Every family and culture has their own holiday celebrations. Aupairs embrace those of their host family and share some of their own.

Many Christians and non-Christians in the US celebrate Christmas Day on December 25. Kwanzaa, a festive, non-religious African American celebration started in 1966 and is celebrated on December 26. It lasts for seven days. On each eay a candle is lit and the day focuses on one of seven principles. A previous post talked about Chanakah.
