Merry, Happy, Rejoice, Whatever -a modest list of holy & seasonal days.

If you know of any significant other days of celebration, please add them. There must be more celebrating the end of the dark days. Also, Rosa Parks Day is on the 1st day of December, Human Rights Day is on the 10th, and The Bill of Rights Day is the 15th. MLK Day is January 17th, FDR's the 30th.

I think the Christians pretty much dominate the entire two months. But it's not ALL about Christmas as we so well know. Why are the Focus people and that ...whatever group so whining about? They are trying to homogenize the entire season. I'd call them Bullies for Christ, but that could offend the true Christians.

And every day (maybe even of the year) is a saint's day.

The Advent season: the four weeks before Christmas, hence the Advent calendar and Advent wreath.
Traditionally Christmas has 12 days.

Dec. 6: St. Nicholas Day
12: Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
