Holiday Greeting


Recommended Posts

Hello! My name is Autumn and I am currently learning ASL (I have taken 4 semester through Gallaudet) and the college where I work is creating a holiday video greeting in a variety of languages and I would really like to have them include a greeting in American Sign Language since we have a number of alums who are Deaf and use ASL.  I know how to say basic greetings "Happy Holidays from Grinnell College" but the script they want is “May it always be the season … to embrace our differences … and celebrate global understanding. Happy holidays from Grinnell College.” This is more complicated than I know how to sign.  Would anyone be willing to help me figure out the most appropriate way to sign this sentiment?

The video recording is not working for me and it won't let me upload my own recording so let me know if you'd like to see this translation signed.

Let me know what you think of this translation: now, here, we dif-dif-dif embrace/love, world connections celebrate. Hope always stay. Happy Holidays... etc. 

It's a little abstract but I think it demonstrates the conceptual/visual nature of ASL and conveys the message appropriately.

If you are interested, please let me know! We could exchange contact information. However, I am from Oklahoma, so some of our signs may differ regionally!
    • A few years ago I found out my school system offered ASL so when I was old enough to take it I jumped at the opportunity. Since then I have fell head over heels for the language. I have been learning it for a few months now and am still pretty basic, but I think I may want to interpret when I am older.
    • Finding a good practice partner for ASL can make a huge difference in learning! Conversations in real time help build confidence and improve fluency much faster than studying alone. It’s just like academic writing—sometimes, even with all the right resources, you still need extra support. That’s why many students look for help with nursing essays to manage their workload and improve their writing skills. Having the right support, whether for language learning or coursework, can make the whole pr
