Celebrating the Holidays

hope to all mankind – her day is celebrated with lights and gingerbread cookies – you can bake cookies to help celebrate this day!
December 21 is the first day of winter. The Winter Solstice is a time to celebrate friends and family – make a wreath for the door so everyone that visits feels welcomed.
Chanukah starts December 22. It is an eight day festival of lights in the Jewish faith. Candles are an important part of this holiday – make candles to give as gifts – roll beeswax or make dipped candles
Kwanzaa is based on the Nguzo Saba (seven guiding principles), one for each day
