GOING ETHNIC FOR THE HOLIDAYS

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

We might all be part of one nation under God but we’re definitely a mixture of beliefs, religions and celebrations to honor our differences.

Some of us celebrate Christmas on December 25th in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, others honor Hanukkah or the Festival of Lights, which is celebrated for eight nights, starting as early as late November to as late as late December, or Kwanzaa which is a week-long celebration beginning on December 26 and continuing until January 1st which honors African heritage and culture, and even others celebrate the Winter Solstice which occurs some time between December 21 and December 22 each year in the Northern Hemisphere and we can’t forget about Festivus, which is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23rd.

The ECOwomen want to wish you a Very Merry Holiday no matter what it is you celebrate.
