Veterans Day

Presidents' Day

We celebrate this day because commemorating presidents is the act of celebrating the core principles of equality, unity, and freedom they represent.

MLK Day

In the U.S., Martin Luther King Jr. Day is designated as a national day of service. Americans are urged to celebrate “a day on, not a day off” in honor of King’s commitment to improving the lives of others.

Holiday Season

As the calendar year comes to a close, it is also the time of year when many faith traditions celebrate important elements of their customs and conventions. Learn more about how Americans celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year's Eve.

Thanksgiving

Harvest celebrations have been held in almost every culture in the world to express thanks for a plentiful harvest. In America, Thanksgiving originated as a day to give thanks for the fall harvest and other bounties during the previous year, but it has evolved into a day to reflect on blessings and express thankfulness.

Veterans Day

On Veterans Day, we remember the cost of war to safeguard and cherish peace, and the people who risked their lives to achieve it.
