There are 50 states and one special district in the United States. In terms of vacation arrangements, in addition to major traditional holidays (such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.) and federal holidays such as national anniversaries (such as Independence Day), many states will arrange some anniversaries separately, or although on the same day Vacations, however, have different themes and cultures, resulting in great differences in vacation arrangements. In order to prevent customers from ordering flowers and the delivery time coincides with US holidays, when the delivery time conflicts with local holidays, the system will automatically arrange the delivery before or after the holiday. Holidays set separately by other states are not listed in this article, but the national holidays are as follows:
1. New Year’s Day
Date: January 1st every year
Festival type: National holiday
2. Martin Luther King Day
Date: Third Monday in January
Festival type: National holiday
Martin Luther King Day is celebrated on the third Monday in January every year. The commemoration began in 1986. For Chinese people, the most familiar speech is Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech "I Have a Dream" in front of the Lincoln Memorial and his efforts to promote equal rights for blacks. In 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. received the Nobel Peace Prize and was assassinated four years later. Today, Martin Luther King Day has become a holiday that promotes the idea of equality for all people regardless of skin color or race. Among the many federal holidays in the United States, Martin Luther Day was established relatively short to commemorate his contribution to equal rights.

Since Abraham Lincoln's birthday is also in mid-February, some states will pay special tribute to Lincoln in general. The earliest celebrations originated in the District of Columbia in 1880.
