Winter Holiday Season The end of the year is jam-packed with festivals and holidays celebrating beliefs from many different cultural backgrounds. Here is a quick reminder about the major events that inspire all of the festivities we enjoy during the upcoming month: Hanukkah - December 6 through 14 The eight-day festival of light symbolized by the eight candles of the menorah. Gatherings and festivities involve traditional foods, gifts, and games. Christmas Day - December 25 The day commemorating and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ symbolized by nativity scenes and a decorated evergreen tree. Observations of this day involve music and carols, along with traditional foods and gifts. Kwanzaa - December 26 through January 1 The seven-day festival of harvest symbolized by the seven candles of the kinara, the seven symbols, and the seven principles. Gatherings and festivities include African drums, singing and dancing, along with a large traditional meal. New Year's Eve - December 31 The last day of the year and the close of the holiday season that is celebrated across the world with parties and countdowns during the final seconds before midnight.
