Christmas Eve, 1973. I wish I could remember who made the beautiful red papier-mâché dog at front, and who it was gifted to! #christmas #memory #memories #christmasmemories #xmas #1970s #twentiethcentury #holiday #holidays #wintersolstice #solstice #winter #stluciaday #kwanzaa #hanukkah #boxingday #BarbraStreisand #theowlandthepussycat #gift #gifts #gifting #givinggifts #christmaseve #traditional #traditions #holidaytradition #holidaytraditions #friend #friendships #papiermache #art #art

I have been an Atheist the majority of my life, but I still enjoy celebrating holidays.

My Winter Solstice card in 1986 included portraits of my three pets--Naomi, Iris, and Winslow. We're looking out over the fields of a then-undeveloped Pennwood. #greetings #greeting #wintergreeting #solsticegreetings #holiday #winterholiday #winterholidays #Yule #ShabeYalda #DongZhi #Soyal #Saturnalia #Christmas #Hanukkah #Kwanzaa #StLucysDay #hogmanay #winter #celebration #wintercelebration #wintercelebrations #flamingo #flamingos #santahat #santahats #lawnornaments #lawnornament

Lewistown had a major resurgence of painted holiday windows, this solstice season, and this resident couldn't be happier. HUZZAH! #solstice #wintersolstice #christmas #hanukkah #stluciaday #boxingday #kwanzaa #holiday #holidays #winterholidays #paintedwindows #decorated

Kwanzaa, which is a week long—still went by so fast. Today is the last day of Kwanzaa. I hope you had a happy one!

Happy New Year! Today is also Imani (Faith), the last day of #Kwanzaa which we have been celebrating as a community since the day after Christmas. We gathered and ate food from the African diaspora: jollof rice, jerk chicken, etc. I also made the unity cup for the Kwanzaa table this year decorated with black, red and green foraged clays. It’s easy to identify what we’re against but celebrating the principles of Kwanzaa reminds us what we need more of in 2026 and beyond. #BlackFedi
