Foolish day

• The Origin of April Fool's DayThe origin of
  April Fool's Day remains clouded in obscurity.
  Basically no one knows exactly where, when, or
  why the celebration began. What we do know is
  that references to 'All Fool's Day' (what April
  Fool's Day was first called) began to appear in
  Europe during the late Middle Ages.

8

• All Fool's Day was a folk celebration
  and elite participation in it appears to have
  been minimal (which is why it's so difficult to
  trace the exact origin of the day, because the
  people celebrating it back then weren't the kind
  of people who kept records of what they did).

• Thanksgiving Day

10

• Thanksgiving Day is the most truly
  American of the national Holidays in the United
  States and is most closely connected with the
  earliest history of the country.

11

• The pattern of the
  Thanksgiving celebration has never changed
  through the years. The big family dinner is
  planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people
  will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and
  grapes.

12

• There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other
  varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash.
  The best and most attractive among them are roast
  turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most
  traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day
  throughout the years.

Halloween
14

•   

Halloween is an annual celebration, but
just what is it actually a celebration of? And
how did this peculiar custom originate? Is it, as
some claim, a kind of demon worship? Or is it
just a harmless vestige of some ancient pagan
ritual?
15

• So, although some Celts may have adopted
  Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day
  itself did not grow out of evil practices. It
  grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a
  new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of
  Europeans. And today, even many churches have
  Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for
  the kids.

Christmas is the feast of the nativity
of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But
nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus.

•  

18

• The name Christmas is short for
  "Christ's Mass". A Mass is a kind of Church
  service. Christmas is a religious festival. It is
  the day we celebrate as the birthday of Jesus.

19

•    

And the Christmas has become popular when
Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept
of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in
nineteenth Century.
