“We loved Christmas Comes to America. The girls’ favorite part was the hands-on activities. We did that every Tuesday with two other families and had a blast! I would love to get some of your other unit studies soon.
Thank you for a great study through Christmas. We will do it all over again next year.”
The Bayne family

Our family loved this unit study. It added so much to our Christmas season. It was so great learning about many of the origins of our Christmas traditions. The activities were so fun. It made our whole holiday season so much more family oriented and enjoyable as we all learned together.
