Customs and traditions of USA Traditions and customs play a great part in the nation, which consists of many ethnic communities and is often called a nation of immigrants. Technically there are no «national» holidays as each state has jurisdiction over its holidays but in fact most of the US holidays are celebrated nationally.

The states observe federal public holidays. These are Thanksgiving Day, Independence Day, Christmas, New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day and some others.

Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving day is considered the most American of the holidays. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. The holiday commemorates the first hard year the Pilgrims lived in the New World.

Thanksgiving Day The traditional food is Thanksgiving turkey and pumpkin pie. In recent years the holiday has become even more popular.

Independence Day Independence Day is also very important because it celebrates the nation’s independence from Great Britain and the real founding of the United States as a country.

Independence Day The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson, who later became the nation’s third president.

Christmas Christmas, December 25, is the most festive time of the year in the US. Students from elementary school through college have one to two weeks’ vacation beginning shortly before Christmas and ending after the New Year.

Columbus Day Throughout most of the US Columbus Day, the anniversary of the landing of Christopher Columbus in the New World on October 12, 1492 is celebrated on the second Monday in October.
