Before the holidays—whether it is Thanksgiving, Chanukah,
Christmas, or Kwanzaa—pick up some books about the upcoming event. Read about
the holiday with your preschooler. The experience will add to the excitement and anticipation for the celebration. Plus your child will learn to appreciate the meaning of special days and maybe even understand the reasons behind the holiday. Reading about how different families celebrate holidays also gives you a chance to compare your family traditions with those of others. It can also be fun to learn about totally different holidays—ones you don’t observe. Find out about holidays that are celebrated around the world and open your child’s eyes to other cultures and traditions. Many libraries and bookstores have special
displays as the holidays draw closer so it is easy to find books to enjoy.
