[|Holiday Facts and Fun: A Multicultural Christmas] (22:00) The spirit of a favorite holiday's underlying message - love and joy - is enhanced by the unique presentation featuring Northern European, African-American, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian youngsters explaining family and ethnic customs associated with their celebrations. Special foods, songs, stories, games, celebrations, costumes, and other holiday traditions are shown for each group. This presentation is a perfect way to help children understand that ethnic expressions are wonderful ways for individuals and groups to celebrate Christmas and other holidays.
