    I’ve never thought about it until now, but there are definitely different definitions (or at least uses of the word) for celebrate. You might celebrate your wedding, but you certainly don’t have the same type of event for your anniversary. Same for your favorite sports team winning the championship, vs any observance of previous victories.

      Yeah i interpreted this more like a celebration of an anniversary than a victory of a match. Looking at it for a second time i also see this could be written about something that hasn’t happened yet, while i read it as celebrating something that happened once.
