Christmas in many languages

Summary

The idea of this project is to share both the images of Christmas in our countries and also the vocabulary of Christmas, by making simple presentations with clear captions which can be used both to compare the celebration of Christmas in different countries, and also to teach and learn the words to describe the celebration.

In Poland people start preparing for Christmas at the beginning of December. Christmas trees are set in every home and decorated with sparkling tinsel, lights, glass balls. On Christmas Eve when the first star appears in the sky people sit at a table. They do not forget about leaving an empty place for an expected guest. At midnight many people go to church to attend a special mass. 25 December is spent at home. The next day people pay and receive visits. Christmas in Poland is the most familiar, traditional and joyful time. The most popular dishes are: red borsh with pies, carp: fried or in a jelly, pies with mushrooms, herrings, poppy-seed cake. Before the supper members of the family share the holy wafer, after supper they give each other presents which were put under the Christmas tree.

TEACHER PAGE

Link to a page where we can share websites, and recommendations for teachers from other countries to help them to learn about Christmas in our country. 

Shared Websites

We can learn a lot about each other's countries from the internet, but it is so much easier if we help each other.

 In England we give and receive a lot of cards at Christmas.  We cut up these old cards to make new ones to send to our pen friends, but took pictures to make a record of some of the images which characterise Christmas.

Happy Christmas from -JNV Bhiwani

Many carols exist in several languages.  Maybe we could collect and share some?
