The words we choose shape the spaces we create. Using inclusive holiday language makes room for all traditions, all identities, and all kinds of joy!❄️☺️
Transcription: Inclusive Holiday Language! There are more holidays in December than just Christmas! Some families do not celebrate any holiday this time of year. Here are some of the December Holidays: December 8th: Bodhi Day, December 14th-22nd- Hanukkah, December 16th-24th- Las Posadas, December 21st- Yule, December 25th- Christmas, December 26th- January 1st- Kwanzaa, December 30th- Asarah B’Tevet, December 31st- Omisoka. What can you say instead? Instead of this, say this. Do you celebrate Christmas? —> Are you taking time off this winter? Do you have a Christmas tree? —> Does your family have any traditions or do anything special this time of year? Christmas break —> December break, Winter break, End of year break
