Happy December to everyone as we welcome the festive holiday season. December hosts a tapestry of rich cultural celebrations, with Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa shining brightly and centered around gathering with family and friends. Though distinct in their origins and practices, these December holidays share common threads of light, hope, and unity, illuminating the season with joy and reflection.
