The story of Christmas around the world is shared in this HUGE resource that includes coloring pages and copywork about Christmas in Jamaica, Norway, Romania, Switzerland, and Zambia. Kids can discover all sorts of interesting facts about the way families in these countries celebrate Christmas, what they enjoy eating for special Christmas meals, and much more. They can discover what is fluffy and white that floats through the air in Jamaica (hint: it’s not snow), what the people of Norway do on “Little Christmas Eve,” why Norway sends a Christmas tree to the United Kingdom each year, what country awards a marzipan pig as a fun prize at Christmas, why Christmas was illegal for a time in Romania, what country has some of the oldest Christmas carols in the world, where you can make lanterns out of radishes, where you can enjoy Advent windows, how people in Zambia celebrate Christmas, and so much more.
This unit focuses on faith, family, and food traditions and customs. There is no mention of Santa Claus or gift-giving traditions. A short introduction highlights what the Christmas celebrations in the book have in common, and the end of the book focuses on thanking community helpers who don’t always get to take Christmas off to be with their families.
