Can you help me put together a list of American customs and traditions?

Answer by  Peregrina (28)

Americans have many traditions, many of which revolve around holidays. At Christmas, many people decorate a Christmas tree. At Easter, children receive baskets of treats and hunt colored eggs. Non-religious traditions include grilling out on July 4th, eating with family on Thanksgiving, and dressing up for Halloween.

A big one is that there are fireworks on July 4th to celebrate Independence Day. Thanksgiving is all about big dinners with family and eating turkey, as well as the Thanksgiving Parade and watching football.

The family unit was so unified, unlike today. Families ate meals together, without exception, you were home for supper. Sunday was a family day when you visited family or entertained family. We attended church every Sunday as a family. Not being overly religious, it was still a family thing.
