<holidayfyi-glossary slug="holiday-embrace"></holidayfyi-glossary>The act of hugging or embracing family, friends, and community members as part of festive celebrations, signifying reunion, affection, and shared joy across many cultures and holiday traditions. In Western contexts the embrace is standard at Christmas and New Year's Eve reunions; in Latin America it accompanies posada celebrations and Carnaval; in many African cultures communal embracing marks harvest and ancestral festivals, transforming a private emotion into a public expression of the holiday's communal meaning.
