People in different parts of the world celebrate similar holidays because they have common things that happen at certain times of the year. Like, when it gets dark and cold, people might celebrate a winter festival, such as Christmas or the Chinese New Year. When it gets light and warm again, they celebrate spring festivals like Easter or the Lunar New Year. These celebrations help them feel connected to each other even if they're far apart.
Examples
- A child in Norway celebrates Christmas with a family feast, just like a child in Brazil.
- People in Japan celebrate New Year’s Eve by eating special food, just as people in the United States do.
- Kids around the world light lanterns during Mid-Autumn Festival, even if they live on different continents.
