The 21st of December marks the beginning of the winter season.
It is also the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. That means we have the least amount of daylight today.
What will the weather be like this season?
Will it be snowy? Rainy or sunny? Warm or cold?
What will you celebrate this holiday season?
In the USA, not everyone celebrates Christmas.
Some people celebrate Hannukah. Hanukkah is the Jewish eight-day “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting.
Some people celebrate Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday that celebrates African heritage and identity.
For people who do celebrate Christmas, children get to open presents on the 25th of December. These are delivered by Santa Claus, or St. Nick. Here´s a Christmas carol that sings about how Santa Claus goes down the chimney to deliver toys on Christmas Eve.
