Reseña del libro "CHRISTMAS BEYOND BORDERS (en Inglés)"
Christmas may be celebrated around the world, but it certainly does not look, sound, or taste the same everywhere.In some countries, families gather around snowy town squares with mugs of warm spiced drinks. In others, they celebrate beside the sea with seafood, sunshine, and a barbecue. Some children wait for Santa Claus, while others welcome Saint Nicholas, the Three Kings, La Befana, or another beloved gift-bringer. There are lanterns, boat parades, midnight services, street processions, enormous feasts, lively music, and traditions so surprising you may wonder how you never heard about them before.Christmas Beyond Borders is your joyful journey through the traditions, foods, festivals, and holiday magic that bring the world together.This is not a heavy history lesson or a dull collection of facts.
