As we pause this Holiday Season and enjoy family and friends, it is also a great opportunity to share and learn something about how others, different from us, celebrate during this time of the year. Explore the meaning of those celebrations, enjoy the decorations and ornaments, sample some foods.
What a great time to enjoy and enrich our experience in better understanding each other.
