Dear Reader, I do not recommend this book to get you interested in American holidays. Since you have found it, you are obviously interested in them. However, I do recommend you my book if you want to deepen your knowledge about American holidays and their backgrounds, if you want to do special holiday activities with the children around you, or you want to teach American culture but have never done it before or need new ideas. I invite you to explore the historical events which led to the most well-known holidays and special days, to discover the hidden potentials of teaching culture, but most importantly, I invite you to simply enjoy all the fun that children see in these unique days. In this book you can find everything from Labor Day and Flag Day through Independence Day and Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas. A wide variety of lesson plans, crafting ideas, and pictures can help you plan your culture-based activities anywhere around the world. I wish you all the best with all the fun. Warm Regards, Andrea Vargyasi-David
