First Sunday of Advent is the first of four Sundays of Advent — the liturgical season of Christian preparation for Christmas, traditionally marked with Advent wreaths, candles, and the progressive anticipation that builds toward December 25. Chadwick Boseman Day marks November 29, 1976, the birthday of the actor who played Jackie Robinson in 42, James Brown in Get On Up, and T’Challa/Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — dying from colon cancer on August 28, 2020, at age 43. International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People was established by the UN General Assembly in 1977 to mark November 29, 1947, when the UN adopted Resolution 181, recommending the partition of Palestine — an observance that takes on different significance depending on the political context of the year. Electronic Greetings Day was established to celebrate the digital greeting card — the email and app-based equivalent of the paper card that generates more than 6.5 billion annual U.S. paper card sales.
