Monika Utnik-Strugala's book, Christmas is Coming, is a fun adventure around the world. Highly informative, this book presents holiday traditions and history from the Americas, Europe, and a little bit of Asia and Australia. Christmas is Coming covers some of the more well known traditions including Christmas trees, the Nutcracker, and Christmas carols. There are also lesser known traditions like how nativity scenes came about and the tradition of hanging a Christmas tree upside down. Does anyone know the purpose of this tradition?
This is such a wonderful, information-packed book. Our plan is to utilize it in our morning basket time during the Advent season. I would recommend reading a section each morning leading up to Christmas and planning some picture books or projects to go along with it. This would be a great study to usher in the holidays. And I can't wait to share I with my kids.
