Why We Celebrate November

Celebrating a new year or holiday is a great way to begin the new calendar year. But did you know that many of these celebrations are longstanding traditions? Nov. 1st, for example, is when people in America celebrate Thanksgiving. So, there’s no point in asking yourself “why do we celebrate November?” when you could instead ask why we celebrate Thanksgiving!

Why celebrate December

December is a time to reflect on the past year and prepare for the new one. It’s also a time to celebrate the accomplishments of people and things. Here are some reasons to celebrate December:

-It’s the month of Christmas. The holiday is celebrated worldwide, and it’s a time to be surrounded by family and friends.

-It’s the month of Hanukkah. This Jewish holiday celebrates the victory of light over darkness. Families gather to celebrate by lighting candles in Menorahs, and they eat Kiddush wine.

-It’s the month of Kwanzaa. This African-American holiday celebrates cultural identity and community. Families celebrate by exchanging gifts, having a party, and singing songs.

The origins of the December celebrations

November is a month that we celebrate for a variety of reasons. Some believe that it is the month when the Christmas celebrations begin, while others believe that it is the month when winter officially begins. Whatever the reason, we all enjoy celebrating in some way or another in November.

Some of the most popular celebrations in November include Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Each of these celebrations has its own unique history and meaning, which we will explore in more detail below.

Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates the harvest season and the Pilgrims who arrived in America to start a new life. The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the Pilgrims on November 26th, 1621, and it was a very simple affair. They ate turkey and other traditional American foods like cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

Hanukkah is a holiday that celebrates the victory of Israel over Judah Maccabee in 168 BC. The Jewish people had been enslaved by the Greeks, but one day Judah Maccabee (known as a miracle worker) led an army against the Greeks and won their freedom. As a thank you, the Jewish people celebrated Hanukkah (meaning “ded ication” or “dedication of the altar”) with a feast consisting of foods that symbolize the miracle and great victory. The festival is celebrated in December and lasts eight days, which includes many customs like: candles, menorah (a seven branched candlestick), songs and dances.

Food is a very important part of the Jewish religion and culture. Each year throughout the year, many events are held where people celebrate their beliefs through food and drink. Some Jewish holidays include Pass over (a retelling of the story of Moses), Purim (a holiday celebrating the Persian story of Iranians who tried to exterminate all Jews, but were instead miraculously saved from being destroyed by Haman) and Channuka (celebrating Rosh Hashanah and Tishrei). During these holidays, the Jewish people eat foods that symbolize these beliefs. The Jewish religion is rich in culture, traditions and customs.

There are many reasons why people celebrate Christmas, and each person has their own reason for why they enjoy this holiday.
