Hello everybody!!! I need your help. I work in a English institution. At the end of the year we hace our end of year party that is a �Culture Fair � where each class represents a country that the kids have been working on it by looking up for information about the country each class is given. So this year we �re thinking about having the �Culture Fair � with the topic �Holidays around the World �. So, we �re making a list of countries that have special celebrations. These are some the the countries we have thought about ...can you suggest another countries? Thanks a lot in advance!!!! :) Sweden/Norway - St Lucia �s Day Kenya/Uganda - Kwanzaa Iran/Afghanistan - Yalda (longest night of the year) Israel - Hanukkah China - Chinese New Year Britain - Christmas "season" (decorations, carols, etc) Russia (possibility) - banned Christmas under USSR for 70 years (kind of dark though!) Germany - Christmas tree USA - Santa Claus Greece - St Basil �s Day (Jan 1) |

CROATIA St. Nicholas �s day ( December 6th ) Children put their boots on the windowsill in the evening of December 5th, and in the morning they find presents ( usually chocolate, sweets, smaller toys... )from St. Nick if they were nice, but if they were naughty a � � Krampus � � ( looks like a devil and has chains ) leaves a golden or a silver painted twig ( from a tree ) in their boots. |

I �d suggest "June Fest" in Brazil, because, in my opinion, it �s truly Brazilian, more than Carnival, and it �s kind of unknown. It �s certainly even more celebrated by everyone all over the country, than Carnival. You can google for "Festa Junina" and I �m pretty sure you will be able to understand the explanation given, even in Portuguese, once we �re sort of neighbors. :D In case you need help, just contact me. |

Here in Russia we celebrate "Knowledge Day" on the first of September when kids go to school. It �s a really big event for those who have schoolchildren in their families, and an unforgettable one for parents of 7-year-olds, who go to school for the first time. |
