Usual Things in the US That Confuse Non-Americans
One of the first things a foreign visitor notices upon entering the United States is flags. In some respects, the United States is a completely different world from everywhere else, so let's look at what's typical there that confounds visitors. There are American flags everywhere—on houses, schools, even clothing, such as shorts and t-shirts—and they have changed 27 times in American history. The current American flag was not designed by the government, although there was a competition in 1958 to create a new flag design.

JESUS And Christmas
The predominant association tied to Christmas revolves around commemorating the birth of Jesus. However, the specific date of Jesus' birth has been a source of debate over time. Scholars and theologians, Pope Benedict XVI among them, agree that December 25th is not the actual date of Jesus' birth. Consulting the scriptures for clarity poses a challenge, as the New Testament lacks any mention of Jesus being born on December 25th or any specific date.
