Imagine everyone in the world loves to have a big party at the start of the year, that’s like how some festivals work. Some people use Christmas for their celebration, others use Lunar New Year, and still more might celebrate Diwali or Holi. Even though the names are different, they all feel similar because they mark a fresh beginning, just like you might have your own way of celebrating the start of summer!
Examples
- When your family has a big dinner on New Year’s Eve, it feels just like what happens in other countries around the world during their Christmas or Lunar New Year celebrations.
- You get red envelopes for Chinese New Year, and your friend gets presents for Christmas, they’re both ways of showing love and celebration at different times.
