Christmas or Celebrations Around the World!


YOUR MISSION!!

Research how Christmas is celebrated in another country and design a greeting card from that country. The card must state, "Merry Christmas" in the language of your chosen country.

Go Beyond: Research how Christmas is celebrated in another country and create a presentation that includes:  traditions, music, food, and interesting facts about the celebration your are reseaching.  Remember, everyone doesn't celebrate Christmas, so explore other celebrations such as Kwanza, Hanukkah, or Sadeh.
