Viele Menschen, vor allem die Kinder, lieben Feste und Feiern. Egal ob Vereinsfeste, Straßenfeste, Familienfeste, religiöse Feste wie Ostern, der eigene Geburtstag, Nikolaus, Weihnachten oder in anderen Glaubenskulturen Chanukkah oder das Zuckerfest, Feste und Feiern sind bei Kinden häufig beliebt, zum einen natürlich, weil diese nicht selten mit Geschenken verbunden sind, aber es gibt auch andere sehr wichtige Punkte die Festen und Feiern eine Bedeutung geben.

Today, celebrating, festivals and rituals with children.
Many people, especially children, love festivals and celebrations.
No matter if club festivities, street festivities, your own birthday, family festivities,
religious festivities like Easter, Santa Claus, Christmas,
or in other religious cultures Hanukkah or the sugar festival,
Festivities and celebrations are often popular with children.
On the one hand, of course, because they are often associated with gifts,
but there are also other very important points that give festivities and celebrations a meaning.
Festivities and celebrations should have a community-based and community-forming effect.
The rituals and rites associated with the festival often refer to a social interaction
and should strengthen the cohesion.
As a result, they often retain an emotional value and remain in people's memory for decades.
For example, in Christmas time, the ritual of baking cookies together,
decorating the Christmas tree, and eating Christmas food strengthen the cohesion and sociality.
Festivities are often recurrent and always have a similar sequence with similar rituals and rites.
Festivities and celebrations can have a religious origin, but of course this does not have to be the case.
Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud described a festival as a permitted and forbidden excess,
a celebratory breakthrough of the ban.
Festivities and celebrations are therefore an alternation to everyday life,
and they can be permitted things that are otherwise not everyday.
When it comes to children, there are often gifts, sweets, you can stay up for a long time,
often there are many people you like, everyone has time,
it can be heard loud music and worries and needs are forgotten for a moment.
Another great advantage of festivals is that important values can be conveyed,
for example the love of neighbors, the mindfulness, gratitude, and so on.
Festivities create many functions in children's interaction.
There is room for special moments and they offer a variety of one-sided everyday life.
Through the festivities, children can acquire many skills,
for example when they are included in planning, organization and execution child-friendly.
This also strengthens self-confidence.
By recurring rituals, similar sequences and a predictability,
festivities offer security and structure in a often positive framework.
