Happy Holidays
It's December and the holiday season is in full effect! Do you
know what that means? It means by the end of the month, you’re
probably going to know all of the words to Mariah Carey’s "All I
Want For Christmas Is You." However, while this month in the US
is dominated by all things Christmas, there are a lot of other
December
holidays that are sure to make this one of the most
exciting times of the year. Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s
Eve take place during this month and we’re excited to celebrate
them all. So, heat up the hot cocoa, dress up in your warm
clothes, and get into the holiday spirit with
InternationalStudent.com!
