Slide 2 - Christmas Around The World
Slide 3 - Brazil Merry Christmas Feliz Natal

Slide 5 - China Christmas Shang Dan Jiang
Slide 6 - China How do Christians in China decorate their houses for Christmas? They use bright coloured paper lanterns to decorate for Christmas. They put candles inside and the light shines brightly through the coloured paper.
Slide 7 - Christmas Day is not a public holiday in China like it is in England. People go to work and children go to school. This is because China is mainly a Buddhist country. Their biggest celebration is Chinese New Year which usually falls sometime in January or February. China Chinese children hang up stockings in the hope that Sheng Dan Lao Ren will visit them and fill them with presents. Who do you think Sheng Dan Lao Ren is?

Once they have finished their sermon they are given a gift by the parish priest which is usually a statue of the baby Jesus lying in a manger.

Slide 27 - St. Nicholas was born during the 3rd century, about 700 years ago. His parents were very wealthy and he was raised to be Christian.

He dedicated his whole life to serving God and became known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need and for his love for children. St. Nicholas St. Nicholas’ Day is celebrated in many countries around the world on 6th December every year.
