Daily Holidays on the Net is our new website celebrating the daily, weekly, and monthly holidays of the year. We've been celebrating the holidays of the year at our other website, Holidays on the Net (www.holidays.net), for years now and thought we'd invite you to join in the fun.

Right now our website is celebrating the daily holidays of 2008. And in 2009: 2009. And then 2010, 2011, and every year forward. Yes. Our memberships are for 1 year. So as an example: If you join on May 01st - your membership will continue until May 01st of next year. It doesn't matter when you signup because you'll always celebrate a whole year of Daily Holidays! See similar questions...

Oh, Kath. Your family is going through it. You are in my prayers with them all. Bless you, Kath. And I mean that. Chanukkah is over already, but we kept it very low-key, observing the first and last days at the shul with my congregation. My children and their families observe Christmas, and my son is still in southern California -- for a little(!!!!) while longer. My daughter is here, so we had a nice dinner and games with them much of the day yesterday at her house. See similar questions...

November 1, Samhain (pronounced Sow-en in Ireland (with "sow" to rhyme with "cow"), Sah-ven in Scotland). This is the Celtic new year. It is the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. At this time we gather to rejoice that we have survived another year and to honour those who have not. It is this association of communion with the dead that has led to the popular practice of Halloween. Samhain is not a Celtic god of the dead, despite novels by Ray Bradbury or the Ghostbusters cartoons. See similar questions...
