Christmas around the world

by Mary D. Lankford

From Ethiopian fringed umbrellas and star-shaped Filipino parol lanterns to candlelit Swedish St. Lucia crowns, *Christmas Around the World* brings together Christmas traditions from twelve different lands, like decorations on a splendid tree. Includes a section on craft ideas, a pronunciation guide, Christmas sayings, and two pages of Fact and Fiction. "A visually attractive and thoughtful presentation for those seasonal school assignments," praised *School Library Journal*.
