1222<p style='padding-bottom:.75em;'><i>Mama Lisa&rsquo;s Christmas Around The World</i> is a celebration of the diversity and love with which many different cultures mark this joyful time of year.&nbsp;</p>
1223<p style='padding-bottom:.75em;'>You&rsquo;ll read about:&nbsp;</p>
1224<ul>
1225  <li>How in Italy it&rsquo;s not Santa Claus who gives gifts to all the children. It&rsquo;s La Befana, a friendly witch!&nbsp;</li>
1226  <li>How Scandinavians mark the end of the season by &ldquo;plundering&rdquo; the Christmas Tree on St. Knut&rsquo;s Day. That&rsquo;s a fun way to get children to help with the post-holiday clean-up!&nbsp;</li>
1227  <li>How in Colombia, in the Southern Hemisphere, it&rsquo;s usually warm in December. So Christmas is celebrated like a giant outdoor block party!&nbsp;</li>
1228</ul>
1229<p style='padding-bottom:.75em;'>The first part of the book covers some of the traditions that take place on days other than Christmas itself, like St. Nick&rsquo;s Day and Epiphany. The history and meaning of these holidays is discussed, often with examples of traditional songs.&nbsp;</p>
1230<p style='padding-bottom:.75em;'>The second part presents beloved traditions and songs from many different nations. The songs are given in the original languages and with English translations.&nbsp;</p>
1231<p style='padding-bottom:.75em;'>What makes the book really special is the many comments from Mama Lisa&rsquo;s correspondents who have shared stories and memories from their own lives. The memories of childhood touch us forever!&nbsp;</p>
1232<p style='padding-bottom:.75em;'>Many of the songs featured also include links to the Mama Lisa website, where you can find recordings, videos and sheet music.&nbsp;</p>
1233<p style='padding-bottom:.75em;'>Merry Christmas!</p>
