How to use celebrate in a sentence?

  1. Gearoid Towey:

    I think this is slightly different. There isn't anything, per se, to celebrate. People are locked up in their houses, you're probably going to get some incidents but with all the mental health resources in place, sports will generally know which athletes might be prone to' wigging out'.

  2. Nicholas Pinchuk:

    We are today in a global competition for jobs. And, the best way to make America successful in this environment is to arm our people with the technical capabilities that enable them to win that global contest for prosperity, the upskilling of the American workforce is the seminal issue of our time. We must refocus on technical education, restore our respect for the dignity of work and celebrate technical jobs not as the consolation prize of our society, but as what they really are -- a national calling essential to our ongoing prosperity.

  5. Evgeni Malkin:

    I’m not trying to celebrate too hard, you know? I’m just having fun, we had a couple of good chances, power plays, my partners gave me nice pucks, passes. I tried to do my job, shoot the puck on the power play, play it simple.
