Holidays Throughout the Year

I don't celebrate a lot of holidays. Sometimes, I don't even celebrate New Year's Day because I'd much rather be asleep than watch a big shiny ball drop. But I do like to research holidays, when I get the chance because holidays aren't just days off of work and school- holidays celebrate something good that happened in the past, or something we hope will happen in the future. Holidays commemorate times we need to remember.

So, whether or not you celebrate Passover or Good Friday or Easter, you might enjoy knowing what and why and how others celebrate it because in a world of misunderstanding, I want to understand.

These are just suggestions- I'm sure you could do a Google search of your own, or even ask friends, and your answers might be more fruitful than mine. Your local library might have books out for you to peruse if you're a little more curious; a little more adventurous.

However, just so you know, the articles I present are not official, and some are more commentary/opinion than a list of facts, fun or otherwise. Feel free to agree, or disagree, but whatever you choose, have a Happy Holiday! We'll see you next Monday, 21 April, refreshed and rejuvenated.
