"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hopes, and a world of fears. There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware. It's a small world after all." - written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman & made famous by Walt Disney

History of the Holidays Resources

Teachers if you did not know the History Channel has a great series on the history of the holidays.  They are wonderful especially if you are teaching Ancient and Medieval World History.  Each clip gives the origin of traditions but then connects it to modern day activities.  There are even readings that students can do to better understand what they see around them and participate in during various holidays.

Here is the link to the Christmas page:
