Why Do We Celebrate Certain Holidays in Specific Seasons?

We celebrate certain holidays in specific seasons because people used to watch the sky and nature to know when it was time for big events.

Imagine your bedroom has a giant clock on the wall, but instead of ticking every minute, it changes colors with the year. In winter, it’s cold and dark, like a sleepy bear hibernating. That’s winter, and people used to know it was time for holidays like Christmas or New Year when they saw the sky get darker and colder.

In spring, the sun gets brighter, flowers start growing, and you can feel the air getting warmer, just like how your body feels after a long nap. That’s spring, and people have holidays like Easter because it’s a time when things wake up again, just like you when you get to play outside.

People used to look at nature as their calendar, so they picked certain seasons for certain holidays, just like how you might pick your favorite snack for your favorite time of day. It's all about making happy memories in the best times of the year!
