Update: This giveaway is now closed. I will be announcing who the winners by the end of the day on December 14th.
December is one of the best representations of multiculturalism I can think of. People all over the world celebrate in one way or another during this month. Hanukkah is an eight day celebration, known as the Festival of Lights, which commemorates the re-dedication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration which honors African Heritage. Christmas is a one day celebration that marks and honors the birth of Jesus. Each of these holidays have their own symbols and their own traditions, but much of the celebrations center around feasting and gift giving.
This month’s free book giveaway focuses on the major December holidays. With the gracious assistance of Hachette Book Group, we are giving away three different December holiday book sets. To enter this giveaway, you simply have to leave a comment telling me which holiday set you would like to win, by 11:59pm on December 13, 2008. I will pick one winner of each set on December 14, 2008. This giveaway is open to US and Canada only (no PO Boxes please).
