The Holidays
Why do we celebrate what we celebrate? Christmas, Halloween. What are the origins of these popular holidays? Where are the roots of these holidays found? I have provided resources on these pages gathered from various sources to help you learn about what we celebrate and why, and, perhaps, to open your eyes to the possibly shocking origins of some of your favorite holidays. Each holiday's page includes a discussion board, so you can easily share your thoughts if you'd like.
Holiday Pages:

Hopefully more holidays to be added!
Also, history.com, the official website of the History Channel, has comprehensive materials on the history of the holidays including videos and articles. Click here to visit history.com's The History of the Holidays page!
