Celebration is an ancient ritual. It gives us a way to feel good about ourselves and our accomplishments. When we celebrate, we are reinforcing something vital to us. We typically don’t celebrate things that we dislike, do not value, or have no historical significance. Celebrations can be good or bad, joyous or melancholy. We celebrate beginnings and endings such as birth and death. We celebrate important acts through awards for bravery and accomplishment. Celebration enables us to mark important events and people and reflect on what has been in the past to envision what might be in the future.
