1. The two biggest holidays at this time of year in the U.S. are Christmas and Hanukkah, i.e. the “Festival of Lights.” Do you celebrate either or both of these holidays? They are both full of symbolism. What symbols from either holiday can you name? Colors? Foods? Decorations?
2. What is your favorite Christmas tradition? How do you usually spend Christmas? What are you favorite activities or pastimes on or around this holiday? Based on what you know, how do you think Christmas in Ukraine differs from the U.S.? Are there alternate traditions, activities or meals?
3. What is your favorite New Year’s tradition? How do you usually celebrate the New Year in Ukraine? Do you have a favorite activity, such as decorating, gift giving, or cooking? How do you think New Year celebrations differ between Ukraine and the U.S.? Do you know any traditions that are popular in the U.S. On New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day that you find interesting?
4. If you could spend Christmas or New Year’s in any other country around the world, where would you go and why? What traditions would you bring with you to this celebration and what would you hope to learn?
5. What are New Year’s Resolutions? Do you make them? If so, what will be your Resolution for 2012? Do you think that Resolutions are important? Why or why not?
