Holiday Freebies 2021

[CathyY]

Hi everyone. 

I've done some freebies for Christmas, but I feel like I'm leaving a lot of people out.  All of my graphics are Christmas related.
Could you help me out with ideas for other December holidays and graphics I could use for them.
I know that Chanukah is in there and I can use dreidels, menorahs and the Star of David.  Are there any other images I could use?
All I know about Kwanzaa is that it's about African-American culture.  So I can use all the help I can get on that one.
Are there any other holidays I don't even know about?  If there are, please let me know.  I don't want to leave anyone out.

I will try to help but we do it a bit differently in my region, that is Balkan (north of Italy), and my countries and that is Serbia, Montenegro and also Bosnia and Hercegovina. I will skip the part about 2 Christmases it blends into 1 I guess in the New Year. Beside usual decorations, we have more traditional that is used for Orthodox Christmas. We use Young oak trees like Christmas tree (we call it badnjak), traditionaly it is brought from woods and at the Christmas eve we make a fire out of it,... Now there are some other decorations too, but we mostly make Christmas decorations from Laurel wreaths and oranges. Ok here are links and well my grandad and I used to go to woods and bring small oak trees, though there are lotsof older believes to in it and it is all mixed... I actualy am interested in all that :) Ok here it goes, badnjak or young oak tree that we burn for Christmas tree or just use for decoration, now here is how it is done sometimes by the seaside when laurel is used, and finaly laurel wreath as decoration but most common is with full oranges but I cant find the picture now, and as bonus :) Christmas as we celebrate (7th january) just 1500m behind I have a flat in Belgrade, to the left is a chirch dedicated to St . Sava I was baptized and to the right is now biggest temple in the Balkan, when my grandad was in army in Belgrade around 1930 they started to build it but as things got complicated it was stopped and I think 1990 they continued the work. Now it is almost finished, and inside is nicely done though it is very large  :merryxmas: I am hoping that I was not boring, I could say few words of how thingslook like here by the seaside but oh well... I might do it some other time, things are a bit strange lately due to Corona and other changes. Here are some pictures of how it looks inside btw, a bit strange mix of older architecture and newer double glass doors :) Going to study now, this week will be critical, if I can make it all things are almost over. Just need to do one more midterm paper till next saturday

Thank you all for the ideas.
I'll be adding a yule log Aelin.
MilosGulan:  First of all, good luck on your midterms!  That church is absolutely beautiful.  I tried my hardest, but couldn't find a decent graphic with the laurel wreath.  I did find a couple of graphics for the Badnjak.  Are these alright?
