December is packed with some pretty big holidays, of which, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza tend to dominate the calendar.

That being said, December also offers a variety of other, less well known, occasions to commemorate. Just for fun, we thought we might highlight some of the not-so-traditional holidays that can still be celebrated before the close of the year.
