Celebrate! Holidays In The U.S.A. is an introductory survey of the historical and social background of American holidays. It is an upper-intermediate to advanced level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) reader for students of American language and culture interested in the subject of American holidays.

Celebrate! introduces American legal holidays as well as other holidays, celebrations, and commemorations.

As in the first edition, words shown in bold in the text are defined in a list at the end of each unit, and are also in a complete glossary at the end of the book. Each reading passage gives a background of the holiday or celebration, and information about how people honor the day. When relevant, a speech, song, or poem pertaining to the holiday is also included.
