Holidays
Times for celebration, times for sharing, times for loving, times for remembering . . .
Our goal here is to honor many cultures and religions with this listing, and hope that you will help us in this continuing work by contributing suggestions.
- Beltane
- Christmas
- Flag Day - June 14th
- Groundhog Day
- Groundhog Day - The story of Groundhog Day and a collection of links from NOBLE: the North of Boston Library Exchange. Groundhog Day now always makes me think of that excellent movie "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray and Andie McDowell. A good idea is to buy a copy of the video and watch it every Groundhog Day. (Only downside - you may end up humming The Pennsylvania Polka afterwards, and people may think that's a bit weird - but then, why worry what people think?)
- Halloween
- Games for Halloween, originally published in 1912.
- Halloween poem by Robert Burns, plus additional information related to the holiday. This is a really neat poem. Wouldn't it be great to gather the family around and read this poem every Halloween, and maybe not go into a self-induced sugar coma?
- Imbolc
- Independence Day - For citizens of the United States, the Fourth of July.
- Lugnasad
- Memorial Day
- The Boy in Gray - A Ballad for Memorial Day
- Midsummer
- St. Patrick's Day
- Saint Patrick and the Irish, by H. Belloc
- Samhain - The beginning of the Celtic year.
- Thanksgiving
- Valentine's Day
