Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I would like to do a Christmas around the World unit study.

I have no idea how to take my idea and make it a reality.

Can you help? Good book suggestions? Craft? Foods? Any ideas, brainstorming, etc is all appreciated!

Can I pull this off, with a month or so to plan it? I have to have it somewhat planned out or I know I won't stick to it. (I'm so bad.)

This is a topic I have wanted to do as well - though mostly focusing on the 3 main ethnic cultures of our family. We've added some customs and traditions from the cultures each of the last several years but haven't doen a full blown unit on customs around the world.

Some past threads - several have the type of info you are looking for.

I guess it's that time to gear up for Christmas, huh?

Laura, if you have Christmas Mosaic, there is a list of picture books representing "Christmas Around the World".

Our family really enjoyed This Way To Christmas that we read last year.

The link brings you an online copy of the book - our library had a nice hardcover copy. There is a main story and then other tales from other countries woven in - really nice book.
