Kwanzaa, from December 26th to January 1st, celebrates African American heritage. Other significant observances include Bodhi Day, Yule (the winter solstice), Las Posadas, St. Nicholas Day, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, and National Human Rights Day. Yule, celebrated around December 21st, marks the longest night and shortest day of the year, symbolizing the rebirth of the sun and the return of light. It is a time for renewal, hope, and reflection, and is considered the start of the new Wiccan year by some, with traditions including feasting, decorating with evergreens, lighting Yule logs, and exchanging gifts.
