Celebrating Celebrations
Did you know that there are at least 20 holidays celebrated in the month of December? There are religious, secular, cultural and local celebrations all around the world, making December the most celebrated month.
Most Hispanic countries follow the Catholic Faith. That does not mean, however, that there are not also Jewish and Muslim people in these countries. When we play traditional games or learn about celebrations, I am always sure to look at the cultural aspects, and not the religion, then compare and contrast with our lives.
