Whether you're preparing for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or some combination thereof, secular holiday traditions bring spiritual joy in allowing those of different faiths, races and nationalities to come together in celebration. Start at the site above, and take your choice of holidays.
For example, scroll down to Christmas and take a look at "Christmas Around the World." Check out the "Down Under" site for an antler-bedecked kangaroo. Do you know the unusual tradition that accompanies Loksa, a poppy seed bread? You'll find the answer and much more on the "Slovak and Carpatho-Rusyn Traditions" page. What do you do about a Christmas tree in Hawaii? And visit Santa's magic kingdom in Greenland to learn the "last secret" of Christmas.
Finish your world tour of traditions, then go back to Christmas and choose "Happy Three Holidays from the Big Busy House." Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa stories, foods and historical background are all represented at this site.
