День труда празднуется в первый понедельник сентября в честь всех работающих людей в США и Канаде.
Понедельник октября- день Колумба, празднует историческое путешествие Кристофера Колумба в Америку в 1492. Колумб был итальянцем и этот праздник особенно важен для итальянцев-американцев.
31 октября - Хэллоуин. Дети в костюмах ходят из дома в дом говоря "шалость или сладости". Сладостями обычно являются конфеты и редко шалости. Символом Хэллоуина является фонарь-джека, который сделан из тыквы.
День благодарения- 4-ый вторник ноября. В этот день американцы вспоминают как индейцы пилигримам, уча их как обрабатывать земли и охотиться. В этот день они благодарят за еду, страну и семьи.
25 декабря- Рождество. Многие люди украшают их дома рождественскими елками и гирляяндами, дарят подарки друг другу. Дети вешают чулки для того, чтобы Санта Клаус заполнил их подарками. 
Как вы можете видеть, США - это страна множества праздников!

Trafalgar SquareThis is one of the nerve-centres of London. It was named Trafalgar Square to commemorate the historical naval victory won on the 21st of October 1805 by the British fleet under the command of Horatio Nelson over the combined French-Spanish fleet commanded by Villeneuve. The battle took place at Cape Trafalgar in the mouth of the Straits of Gibraltar and lasted several hours.  Nelson was fatally wounded by a shot which broke his backbone. He died on board his flagship the Victory, but not before being told that he had won the battle.Nelson's Column, with the statue of Admiral Lord Nelson on top, rises in the centre of Trafalgar Square. This most impressive monument is 170 feet (about 52 m) tall. The statue of Nelson, placed facing towards the sea he loved, measures 17 feet (more than 5 m) in height.To the north-east of Trafalgar Square there is the building that houses the National Gallery of Art - one of the most impor­tant Art Galleries in the world - and behind is the National Port­rait Gallery.Quite often the square becomes the location for meetings and in it crowds of Londoners congregate to celebrate political rallies. So it can be said that Trafalgar Square is the heart from which the beat is emitted to all the Londoners.There are many pigeons in the square and Londoners like to feed them. Everybody knows that the dove is the symbol of peace all over the world.
