Winter Holidays: From Rosa Parks Day to the Premier of "Mighty Mouse Playhouse"

The small Minnesota town I live in has a pair of nice, safe, "Happy Holiday" banners over the main highway. That ambiguity isn't a bad idea. It allows people to read their own preferred winter holiday into the message. There's quite a variety to choose from, including:

• Yule
• Chanukah / Hanukkah
• Christmas
• Ron Karenga's Kwanzaa
• The Commonwealth's Boxing Day
• New Year's Eve
• Pan American Aviation Day and
  Wright Brothers Day
• Gastroesophageal Reflux disease
  (GERD) Awareness Week
• Rosa Parks Day
• International Children's Day of Broadcasting
• Ice Cream and Violins Day
• Human Rights Day
• The premier of "Mighty Mouse Playhouse" in 1955

Or whatever. There's a pretty good page on December holidays at ButlerWebs.com.
