These stories amount to something more than a celebration of the holidays dotting our calendars from month to month. Each story serves to complicate how we observe the human observation of holidays and offers a nuanced understanding of related themes such as family and motherhood, travel, grief and mourning processes, and memory.
These stories amount to something more than a celebration of the holidays dotting our calendars from month to month.

More generally, holidays are days of observance, and that aspect alone offers a lot to unpack.
