So, how many holidays are we talking about? Well, in the U.S., December 2022 had two federal holidays: Christmas Day (December 25) and New Year’s Eve (December 31), which is often treated as a de facto holiday even though it’s not officially recognized. But wait, there’s more! December is also home to other celebrations like Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Boxing Day (observed in some countries). Plus, many schools and businesses close for winter breaks, giving folks even more time off.

Outside the U.S., December holidays vary widely. For example, in the UK, Boxing Day (December 26) is a big deal, and in many European countries, St. Nicholas Day (December 6) is celebrated. And let’s not forget about cultural celebrations like Las Posadas in Mexico or the Winter Solstice, which marks the shortest day of the year. So, while the number of official holidays might be small, the month is overflowing with reasons to celebrate.

To summarize, December 2022 was a month full of holidays and festive events. Whether you’re counting federal holidays, cultural celebrations, or just the general vibe of holiday cheer, December had something for everyone.
