December 25th – Christmas - is an annual Christian holy day which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, son of God.

The English word "Christmas" is a shortened form of "Christ's Mass".

For two millennia, people around the world have been observing Christmas with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature.

December 21st – Winter Solstice – Also called The Longest Night, the winter solstice is a significant time of year in many cultures and has been marked by festivals and rituals. It marked the symbolic death and rebirth of the Sun as the gradual waning of daylight hours is reversed and begins to grow again.

December 26th – January 1st – Kwanzaa - A week-long celebration held in the United States, Kwanzaa honors African heritage in African-American culture. Kwanzaa culminates in gift giving and a communal feast called Karamu, usually on the sixth day.

December 18th – 26th – Hanukkah - The eight-day Jewish celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah commemorates the rededication during the second century B.C. of the Second

Temple in Jerusalem. Eight candles symbolize the number of days that the Temple lantern blazed; the ninth, the shamash, is a helper candle used to light the others. Families light one

candle on the first day, two on the second (and so on) after sundown during the eight days of Hanukkah while reciting prayers, singing songs, and often, exchanging gifts.
