The Importance of Celebrating a Holiday
Sonali Perera
Celebrating holidays are some of the core aspects of any culture. Whether it is a religious holiday, a wedding, or a festival our celebrations are woven tightly into our overall cultural identity. Being a first generation Indian, I grew up celebrating these traditions. Now, as a mom raising 2nd generation kids, I hope to celebrate some of these same traditions and holidays I fondly remember along with the new holidays we celebrate from our American culture.
We hope you find this section helpful so when a traditional holiday approaches, you can start planning, involve the kids and create your own memories like the ones you remember from your childhood.
