As a salty old fellow myself (at least, according to my business card), I agree with Peewee. December has too many holidays! I mean, there’s the one there at the end, and...
No, that’s about it, regardless of your personal beliefs. Does he think that a lot of people are celebrating multiple religious holidays? Folks out there shopping for Kwanzaa, Christmas, and Hanukkah? Do people do that? There’s no reason why they couldn’t! None at all! I just have a hard time thinking that most people do. I’d be really interested in finding out, though.
According to Wikipedia, “While in other countries the only holidays included in the "season" are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, St. Stephen's Day/Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Epiphany, in recent times, this definition in the U.S. has begun to expand to include Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.[31] The expansion of the holiday season in the U.S. to encompass Thanksgiving is believed to have begun in the 1920s, when in major department stores Macy's and Gimbels were launched dueling Thanksgiving Day parades to promote Christmas sales .[32] ”
So I guess that if you DO celebrate all of those, then it’s a pretty busy couple of months!
