What does "play" mean in Sunan an-Nasa'i 1556 Book 19, Hadith 1?

What does *"play"* mean in the following hadith: >It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: > >"The people of the Jahiliyyah had two days each year when they would play. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Al-Madinah he said: 'You had two days when you would play, but Allah (SWT) has given Muslims something instead that is better than them: the day of Al-Fitr and the day of Al-Adha.'" > >*Sunan an-Nasa'i 1556 Book 19, Hadith 1* ? Since Al-Fitr and Al-Adha are days of celebration and celebration has almost no relation with *play* , so what is *play* particularly referring to in this hadith here? And is what it's referring in sync with the literal definition of the word? *Reasoning required.*
