Sukkhot is celebrated because it is a time to remember and celebrate the time when the Israelites were travelling through the wilderness for 40 years, with God's protection. In Sukkot, to feel what the Israelites felt, Jews have to sleep for a week in the shelter that the Israelites slept in, a sukkah which is basically a little shelter with enough room to eat a meal in it and even sleep in it. It may be decorated with flowers, posters, cards, wine, fruits, etc. The foliage over the Sukkah should be thin enough to see the stars.
