Winter Celebrations!!



Christmas is coming in our class we have been talking about the Winter season and what Christmas is all about.

It is a celebration that Canadians and Christians celebrate.

Advent (Begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas)
- means "arrival," and it is the name Christians give to the four weeks leading up to Christmas. In homes and churches, people set out special candle holders or Advent wreathes. One candle is lit each Sunday.



But also in the winter month we have other celebrations.
Such as:
  • Hannukah that just passed
  • St. Lucia Day (December 13)

  • Mexican Posadas (December 16- 24)

  • The Winter Solstice (December 21)

  • Christmas Eve (December 24)

  • Christmas Day (December 25)

  • Kwanza (December 26)

  • New Year's Eve (December 31)
