What are global holiday patterns?

Global holiday patterns are like a big game that people all around the world play on special days.

Holidays are special days when people take time off from work or school to celebrate something important, like birthdays, seasons, or events in history.

In some places, people celebrate holidays in very different ways. For example, in one country, kids might get candy on a special day, while in another country, they might eat a special meal or light up lights to mark the season.

Imagine you have a friend who lives far away, maybe in another country, and they also take time off on that same special day to do something fun. That’s what global holiday patterns mean: people all over the world celebrating similar holidays, but sometimes with different traditions. It's like everyone is playing the same game, but each person has their own way of doing it!
