Portland, Or., Southern Id. and Mn. The Christmas season is upon us. The malls are decorated. Music fills the air.
Families are busy with shopping and little children are eagerly waiting to see Santa.
The Christmas story is told over and over. It is my hope that each host family and student will truly enjoy this time together sharing your cultural differences. Families, you will have the opportunity to involve your student in your family traditions and students you can teach your family how you celebrate in your countries. There is so much we can learn from each other at Christmas with the importance of the day around the world. For those of you where this is the more significant of the two holidays, you can share how you celebrate this day with your family.
