There are many interesting holidays in the United States. In fact，there are holidays in almost every month. Take January for example. The first day of January is New Year’s Day. Like the Chinese people，American people also celebrate the beginning of each year. People sometimes spend this day watching football games.

In January or February，many people in the U. S. celebrate the Chinese New Year. On this day, many families will clean their homes and get ready for the New Year. They will wear new clothes and share delicious food. They will give each other red envelops with money for good luck in the coming year. They will also light firecrackers to chase away bad luck.

The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. Children and fathers will buy beautiful presents for mothers. On that day，all mothers will be very happy.

Different from China. the American Labor Day is in September，not in May. It is on the first Monday in September. On that day，people will honor all the working people in the U.S.

Thanksgiving Day is the 4th Thursday in November. On this day，people will remember how the Indians helped the Pilgrims by teaching them how to farm and hunt. On this day，people will give thanks for food, for their country，and for their families.
