December is the month of Holidays; some are religious,
others ethnic and there are at least one and most often several “special days” each
day.
Starting Tuesday evening the 16th and ending at
sunset on the 24th-Christmas
Eve-is Hanukkah ( or Hanuka) and of course the 25th is
Christmas which in the English tradition
is followed by Boxing Day on the 26th.
The 26th also marks the beginning of the
African-American ethnic celebration of Kwanzaa which ends on New Year’s Day.
For those that need more to celebrate there are these
special days left in this month.
