Gathering together for the end-of-the-year holidays is a tradition that dates back to the very beginning of Christianity. In other areas, Chanukah was a holiday for 2 centuries BCE.
Buddhists have a tradition of coming together at the start of each lunar calendar for what they see as a new beginning. Families clean homes (which symbolizes renewal), share meals, and participate in temple rituals for blessings and good fortune.
We find family togetherness in many traditions around the world.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
