Major Holidays In December

There are 6 major 2016 December Holidays.  By date the holidays are Christmas, Hanukkah, St. Stephan's Day, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa and New Year's Eve! I've always thought that December was one of the best times of the year, so full of fun events, Holiday Cheer, time off from work and school, and lots of great times spent with family!

Sunday, December 25; Christmas - General - one of the most celebrated holidays around the world, increasingly celebrated by Christians and non-Christians alike

Saturday, December 31; New Year's Eve - Workld Wide - In the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Eve (also known as Old Year's Day or Saint Sylvester's Day in many countries), the last day of the year, is on December 31 which is six days after Christmas Day. In many countries, New Year's Eve is celebrated at evening social gatherings, where many people dance, eat, drink alcoholic beverages, and watch or light fireworks to mark the new year. Some people attend a watch night service. The celebrations generally go on past midnight into January 1

A wide variety of multinational festivals and holidays are celebrated around the world, whether within particular religions, cultures, or otherwise.
