However, each nation has its own traditions, customs and values partly reflected in the celebration of the New Year festival.

Mardi Gras has spread throughout the ages, and will continue to expand. Festive traditions of Mardi Gras have spread overseas to New Orleans, Louisiana, Cadiz, Spain, Venice, Italy, and Rio de Janeiro. In the United States the celebration goes above and beyond.

First, Chinese Americans preserve their ethnic identities through holidays. One of the biggest holidays is the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year is different from the regular New Years in that it relies on the moon cycles instead of the western calendar, so it falls on different days each year. There is a lot of preparation that goes into the Chinese New Year. People start cleaning their houses and decorating them with spring couplets on the twentieth day of the twelfth moon. Spring couplets are short poems written on red scrolls of paper in black. A popular New Years tradition in the United States is the exchanging of red envelopes containing money, which are called hong-bao. Most families spend this holiday celebrating together because this holiday, above others, emphasizes family and family ties.

Memorial Day is held in honor of the brave soldiers whose lives were lost while serving the US military. This normally falls on the last Monday of May and is considered the start of the summer season.

Christmas is a holiday that has been celebrated for hundreds of years, but not in the ways you’d think. All around the world, there are different traditions revolving around Christmas, like Father Christmas in Britain and Santa Claus on the North American continent. There are also many foods related to the holiday, such as candy canes, ham, goose, and many more delectable food items from all over the globe. The modern Christmas in North America wasn’t like the ways we remember and celebrate today only a few hundred years ago, because they didn’t even celebrate it in Boston, “In the early years of Christianity, Easter was the main holiday; the birth of Jesus was not celebrated.” (History of Christmas). The true history of Christmas is far different from what you might imagine, since Santa Claus was a widely disputed person, from him being, “described as everything from a “rascal” with a blue three-cornered hat, red waistcoat, and yellow stockings,”(Santa Claus) to him being a jolly old elf in a red suit. Even though all the history of Christmas might not be what you think it is, it can still be good to know what the true history of Christmas is. (“History of Christmas”)

Nontraditional music theatre has rarely attracted the volume of attention that Opera or Broadway musicals have achieved. Perhaps because it has no traditional form, no set parameters to construct or convey an artistic idea. It embraces and makes use of all forms and styles of music, theatre, and media. This broad spectrum of available techniques, methods, styles, forms, technologies, etc., has created endless possibilities by which to create and perform art.
