Merry Christmas In Many Languages

Join with your brothers and sisters across the world.  Add some fun to your Christmas, sharing this event with your children. Print out this page, and cut each line into strips. Fold each one up, and put them in a basket to be passed around your Waves Of Praise gathering. Ask people to try to speak “Merry Christmas” in the language on their strip, and the others should try to guess what country it comes from.  If you see an error, or have another language you want included, please let us know at:  contact@wavesofpraise.org.  Have fun with this!
