CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD

Christmas is one of the biggest celebrations for the people belonging to the Christian faith. But it would be wrong to assume that it is only celebrated among the Christians. With the world becoming a global village, Christmas is now celebrated in many countries around the world. Children of primary 6 decorated the classroom doors with these images related the different ways it´s celebrated in different countries. Great job!
