Well, it's almost Christmas again. Of course it can't be "almost" "The Holiday[s]" because no one knows when "The Holiday[s]" begins or ends. Why do we call it the Holidays and the Holiday Season anyway? Who's idea was that, I mean originally? When is the actual "Holiday" that "The Holidays" are about? Is it because there are a lot of holidays in December so we just lump them together? That's a problem, because if that's it, then someone will have to decide what the beginning and ending cut-of is. When we do that someone's special favorite holiday won't make the cut and then a whole people group will be offended.
What are the Holiday's that fall in December? I want to do a little experiment. For the sake of argument lets just say that the Holiday Season is December 1 through 31. Without doing any research or Googling anything, make a comment naming every Holiday that you can think of that falls in December. Put a * by your favorite one, but name all that you can think of off the top of your head.
This should be interesting.
