December is full of joy and reflection – and it’s also a reminder that people celebrate in many different ways. At Insurance Board, we value the diverse beliefs, cultures, and traditions represented across our team and those we serve.
This month, we recognize several celebrations observed around the world, including:
Christmas: a Christian holiday honoring the birth of Jesus Christ with gatherings and gift-giving.
Hanukkah: the Jewish Festival of Lights, celebrating dedication and the miracle of eight days of light.
Kwanzaa: a celebration of African heritage centered on family, community, and shared values.
Winter Solstice: observed in many cultures as a moment of renewal and the return of light.
Festivus: a secular, lighthearted tradition focused on humor and reflection.
Inclusive recognition doesn’t require you to become an expert on every tradition – it’s about practicing awareness, respect, and openness. When we acknowledge the many ways people celebrate, we help create a more welcoming environment for everyone. 💙
