ESSAY:

Two important festivities in the United States are Halloween and Thanksgiving Day. They are

different from each other, but they have an important role in the American culture, because these festivities
I have an important meaning for them.

Each year Halloween is celebrated on October 31st. This is one of the funniest festivity for American
people because they can wear funny or scary costumes. While they are dressed up, they used to go to parties

or the most common thing is to ask people for candies in each house. But, there was a time where Halloween

was a dangerous festivity, because people used to commit vandalism instead of celebrate Halloween in a
good way.

On the other hand, American people have another festivity which is cam and enjoyable.

Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on November 4th. This festivity is a time where American people celebrate

with their families and friends by making a dinner. The most important ingredient is the turkey and some
other things like potatoes, apples, etc. American people consider this festivity as a time to give thanks for

everything that they have.

Both, Halloween and Thanksgiving Day have an important thing in common and it is to join people.

Americans celebrate it in their own way like decorating their houses on Halloween or spending time with
their relatives on Thanksgiving Day.

In conclusion, Halloween and Thanksgiving Day are two of the most celebrated festivities for
American people, and these festivities were also adopted by many other countries around the world.
