Celebrating our holidays

"Some holidays are celebrated on one day every year. Others have celebrations that last longer. One of these holidays is Hanukkah, which lasts for eight days and nights. Hanukkah is a special holiday for Jewish people around the world. It begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew, or Jewish, month called Kislev, which is in either November or December on the Western calendar used in many places around the world, including the United States"--Provided by publisher.

"Every year on November 11, Americans celebrate Veterans Day. This is a day set aside to honor veterans-people who've served in the military. Some veterans fought in wars, while others served their country during times of peace. Veterans Day celebrates all of these brave people. It's important to learn about what veterans have done for their country so you can better understand why this day is so special"--Provided by publisher.

"At its center, Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom. It's a holiday that connects Black Americans with the history of enslaved people in the United States. It encourages them to come together and work toward a future where freedom means more than just not being enslaved. It means equality"--Provided by publisher.
