Dear Readers,
This month’s flower is the holly.
In the pagan wheel of the year, the winter solstice is the time of Yule. The winter solstice usually falls on December 21st or 22nd. Christmas is celebrated on December 25.
The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah also takes place in the month of December.
In the United Kingdom, the weekday after Christmas is called Boxing Day and is a public holiday. A common story of Boxing Day’s origins is that servants and tradesmen received Christmas gifts from their employers on the first weekday after Christmas. These were generally called their "Christmas boxes."
