Think about your family or community. How do you work together to help each other while preparing for a festival or any other occasion?

During festivals, everyone in my family and community works together. At home, we clean the house, decorate it with lights and flowers and make tasty food. My parents buy things from the market and I help by setting the table or putting up decorations.
