Rectángulo redondeado: NATIONAL HOLIDAYS

Countries around the world have national holidays. They are, of course, on different days but the ways people celebrate are sometimes the same.
The United States have three holidays that are the same in the rest of the world: Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and New Year´s day. The national holiday is on 4th July. There are many parades with bands. People cook and eat food outside their houses and after that they have a night of concerts and fireworks.
Americans also have another national holiday. Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November. On this day people usually eat some of the foods that they served at the first feast: turkey, potatoes, pumpkin, etc. 
In France, the national holiday is on the 14th July. There are big parades with soldiers, and airplanes fly in the sky. People dance in the streets and many events like concerts or operas are free on that day.
Mexican people celebrate their independence on 16th September. School children march in parades and there are bands and mariachi music everywhere. People eat traditional food called chiles en nogada on this day.
