Daily Update Christmas Around the World

We have a family that celebrates Hungarian Christmas Traditions, and another that celebrates Chinese Christmas Traditions. It has been a learning experience for me this year too learning about all of the different cultural celebrations! It is fun to learn about all of the similar and very different traditions. Today we learned about St. Nicholas (a Hungarian Tradition). On December 5th children sit out their boots or shoes, St. Nicholas visits their house and fills their boots with goodies (candy, small gifts, oranges, etc...) if they have been good, if they have been naughty they get a stick (switch), Since most children are not all good or all bad most children will get goodies and a switch. At table time we decorated a boot that we will sit by the windows tomorrow to see if St. Nicholas will visit our classroom!
