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.
