Big Feelings Make Big Celebrations
When it's time for a party, everyone gets excited, just like when it's time for a festival! People love to celebrate happiness, like when something good happens. They also love to celebrate the end of one thing and the start of another, like how you say goodbye to summer and welcome winter with a special event.
Similar Events, Different Places
Even though people live far apart, in big cities or small villages, they still have similar events. For example, many places have a big celebration at the beginning of a new year, like when you start a new school year with a party! These shared events and feelings are like a worldwide group hug, everyone is happy, and it feels good to celebrate together.
