Holidays are special days or periods of time that are set aside for celebration, rest, or religious observance. They are typically marked by traditions, customs, and activities that are specific to a particular culture or community. Holidays can be national, such as Independence Day or Christmas, or they can be specific to a certain religion, like Eid al-Fitr or Hanukkah. Some holidays are observed globally, such as New Year’s Day or Valentine’s Day. Holidays often involve spending time with loved ones, exchanging gifts, feasting, and participating in festive events or ceremonies. They provide an opportunity for people to take a break from their regular routines and come together to celebrate or reflect on important aspects of life.
