The Holidays in the USA.
The United States is a young country. But it is rich in customs and traditions. People from the east to the west of the USA happily celebrate local and national occasions. Some of them, like Thanksgiving day, are connected with American history. Others, like Christmas are associated with religious events. Independence Day that marks the birth of the country is widely celebrated by the Americans. Wherever ( где бы ни были ) Americans are on the day they always unite ( объединяются ) for picnics, barbecues and to watch fireworks. Many Americans gladly follow ( следуют ) their local or ethnic traditions and take part in local festivals and fairs ( ярмарки ). These celebrations include special food, drink and entertainment ( развлечения ). Although ( хотя ) the history of the USA is not long, the country has a long list of national, ethnic and regional celebrations.
