Merry Christmas! From: Laconia, New Hampshire, USA

About us: We are a 1st grade class from Laconia, New Hampshire, in the United States of America. Some of us are 6 and some of us are 7. In our class we have 16 kids. In our school we have about 400 kids. We all speak English and we think it would be so fun to learn another language! Winter in Laconia is cold and snowy. Sometimes we even get the day off from school because of the bad weather.

Ways we greet each other around the holidays: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays, and to our Jewish friends we say Happy Hanukkah!

Ways We Celebrate Christmas: We write letters to Santa Claus. We also leave out a plate of cookies and a glass of milk for him to eat when he visits our house. Sometimes we leave carrots for the reindeer. Sometimes we have visions of gumdrops dancing in our heads. We sing special Christmas songs. When we wake up on Christmas morning we rush downstairs to open presents. We decorate Christmas trees and we hang stockings.
