Project+Instructions

=Each year in December, people all over the world celebrate Christmas. But this is not the only holiday observed at this time. All over the world other holidays, such as Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, St. Nick’s Day and the Chinese New Year are observed and celebrated.= = = =While some holidays stem from religious origins, others are observed through government declaration as a national holiday. Whatever the reason, people celebrate these holidays in many different ways.=

Your job is to visit various websites to find out as much as you can about these other winter holidays. You will choose the holiday you find most interesting and complete a data sheet on it. You will then use the information you gathered to create a power point to present your findings to the class. Be sure to include either a craft project or recipe associated with the holiday and print the directions for making it.
