For anyone interested, here's a list of the holidays celebrated around the world in December. Yes, that includes in the U. S. A. (The Unparalleled Self-indulgence of America)
December 6 is the feast day of St. Nicholas.
December 7 is Pearl Harbor day.
December 8 is Bodhi Day, the day celebrating the Buddha's enlightenment.
December 9 is the Muslim feast day Eid.
December 12 is the feast day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
December 13 is Santa Lucia's day
December 16 to 25 is Las Posadas in Mexico - when they celebrate the nativity by carrying representations of Jesus, Mary and Joseph through the towns looking for shelter.
December 19 is my birthday. Well, it SHOULD be a federal holiday. I will be 44 this year. Anyone interested in making a donation to charity in my name, let me know and i'll e-mail a list of my favorites to you.
December 22 to 29 is Hannukah
December 22 is also the solstice.
December 25 is Christmas day
December 26 is Boxing day in the UK and Canada. I think that we should adopt this holiday in the states. It's a day for boxing gifts and giving them to the needy.
December 26 to January 1 is Kwaanza
December 31 is New Year's Eve
So, when someone wishes you "happy holidays" this year, pick one from the list and thank them. Don't get pissed off because they didn't specifically name YOUR holiday. I'm looking at you, Christians!
Peace.
