Celebrations

As the 25th December, Christmas Day, fast approaches, here are some interesting 

facts around celebrations. 

Many say Christmas celebrates the birthday of Jesus. Others feel that Christmas is a time to celebrate family. Yet others don’t celebrate Christmas at all. During May/June, Buddhists celebrate the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha. 

During December/January Muslims celebrate their messenger and prophet of God, Muhammad. During January, Sikhs celebrate the birth of the founder of the Khalsa. During September, Hindus celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna. 

I apologise if I missed your faith’s celebration. Celebrations are great for people to come together, have a good time and share what is important to them and their culture.
