How to Create Special Days

"National" Days Definition

Roots Day

Date When Celebrated : This holiday is always on December 23

Celebrate your genealogy, as today is Roots Day.  It's a great day to celebrate your heritage. Many of us are returning to our roots today, as we head home for Christmas. Returning to our roots is a warm, cozy and comfortable feeling, a sense of belonging.

A hobby and a quest: Many people get caught up, and become captivated, with researching and uncovering their family roots. This hobby is the study of Genealogy. Genealogy can take interesting twists and turns. We often discover we come from exciting and fascinating places. We find links to famous people in history. Sometimes, we come upon dead ends to our genealogical family tree. Other times, we find a distant relative, who has performed some of the very same research. The result of the encounter could be huge sections of the family tree, literally handed to you.

Celebrate this day, by learning more about your family tree, and exploring your roots.

Thought for Today: "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture, is like a tree without roots." - - Marcus Garvey

 We all can certainly relate to the importance and the need of finding our roots. Its a sense and a need of belonging, that is ingrained in our being.  So, we fully understand why this special day was created. But, we have yet to uncover the roots of "Root Day" - -  who created it and when?

We will continue to dig and explore this day until we have uncovered and exposed the roots of this very special day.
