Considerations for Inclusive Holiday and Observances
CONSIDERATIONS FOR INCLUSIVE HOLIDAY AND OBSERVANCES Holiday celebrations are an excellent opportunity to provide a window into a culture or understand more about a group of people, as well as reinforce the diversity of all people’s experiences. Students can engage in rich educational experiences by reading about, researching and experiencing holidays. In order to ensure that holidays and observances are truly educational, they also need to be inclusive and respectful. Below are some important considerations when planning holiday observances in your classroom or school. CONSIDER YOUR STUDENTS Consider the composition of your classroom and who celebrates which holidays. You might think differently about how you approach a holiday if no one in your class observes that day, only a few do or the majority of students do. Do not assume all students of a certain background know about and are interested in talking about a particular holiday and be careful not to place students in the position of being the “authority” or main possessor of knowledge about a holiday’s history and customs. For example, you can’t assume that an Asian American student is familiar with the origins of Lunar New Year or that every one of the Jewish faith recognizes Passover in the same way. Some students (or families) may want to share knowledge around a holiday, and you may want to let them take the lead. Remember, they are speaking from their own experience and it can be helpful to introduce any student presentations with the explanation that there is diversity in the ways people within a group observe different holidays and that this student will be sharing his/her unique way of observing it.

Darkness Is Cheap1 Spooky Similarities and Shared Symbolism Between a Christmas Carol and Groundhog Day By: Thomas M Ciesla January, 2018
Darkness Is Cheap1 Spooky similarities and shared symbolism between A Christmas Carol and Groundhog Day By: Thomas M Ciesla January, 2018 At first glance the storylines of “A Christmas Carol” and “Groundhog Day” couldn’t be more different. Written 150 years apart, Dickens story was heavily influenced by social injustices of the time: poverty, child labor horrors, and social class structure. Groundhog Day was written on a vastly different social fabric, in a place far removed from foggy-smoggy London: sunny and carefree Los Angeles. The former was penned during the oppressive 1800’s of England, while the latter was created on the golden coast of California in the 1990’s. Perhaps these disparities are most apparent in the overall pessimism of A Christmas Carol versus the optimism and somewhat snarky humor of Groundhog Day. Each protagonist has a slightly different way of expressing distaste for others and society in general. Scrooge prefers the more enigmatic “Bah Humbug” to articulate his overall disaffection. Phil prefers the slightly more hostile “people are morons.” Now for some similarities. Winter is omnipresent in each storyline as you would expect given the similar timeframes, but more important are references to the creeping, otherworldly cold. It permeates the neighborhoods, the buildings, the people, and the heart and soul of Scrooge and Phil. It hardens them against the importance of other lives and blinds them to the lack of 1 The title is a play on Dickens comment in Stave 1 of the original manuscript describing Scrooges’ climb up the stairway after seeing Marley’s face on the door knocker: “darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it”.

Festivals of Lights
Festivals of Lights La Chandeleur – Candlemas ; Hanukkah ; Diwali ; Eid al-Fitr La Chandeleur or Candelmas in English takes place every year on 2nd February. The origin and meaning of Candlemas : Candlemas is a Christian holiday celebrated every February 2, or 40 days after Christmas. The term Candlemas comes from "festival of candles", itself translated from the Latin festa candelarum. For the faithful, it is a question of celebrating the fact that “Jesus is light”, as well as the purity of the virgin Mary. Indeed, Candlemas commemorates the presentation of Jesus to the Temple, Jewish tradition requiring that each male firstborn in the family is brought to the Temple 40 days after birth to be consecrated to the Lord. This 40-day period corresponds to the period during which mothers were considered unclean by Jewish law after giving birth, so they were prohibited from going to a place of worship. Once this period had elapsed, mothers could go to the temple to perform an animal sacrifice and thus regain their purity. On the day Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the Temple, Luke's gospel says that a man named Simeon came there, moved by the Holy Spirit and the promise that he would not die until he saw the Messiah. There he took Jesus in his arms and said that Jesus would be 'a light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel'. It is therefore this precise religious event that Christians remember during Candlemas. However, it seems that this festival has more ancient origins, and could be Adapted from : https://icalendrier.fr/religion/fetes-catholiques/chandeleur/ Paula Ann COOMBES https://prononciation-blog.anglais-face2face.fr/wp/ page 1 sur 4 Festivals of Lights La Chandeleur – Candlemas ; Hanukkah ; Diwali ; Eid al-Fitr the resumption of a Roman rite, the amburbiales, linked to the purification of the city of Rome.
