I work in a Family Hub and we struggle with how much of Christmas do we share with the children and families when we have different cultures who visit. You are right ....we haven't had any parent complain b/c we sang jingle bells or made Christmas decorations. Canada is a melting pot and it makes us richer for it. My daughter has a friend who is an International student who is looking forward to participating in a Canadian tradition. We should be able to celebrate and share our traditions with each other. Merry Christmas.

I personally want to learn about some of these other traditions. I just hesitate to ask more when I see someone I'm curious about.Dawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316087318679995050noreply@blogger.com
