Hi Yanyan, well let's begin with Christmas. We celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Then we have our New Year's eve celebrations which is held on December 31 and we stay up until midnight Which marks the new year. We aslo have a big birthday celebration for our country July 4. We celebrate our indepence as a nation. We often Celebrat Valentine's day Feb 14., that marks a day when we buy our girlfriends/wives or in your case a boyfriend/husband a gift to say I love you. However, it is not a national holiday. We have some other small holidays that close down banks, schools, universities and geovernment offices but they aren't celebrated with family and friensds. I hope that helps.

There is the polar bear club where people go out to swim in freezing weather. Nathan's hot dog eating contest every July 4th. I think the current champion ate 59 hot dogs (and buns) in 12 minutes.
