December 25th is a day of peace and festivity, the culmination of a season of worldwide goodwill. Carol singers give voice to the joyful spirit, trees are decorated, and gifts exchanged between families and friends. A name-check of the gift-bearers awaited by children reflects the global nature of the celebration: Pere Noel in France, Santa Claus in America, La Befana in Italy, and the Three Kings of Hispanic cultures. With first-person narrative, informative back matter, and evocative photography, "Celebrate Christmas" is a rich historical and cultural resource for children.Heiligman, Deborah is the author of 'Celebrate Christmas With Carols, Presents, and Peace', published 2007 under ISBN 9781426301230 and ISBN 1426301235.
