Description
This book in Slovak explores Christmas and New Year customs and traditions. It asks why Christmas is celebrated in December, why Christmas markets are held, whether all children receive gifts on the same day, why trees are decorated, who invented the first glass baubles and why nativity scenes are made. It also discusses Christmas plants, the Star of Bethlehem, Ebenezer Scrooge and the Nutcracker, and includes texts of well-known Slovak Christmas carols and a chapter on the Jewish festival of Chanukah. Readers learn about major Christmas films and music hits, unusual torchlit processions, New Year concerts and, finally, the Chinese New Year. The book is intended for readers aged 7 and over and was translated from the Polish original by Ladislav Holiš.
