December 8th is the day Mahayana Buddhists celebrate Shakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment. if you want to join the fun, go out and do something nice for someone. hanging multi colored lights to represent the many paths to enlightenment, try living by the 5 precepts for a day, its a really good day to start 
To dull-rooted ones who delight in lesser dharmas,
And who are greedily attached to birth and death,
Who, under limitless Buddhas,
Have not walked the deep and wondrous Path,
Oppressed by scores of sufferings,
For them I speak of Nirvana.
