在元宵节,欢乐的人们化了妆,穿着五颜六色的嘉年华服装,沿着街道游行。一些人参加仪式,还有一些人参观灯会或猜灯谜。人们互相问候和祝贺。到处都能听到祝福的声音。毕竟,节日有着广泛的起源。有些来自宗教。换句话说,它们的起源与宗教有关。有些节日是纪念名人和重大事件的。丰收节是一个重要的农业节日,充满了欢乐和魅力。人们心存感恩或表达感激之情,因为所有的庄稼都收割了。在欧洲国家,人们用鲜花和水果装饰教堂和市政厅,使其焕然一新。如今,节日正变得商业化,因为商家利用了庆祝活动。随着商业化的渗透,一些传统可能会逐渐消失。尽管节日被商业化了,一些有代表性的节日仍然保留着自己的传统。圣诞节是西方最大的节日。人们互相问候“圣诞快乐”。在平安夜（圣诞节前夕）,人们很高兴能够享用烤火鸡、布丁、土豆泥和南瓜。
