Listen Podcast:

This is a word that North Africans made up to describe the time between Thanksgiving and the New Year. This is used to give an overview of all the American holidays. Most Canadians and Americans go back to their homes from here. They take time off to celebrate these seasonal holidays with their families. This gives a nice break from work or school during the year.

When school or college is out, students and college students get short breaks, but people who work also get breaks. Holidays that happen at certain times of the year are more often called the “festive season” in English-speaking countries and the United Kingdom. This is partly because of all the holidays between Thanksgiving and the start of the New Year. This is the week between Christmas Event and New Year’s Day, which is why it’s called the “Christmas Holidays.”

At this time, most places of business are closed, and public holidays are called.

When fall and winter come, many people who celebrate holidays at this time of year get excited and start making plans. There are a lot of holidays to learn about, both religious and cultural. Here are some different holidays to remember this year.

What are the Seasonal Holidays?

The time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day is called the Seasonal Holidays. It has Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and the last day of the year.

Some people call the Seasonal Holidays the holidays. Most of the time, these terms are used to talk about all the holidays that happen around this time, whether the person using the term celebrates them or not. Christmas season and Christmastime, on the other hand, are specific terms for the time leading up to Christmas.

People often say “Seasonal Holidays” to each other to wish them a happy holiday season.

Where do Seasonal Holidays come from?

The term “Seasonal Holidays” was first used in the 1800s. Seasonal Holidays is not an official name. It is just a way of talking about a time when there are a lot of holidays to celebrate. It doesn’t have a set date for when it starts, but most people think it starts on Thanksgiving. Still, some people start the holiday fun before Thanksgiving by, for example, putting up Christmas decorations.

The term “festive season” means about the same thing as “Seasonal Holidays,” but it is usually thought to start after Thanksgiving.

The Different Seasonal Holidays 

• Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a seasonal holidays that people from the United States, Canada, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia celebrate. It usually happens on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada. In Japan and Germany, there is also a festival with a name like this one. Families and friends get together to celebrate the holiday with a feast and dinner.

This is to say how happy we are about the good harvest this year. As meals are shared and family values are brought back, there is a sense of community and brotherhood. Turkey is one of the most popular types of food that people like to eat. It is usually served with vegetables, especially pumpkin, that have been seasoned. People think that Thanksgiving has a lot of religious and cultural roots. But now it’s also a holiday for people who don’t believe in God. Saying prayers of thanks is a big part of many religious traditions, and it’s also something that people do after a harvest.

English traditions say that the Thanksgiving holiday dates back to the Protestant Reformation, which is different from North American traditions. Even though the harvest in New England takes place before late November, the roots of the harvest festival are still there. People believe that God has given them special gifts, and Christian churches and other groups celebrate these gifts. In the United States, the Thanksgiving tradition has been going on since 1916.

• Eid-al-Adha

Every fall, the date of the “Feast of the Sacrifice” changes because it is based on the moon. The Islamic holiday (Eid-ul-Fitr) is important all over the world because it remembers how willing Abraham was to sacrifice his son. Families usually wear nice clothes and pray together in a mosque or a large group. They kill their best halal domestic animals as a way to remember what Abraham did. In the end, most of the meat is shared by the community so that everyone can enjoy the party.

• Memorial Day

Memorial Day is only celebrated in the United States. It’s celebrated every year on the last Monday of May and is intended to honor all men and women who gave their lives serving in the U.S. military.

Memorial Day used to be about remembering the people who died in the Civil War, but now it is also about all the soldiers who died in both World Wars, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

• Hanukah

Hanukkah is an important Jewish seasonal holidays that lasts for eight days and nights. It is also called the Festival of Lights. Every year, the start date is different, but it is always in November or December. In the 2nd century BC, the Jewish people fought back against the Seleucid Empire, which had taken over much of the Middle East and made Judaism illegal. Hanukkah is all about the time when Jewish fighters took back the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and were able to practice their religion again. Today, Jews all over the world celebrate the holiday by lighting candles in a traditional eight-branched candle holder called a Menorah, eating oily foods like doughnuts, and spending time with their families and communities.

• St. Nicholas Day

St. Nicholas Day also called the Feast of St. Nicholas, is on December 6. It is the anniversary of the death of St. Nicholas, a Catholic saint who died in the third century and was the model for Santa Claus. St. Nicholas Day is not the same as Christmas. Like Christmas, it is based on a tradition of giving, which comes from the saint’s reputation for being very generous.

People say that St. Nicholas sold everything he owned and gave the money to the poor. He spent his whole life helping and caring for people who were sick and in pain.

The tradition of getting gifts from St. Nicholas started with Dutch children. The night before the holiday, they would leave their shoes out in hopes that Nicholas would bring them a treat.
In the past, good boys and girls were given shoes, stockings, small toys, and candy. When kids were bad, they got sticks, roots, or even coal.

When people moved to New Amsterdam, which is now New York, they brought the tradition with them.

• Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Martin Luther King Day is celebrated on the third Monday of January, which is close to the 15th, which is Mr. King’s birthday. Martin Luther King fought for the rights of African Americans in the area of civil rights. Four years before he was killed on April 4, 1968, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. On November 2, 1983, President Ronald Reagan made the day a holiday. Columbus Day and Washington’s Birthday are the only other federal holidays in the United States that honor historical figures.

Martin Luther King was born in Atlanta, Georgia, which is where many of the day’s events take place. There will be marches, parades, and charity runs, and some of the city’s museums will let people in for free.

• Christmas

Christmas is the Christian seasonal holidays that celebrate the birth of Jesus. It is celebrated all over the world on December 25. “Christmas” comes from “Christ’s Mass” and is based on the liturgical year of Christians. It is also a civil holiday in many countries, and people celebrate by putting lights and greenery on their houses, singing carols, eating holiday foods, and giving each other gifts.

• Las Posadas

From December 16 to December 24, this festival is held. It comes from Spanish Catholicism. This holiday season lasts for nine days. In Guatemala, Mexico, and the Southwestern United States, Las Posadas is also celebrated by a number of other Christian groups. When it’s Christmas, families look forward to going from house to house.

People carry a candle in a paper lampshade that each house signs. This keeps the procession going. When they get to a church or home, the people who are marching stopped. Here, everyone is ready to eat, drink pinatas, and sing Christmas songs. Las Posadas means “The Inns” in Spanish, and it is a way to remember the trip that Joseph and Mary took. They went from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of a safe place for Mary to have the baby. Joseph and Mary went to a stable when they couldn’t find a place to stay in Bethlehem.

Jesus, the Christ Child, was born here. Every town and village in Mexico celebrate this holiday at the right time of year. A little boy or girl dressed as an angel leads the parade through the streets of the town. On this day, the children wear gold and silver clothes and carry candles with them. They also have pictures of Mary and Joseph riding with them on a donkey. The procession may not always be given a place to stay, but they are always given food and drink.

• Kwanzaa

This week-long holiday was made by Maulana Karenga in 1966. It runs from December 26 to January 1. African-American culture is celebrated in the US, Canada, and the African diaspora by decorating homes with colorful art and cloth, reading and thinking about the African Pledge, and lighting candles. During this time, people celebrate seven core ideas: self-determination, unity, shared work and responsibility, cooperative economics, creativity, a sense of purpose, and faith. The week ends with a feast and giving each other gifts.

There are a lot of holidays during this time of year, as well as all year long. Holidays can be even more fun when people celebrate diversity and honor traditions.

• Mother’s Day

The first attempts to make Mother’s Day a holiday to honor mothers were made by women’s pacifist groups during the Civil War. Around the middle of the 1800s, Mother’s Day, which was brought to America by immigrants, became a very important annual event. Teacher and social activist Anna Maria Reeves Jarvis started “Mother’s Friendship Day” in 1858. Anna Maria Jarvis worked to get 45 states to agree to Mother’s Day in 1909. In 1914, the US Congress made the second Sunday in May a national holiday for Mother’s Day.

Like many other holidays, Mother’s Day has become very commercialized over the past few years. Big retail chains and small shops do everything they can to offer deals that will bring in as many customers as possible. Even with all the work, the most precious and heartwarming gifts are still the ones that kids make themselves or cards they make by hand.

One of the most common ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to take our moms out to lunch or dinner so they don’t have to spend the day cooking.

• Boxing Day

Boxing Day is a gift-giving seasonal holidays that started in Britain over a thousand years ago. Yes, boxes are a big part of what people do on Boxing Day.

On that day, it was common for tradesmen to get their “Christmas gifts,” which were gifts of money or goods for good service all year. Do you have any mailmen, handymen, or city doormen who have been especially helpful to you this year?

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the tradition started because servants had to work for their masters on Christmas Day. The next day, they were free to spend time with their families, and their bosses would give them boxes with gifts, bonuses, and sometimes leftover food to take home.

One of the first times these gifts were given in a box was in 1663. In his diary, English politician Samuel Pepys writes that he sent a coach and a messenger to his shoemaker with money to pay his bill and “something for the boys’ box for Christmas.”

Later, during the time when Queen Victoria was in charge (1837–1901), Boxing Day changed. It turned into a time for churchgoers to put money in a box that the minister put out for that purpose. The poor got the money from the boxes.

• Krampusnacht & St. Nicholas Day

Krampusnacht is a Germanic holiday that has been going on for hundreds of years. It is celebrated in Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and of course, Germany. Krampus is said to be the opposite of St. Nicholas, who is celebrated the next day and gives gifts to good children. Krampus is said to punish bad children. His character is based on the Norse god Hel’s son. He has teeth, horns, and a whip. On December 6, people remember St. Nicholas for his strong faith, his focus on giving more than getting, and his care for the poor. Many people celebrate the day to add a spiritual touch to gift-giving and to get ready for the Christmas holiday, which is coming up soon.

• Diwali

This Hindu holiday is also called the “Festival of Lights” because it brightens the mood and atmosphere. Every year, this five-day event usually takes place in November or December. Diwali is a celebration of the fact that an Indian sage named Mahavira reached nirvana. It is also for the anniversary of the death of Hindu religious leader Swami Dayanand. Most people in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and a few other Asian countries celebrate this holiday at this time of year.

The small clay lamps that are lit are the main symbol. This means that good will win over evil power in the end. Everything bad will go away, and piety and righteous living will grow. People who celebrate it wear new clothes that look nice. These are bright and catchy, showing how excited they are and how willing they are to be groomed. People laugh together as firecrackers go off and make a lot of noise. When people want to thank or congratulate each other, they give each other sweets.

This is one of the most important festivals that Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains all host and take part in. It takes place in the Hindu month called Kartika, which is based on the moon. This is a very important Hindu religious ceremony that is all about how light wins over darkness. How good always wins over evil, and how knowing more is better than not knowing anything. People usually clean and decorate their homes, offices, and workshops before this holiday to get ready for it. Oil lamps and colorful art rings called rangolis are out in the open for everyone to see.

• Bodhi Day

On December 8, Buddhists celebrate the day that the Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni or Siddhartha Gautama, became enlightened under a Bodhi tree in 596 BC. Buddha told his followers to blend in with their surroundings and not stand out too much or make a show of themselves. Many Buddhists and non-Buddhists can enjoy and share the lesson about being flexible and humble.

• St. Lucy’s Day

At midnight, everyone stops counting down to the new year and traditionally drinks champagne and kisses the people around them.
