A Party, a social gathering
"A party is a gathering of people who have been invited by a host for the purposes of socializing, conversation, and recreation. A party will typically feature Party Food and beverages, and often music and dancing as well. Don't forget to visit our party planning section to get some great ideas on planning your next holiday party. Oh and, don't forget about the party games!
Some parties are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event-
The observance of a holiday
"In all of the English-speaking world, including North America, holiday may refer to a day set aside by a nation or culture (in some cases, multiple nations and cultures) for commemoration, celebration, or other observance. Schools, business, and workplaces often close for holidays."
Birthdays are considered a holiday too!
Everyday is someones Birthday and did you know Birthdays are considered a holiday too? Yep, a personal holiday. In Western cultures, particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, birthday parties are often accompanied by colorful decorations, such as balloons and streamers. A birthday cake is often served with candles that are to be blown out after a “birthday wish” has been made."
Many companies give their employees a paid day off for their birthday!
Keep in mind that a birthday party is not always a celebration for the living. Whattt? Nope, by no means! There are many observances in honor of famous writers and poets. A great example of this is "Burns Night."
A Burns supper is a celebration of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns, author of many Scots poems. The suppers are normally held on or near the poet's birthday, 25 January, sometimes also known as Robert Burns Day or Burns Night (Burns Nicht), although they may in principle be held at any time of the year.
Burns suppers are most common in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but occur wherever there are Burns Clubs, Scottish Societies, expatriate Scots, or lovers of Burns' poetry.
Burns suppers may be either formal or informal. Informal suppers typically include haggis (a traditional Scottish dish), Scotch whisky and the recitation of Burns' poetry.
