICEF\, the International Labour Organization and Education International. \n  \nTeachers provide education at all levels\, from children to adults\, in a diverse field of studies. It is vital for teachers to have standards in place to protect and look out for them\, to enable them to carry out their job and continue to make a difference in and out of the classroom\, and in their local communities. By raising awareness of the importance of teaching and the current issues affecting teachers\, the aim is that it will in turn improve the quality of education. \n  \nEach year\, Teachers’ Day is celebrated with a different theme\, as set by UNESCO. In 2020\, World Teachers’ Day was celebrated with the theme “Teachers: Leading in crisis\, reimagining the future”. Referencing the global pandemic\, the theme addressed the challenges and effects COVID-19 has had on teaching worldwide from teachers firsthand and recognizes their achievements in extraordinary circumstances. \n  \nThe themes from previous years were: \n  \n2016 – “Valuing Teachers\, Improving their Status” \n2017 – “Teaching in Freedom\, Empowering Teachers” \n2018 – “The right to education means the right to a qualified teacher” \n2019 – “Young Teachers: The Future of the Profession”

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace\, also known as Peace Day\, is commemorated every year on September 21. It is a United Nations holiday for the end of war and violence\, and the promotion of world peace. It is also a day dedicated to those who promote peace in conflict zones by providing humanitarian aid. On the International Day of Peace\, UN countries declare a ceasefire for the day\, personally and politically. \n  \nBackground\nIn 1981 the United Kingdom and Costa Rica presented a joint resolution proposing a day for the commemoration and strengthening of the ideals of peace\, and the United Nations General Assembly declared this day to be International Day of Peace\, to be observed on the third Tuesday of September. In 2001\, Secretary-General Kofi Annan changed the date of commemoration to September 21. It was also on this year that the International Day of Peace was declared as a day of non-violence and international ceasefire. \nThe goal of the United Nations with this day is to promote better relationships between countries\, and international cooperation towards world peace and the end of war and conflicts. In working towards this goal\, on every International Day of Peace\, the countries that observe this day declare an official 24-hour ceasefire so that this day can be observed without any kind of conflict\, and world leaders put their differences aside to celebrate\, as an example to all citizens. \nTo mark the International Day of Peace\, the Peace Bell is rung at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The bell was a gift from Japan and is made with coins donated by children from most continents\, as a reminder of the human cost of war. The bell is inscribed with “Long live absolute world peace”. \nAs it is common with United Nations observances\, the International Day of Peace has a different theme every year. The theme for 2020 is “Shaping Peace Together”\, and focuses on the world coming together against the common threat that is COVID-19. \n  \nWhat to do on International Day of Peace\nThere are many International Day of Peace activities and events organized around the world every year. The UN provides a searchable map of events on their website so you can check if there are any near you. \nThese events can be public or private\, such as concerts\, dinners\, festivals\, or prayers\, but all of them have the intention of promoting peace between everyone. \nSince 1984\, through the initiative of the NGO Pathways to Peace\, countries around the world observe a Minute of Silence\, at noon of each time zone.
