Winter Holidays Around the World: A Journey of Discovery
Meet Alex, a young explorer with a thirst for knowledge. This winter, Alex discovered that not everyone celebrates the holidays in the same way. He learned about Christmas, a festival celebrated by Christians, which marks the birth of Jesus Christ. He found out that people decorate Christmas trees and exchange gifts. In Jewish tradition, he discovered Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, where families light a candle on the menorah for eight nights. Alex also found out about Kwanzaa, an African-American celebration of culture and heritage, which lasts for seven days. And then there was Chinese New Year, a festive holiday filled with parades, lanterns, and dragon dances. Alex's winter journey taught him that though we may celebrate in different ways, the spirit of joy and unity is universal.
