Story of Christmas Around the World Coloring Book, Vol. 6

Description

The story of Christmas around the world is shared in this HUGE resource that includes coloring pages with copywork about Christmas in Argentina, Ghana, Iceland, Vietnam, and Wales. 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 when the Christmas season officially starts in Argentina and what animals you might add to your Nativity set, what an asado is, what a globo is and what part it plays in Christmas celebrations, what kind of trees you decorate in Ghana, why some families in Iceland hang Christmas lights in October, what smelly dish is part of the days leading to Christmas in Iceland, how the “Christmas flood of books” tradition began, how people in Vietnam celebrate Christmas, when you can celebrate “Toffee Night” in Wales, when the special Plygain service is held, 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.
