When I taught elementary, we always had a study unit on Christmas Traditions Around the World. It was fun for the children to hear these different customs and act them out.

Santa was part of the mix as well as mass and the baby Jesus... but as an adult, I am constantly learning and appreciating the history and the folklore that was born from actual events.
