Celebrations Around the World

12/8/2017

Few months present the multicultural "teachable moments" that December does! The following multicultural events and celebrations are among those that will happen this year:
  • Saint Nicholas Day (Christian)
  • Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexican)
  • St. Lucia Day (Swedish)
  • Hanukkah (Jewish)
  • Christmas Day (Christian)
  • Three Kings Day/Epiphany (Christian)
  • Boxing Day (Australian, Canadian, English, Irish)
  • Kwanzaa (African American)
  • Omisoka (Japanese)
  • Yule (Pagan)
  • Saturnalia (Pagan)
I'm not saying 'be politically correct and stop saying Merry Christmas'.  No.  I think most people will hear the intent of good will.  I'm saying......notice.....that we are all different and yet fundamentally alike and that during December many, many different cultures and religions stop to celebrate each other.  Let's learn from them and celebrate each other....the similarity that we all matter and the differences too!

Happy Hannuquanzamas!

Lee
