Our local Unitarian Universalist fellowship is considering puting a notice in the newspaper to recognize all the various religious and secular holidays/celebrations in December. It's partly to remind people that Christmas isn't the only holiday in December.
I know of Bodhi Day, Christmas (Feast of the Nativity), Chanukah (Festival of Lights), HumanLight, Kwanzaa, Yule (Winter Solstice), and Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). Did I miss any others?
Do you think there is any need to include the Feast Day for Saint Andrew, Advent Sunday, St. Nicholas Day, Saint Stephen's Day, and Childermas (Feast of the Holy Innocents)? Corrections? Suggestions?

Part of the reason for the ad is to educate people about the various holidays that fall within December this year. "To our Buddhist neighbors, we wish you a Happy Boddhi Day. To our Humanist neighbors, we wish you a Happy HumanLight." And so forth.

Sixth generation Universalist here. Thumbs up to your trying to raise awareness. It's tricky when you attemp something like this because you risk criticism if you forget one. But, some people will never be happy. They won't see your attempt to broaden awareness, they'll only see that their favorite was left out. To them I say, get a life.
This site below might give you some additional ideas.
