From Día de los Muertos to Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, the fall and winter seasons are full of holiday celebrations and all the things that come with them: making memories with family and friends, expressing love and gratitude, and reflecting on historic events that have shaped our lives and communities across generations.
There’s often so much good energy flowing from November through January that you don’t have to recognize any particular holiday to understand what makes this time of year so special. In fact, a growing number of Americans say they don’t celebrate any holidays at all.
But whether you’re decorating with diyas for Diwali, waiting up for Santa or just enjoying a few days off work – there is still that little something in the air for many, including our One Amazing Team. Read on to learn more about some of the cultural and religious holidays observed right here within our Texas Children’s family.
You can also share your own most cherished team, family, holiday and seasonal traditions with our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team via e-mail. We’d love to hear your story and potentially feature it on Connect or our Texas Children’s social media page!
