My daughter had to create a school passport this week so that she can "visit" other countries while at school to learn about Christmas in those countries. I have only learned about the Icelandic Christmas with the 13 Yule Lads and their mom Gryla when we visited 7 years ago. Then I saw on my Christmas lights post, Debbie talking about Christmas in Germany. So I really want to know how Christmas is celebrated in other countries! I love learning about our world. Please share with me any that you celebrate or have learned about from your travels!

My mother was German and Hungarian. We had three little wax angels with real hair that hung near the top of the tree. My grandmother brought them from Hungary around 1900. I now have one even though we don't have a tree anymore. The poor little thing has gotten rather shabby with age. Mostly what I remember is the baked goods; stollen, pfefferneuse, and springerle. I remember my mother saying when she was a girl they always had real candles on the tree and kept a bucket of water nearby just in case.

Krista we did that at the school I worked at for several years, the kids loved it and so did I. They would rotate among their grade level and hear a story about that country, have a snack also from that country, and make an ornament that related to the country as well. It was so much fun!!
