Presently, the original meaning of festivals are forgotten while presenting process, and most of us consider to have fun. While during festival time .I do not agree that lack of remembering festivals mean.
On the one hand , religious and traditional festivals begin to celebrate as common celebrations. People are enjoying while celebrating festivals due to named exactly holidays. To explain, most religion festivals are seen as a holiday period. In the UK, Christmas is a good example of such festival period despite of this celebrate as a festival, that was named holiday due to commemorationing globally. This is why, the local area decorate their homes , go shopping , make a dance and celebrate they with themselves wherever they want without preparation separately for citizens.
On the other hand , there are some negative sound of the idea that the underlying meaning of such festivals has beenforgotten. The main reason is seen when they are not taught enough while learning traditional and religious culture. As a result this makes people forgetting their identity and they could face in excess of entertaining while making festivals. In some countries, people learn about religious or traditional festivals from the period of primary school as a separate science and they focus on ackquaring a knowledge its details.
In conclusion, although people mainly want to enjoy during festival according to their behavior which is signed for many years . I believe they should be a knowledgable about religious culture ,the reason for happening in basis orderly while having a good time.
