Abstract: An expanded and rewritten edition of American Holidays (which is now out of print) in easier English.  In addition to the history, customs and celebrations of 17 American holidays, this edition has a very informative section on the historical development of the values upon which America's culture is based (individualism / equality / "doing" orientation, etc.)  An excellent way to share about the American holidays with international friends!  They are presented in the book according to the school year.  Taken altogether, the descriptions tactfully present the gospel and acquaint the reader with Christianity.

Keywords: American holidays, American traditions
