Holiday celebrations are wonderful opportunities for children to learn about the traditions that are cherished parts of people's lives all over the world. Please remember that the stories are just a simplified version of each celebration. As a parent the choice of what holidays to celebrate is yours, but we hope that a sense of humour blended with a little knowledge will help us all make peace in this world by understanding our differences.
