In December of 2001, post 9/11, I created a display at the high school where I teach (I had a student teacher that semester) to foster understanding of other cultures. A book titled Holidays Around the World from the children’s section of our public library was the perfect resource.

Each scene in the display case depicted a celebration of a Winter holiday underneath a sign indicating the holiday name, a country in which it was celebrated, any associated religion and the date for Winter 2001. The brickshelf folder is here:

By way of further explanation, the US holiday depicted a Walmart with the religion listed as “consumerism” and the date “all year.”

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
