NATIONAL HOLIDAYS IN THE USA
The United States is a young country. Its independence was declared in 1776. Sometimes the USA is called the "New World". Americans believe that if they work hard they can have what they want and be what they want. This is a part of what they call "the American Dream".
This is why Americans are so hard-working. They do not take many vacations, and there are only five national holidays that are celebrated in every state. These are New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. On these days government offices, post offices, and banks are closed.
There are other holidays, but they are not celebrated in all the states.
