both Christmas and New Years. While my parents weren't against other cultures (hell, my mother grew up in a hugely diverse part of immigrant Boston during the 40's), it was only the "national" holidays that were talked about when I was growing up and it was Christmas and New Year once you got past Thanksgiving.

In my high school, girls who turned up pregnant had to wear a coat to cover it up the failure of the health class abstinence message.
