Conclusion
The Nancy H. Marshall Collection highlights that there is no one way to celebrate origins or traditions. Holidays are for everyone, whether you observe Hanukkah, Diwali, or Christmas. But, perhaps most importantly, you don't need a national holiday to start a tradition. It does not have to be anything grander than an annual dinner with friends and loved ones, or a dart tournament, or your dorm’s very own take on the Great British Baking Show. All that matters is connecting those around you and celebrating the bonds we have with each other.
