On Stage Again My beautiful sister-in-law in Swedish bunad and my brother in his dashing Norwegian sweater giving away the raffle prizes |
My sister-in-law plays as the children "dance" around the Christmas tree singing carols |
Lovely Lucia girls make a dramatic entrance with their candles |
The Lucia Girls and Star Boys sing Swedish Carols |
After the program, a feeding frenzy! |
Teaching your own cultural heritage to your children helps them to have a sense of belonging and helps them to know something of their ancestors, if only in a small way.
Americans have a diverse heritage. We come from so many countries all over the world, but we embrace a culture of freedom and representative government.
As we enjoy this wonderful Christmas season, it's fun to see all the traditions that combine from divergent cultures, to make this such a wonderful country.
What traditions do you enjoy from your cultural heritage?
