On January 15, 2014 we Skyped with our friends in Spain to discuss our different ways of celebrating the holidays during December. We noticed differences and similarities in the way we all celebrate the holidays. We learned about their tradition of Three Kings Day which is celebrated on January 6 instead of Christmas which is celebrated in the United States on December 25. We also learned that on New Year's Eve they have a twelve grape tradition in which they eat a grape every hour until midnight. We have a student in our group that celebrates Three King's Day and we learned that some of our children have participated in the twelve grape tradition during Spanish class! We look forward to our next Skype with our friends in February.
