From the snowy peaks of Europe to the warm beaches of the Southern Hemisphere, the spirit of Christmas resonates. Pack your bags (and maybe a cookie for Santa) as we jet-set to explore Christmas celebrations across continents:
1. Spain’s ‘El Gordo’:
Christmas in Spain means “The Fat One”, not Santa, but their massive national lottery. Teach the kids about how communities come together, hoping for a holiday jackpot.
2. France’s Yule Log:
French families traditionally burn a Yule log from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day. This custom keeps the house warm and ushers in prosperity.
3. Colombia’s ‘Little Candles’ Day:
Before Christmas kicks off, Colombians celebrate ‘Dia de las Velitas’, where streets and homes are adorned with candles and lanterns, lighting up the night in a dazzling display.
4. Poland’s Wigilia Feast:
Share the story of the starry Polish night when families gather for ‘Wigilia’, a hearty meal that only begins when the first star is seen in the night sky.
5. Ireland’s Candle Windows:
In Ireland, it’s tradition to place a candle in the window on Christmas Eve, symbolizing a welcome to Mary and Joseph.
Conclusion:
The world is vast and so is the array of festive traditions that envelop it. At Kids ‘R’ Kids, our journey is to infuse every day with global learning, making sure our tiny trotters appreciate the beauty of shared celebrations.
