What is your favorite part of Christmas?  My favorite part is decorating the Christmas tree, but my family usually does it on Christmas Eve.  We then leave the tree up until Epiphany and enjoy the lights through the twelve days of Christmas.  Every family has different traditions and ways they celebrate the holidays.

In religion class, we have been learning how children in countries around the world celebrate the season of Christmas.  I have been using a website that has a different country for each day of Advent.  While we have seen most of these in class, we have not had a chance to check it every day, and will not see it for the last few days once we are out of school.

Take a minute and look through the calendar with your friends or family and see if there are any traditions from around the world you might want to start with your family!!
