Christmas Around the World with Children

I have always loved Christmas. There is just something so special about the time of year. It's not just about the presents, it was the whole magic that surrounded the the holiday. One of the things I loved learning about was the customs of Christmas in other countries. It fascinated me to know that many of our Christmas customs in the United States came from other countries originally. I found it interesting that Santa Claus was known by many different names and that children around the world would celebrate the season slightly different from the way I did. This page is an attempt to bring some of those customs together so you can share them with your children.
