Merry Christmas

Winter Solstice, Yule, Saturnalia...

Happy Chanukah

Eid-al-Adha Ramadan

Kwaanza

Did I miss any?

More specifically "Twas the day before Christmas and all through the Columbus Ohio NAVY refuse collection area... "

A note on the City of Columbus website:

"* For NAVY collection areas, a collection will be made on Monday, December 24, 2007 and again on Wednesday, January 2, 2008."

Think about it... our trash day moved to Monday after Thanksgiving, we get trash pick up on Monday December 24, 2007 our day moves back to Tuesday.... but the next Tuesday is New Years Day so NAVY moves back to Wednesday....

I have a hard time not blogging about trash pick up in Columbus Ohio. The first time I blogged about the system, the schedule, etc. Feb. 21, 2006 - Color Coded Trash is one of the most read entries on this site. Whenever there is a holiday a lot of internet searches end up on it.

For Columbus workers Christmas Day is of course a holiday with no trash being picked up... Same thing a week later with New Years. This year the NAVY area gets the double whammy. I just became obsessed with the color coded trash pick up in 2006...

If you live in the suburbs of Columbus the municipality should have posted what day trash pick up is... rules, regulations, changes in schedule because of holidays etc. The community profile pages on MaureenMcCabe.com has links to many Central Ohio communities.

There's lots of information about all of the winter holidays celebrated by different cultures and religions on the Ohio Public Library Information Network. The Instructional Technology Services of Central Ohio, Inc. site also has info about Chanukah, Ramadan, Christmas and Kwaanza.

Mostly cultural info rather than events... I was searching for info on Chanukah in Central Ohio and could not find much....

From Public Broadcasting via Columbus WOSU info about the symbols of the winter holidays including Hanukkah (Chanukah) Ron Orozco wrote : The menorah candelabrum that people light during this Jewish holiday -- and the eight days that it is celebrated --

I say Chanukah.. he says Hanukkah.... (the spell check on one of my blogs says it is Chanukah.) This blog's spell check wants me to spell it Hanukkah too.)
