In this day and age Americans have commercialized Christmas. For most, it is a secular holiday during which gifts are exchanged and sales last from the day after Thanksgiving until the end of the year. The holiday, begun in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga is a secular holiday celebrating African heritage. Americans celebrate the new year by getting together, in private residences or in public gatherings, for parties. In New York s Times Square a huge lighted ball drops down a pole just before midnight.
Similar celebrations take place in other cities.
