Christmas
Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ the son of God who was born in a stable because there was no room in the inn. From his teachings of peace and good will to all, we learned more about his father in heaven.

To celebrate Christ's birth a bishop in Holland would leave trinkets in the shoes of the Dutch children. From this came the present day Santa Claus who brings presents to good little boys and girls.

There are many traditions though out the world as children celebrate Christmas. The links below will give you ideas for decorations, traditions songs and stories of Christmas.
