DENVER – There are about a dozen holidays celebrated around the world throughout the month of December, according to Time Magazine.

While many of those holidays have connections to religion, others are rooted in culture.

On an upcoming episode of Real Talk with Micah Smith , faith and community leaders discuss the meanings behind Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. They also discuss commercialization's impact on the holidays.

“I'm really of two minds about that (commercialization), because in one sense it's like man, there are a lot of things that are taking people away from what Christmas is really about, which is Jesus,” Matt Wolf, lead pastor of Arise Church Denver, said. “But on the other hand, I kind of love it because there's free advertising all the time for Christmas.”
