Today we learned how to say "Merry Christmas" in 12 different languages! Then we watched the classic, all-time favorite, one of a kind, amazing Christmas movie -- Yule Be Wiggling, (LOL!) and learned one more - Irish.
We, of course, had to sing "Feliz Navidad" and "The First Noel." Loved it.
We didn't have German on our list, though. I need some help, N - 'cause you know T will butcher it if I ask him! :) I think he just likes German because he gets to make snot noises! LOL!
Oh, I'm goofy tonight. What do you expect after watching (and dancing to) a Wiggles movie?
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Oh - and I forgot the best part! We also lit the first purple candle - HOPE - on our Advent Wreath. A very special day indeed.
Editing to add the greetings:
Italian - Buon Natale
Maltese - Il-Milied It-Tajjeb
Afrikaans - Geseende Kersfees
Polynesian - Ia Orana no te Noere
Hungarian - Boldog Kara-csonyt
Hawaiian - Mele Kalikimaka (Princess M's new personal favorite, thank you Bing Crosby)
Thai - Suk San Wan Christmas
French - Joyeux Noel
Chinese - Sheng Tan Kuai Lob
Spanish - Feliz Navidad (now that can be in your head instead of Mele Kalikimaka!)
Tagalog - Maligayang Pasko
Swiss - Schone Weinachten (very similiar to the German, huh, N?)
I won't try to add the pronunciations because of my inability to mark the vowels. But I'll add a plug for My Father's World First Grade phonics. M did an amazing job of reading the greetings because she knew what the marks on the vowels meant! I was so impressed. Thank you, MFW!
