Cultural Holidays

Laura Honzay

Sacramento State will hold the Annual Holiday Celebration of Cultures Dec. 6 in the University Union lobby. The celebration will give students the opportunity to learn about and express their own individual culture during the holidays.

Holidays are loved and celebrated by people of all nations. They are a time when families and people come together to celebrate and rejoice.Sponsored by University UNIQUE programs and the Student Activities Office, the celebration will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and feature entertainment, exhibits and demonstrations from Sac State organizations, including live entertainment such as holiday songs and dance from various cultures, and a variety of art displays and information.

Demonstrations will be held by Sac State Student Organizations, which comprises over 260 clubs and organizations on campus, and there will be the opportunity to learn about many diverse cultures including major December holidays such as Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, as well as other cultural holidays such as the Chinese New Year.

While many people are unaware of or tend to forget about the true origins of the holidays, this is an opportunity to observe and become aware of the meaning of holidays from many nations.
