If you're unfamiliar with the many holidays that are recognized as National Days in the USA, here are some things to know. While some national days are government-sponsored, others are not. However, recognizing one of these holidays has huge financial ramifications for businesses and marketers. Because national days can attract enormous amounts of consumer attention, companies can use them to promote their products and services in a way that traditional advertising cannot. The average Super Bowl commercial can't garner this type of favorable attention.

The US celebrates a total of 12 national days and a handful of non-official days each year. These days are also observed by many groups across the country. Constitution Day, for example, commemorates the signing of the United States Constitution. Previously called "Citizenship Day," it was made an official federal holiday in 2004. Today, children are taught about the constitution and how it relates to issues of the American government. Another National Day in USA  is Election Day, which takes place on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Voters cast their ballots for elected officials in both local and state government offices. In 1848, presidential elections were held at the same time, but were moved to the same date in 1872 to avoid early results affecting later ones.

Public prayer and national day celebrations have long been a part of American culture. The Supreme Court has even affirmed the right of state legislatures to open sessions with prayer. In Marsh vs. Chambers, the court confirmed that a state could hold a unified prayer on its national day. In the same way, it also recognized the right to publicly pray on the day of its state's independence. In fact, many countries have multiple national days, including the United Kingdom and Denmark.

In 1776, John Adams, the third president of the United States, described Independence Day and its celebrations in his letter to his wife Abigail. But it was not until 1791 that the term "Independence Day" was officially coined. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4, 1826. However, before the American settlers landed in North America, there were other people living in the USA, including Native Americans, who had their own nation and government.

Today, the Fourth of July has become a holiday centered around family celebrations. Families gather for family reunions and barbecues, and fireworks are a common feature of many celebrations. There are many ways to celebrate this holiday and remember those who gave us our freedom and democracy. But regardless of what you do, make sure to take a few moments to celebrate your country's independence. The Fourth of July is an American holiday and we are all Americans, so celebrate it accordingly.

In 1984, Ronald Reagan declared ice cream a nutritious food, attempting to get rid of the excess cheese from American dairy farms. The popularity of ice cream has soared since then, and companies such as Halo Top and Baskin-Robbins have launched special events to celebrate the occasion. The day also marks the beginning of summer, so be sure to enjoy the fruits of your labor! And while you're celebrating, don't forget to share your love of the avocado.
