[LM_NET] HIT: Early ELEM sites on holiday customs

[Anne-Marie Gordon <media.teatime@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi, folks.  Thanks for all the help on this one!  The page I made for the
class is here: http://squareone.pbwiki.com/Holidays

My original request:  Hi, folks.  I have a teacher who is looking for
child-friendly websites on these topics:  St. Nicholas / Sinterklaas; St.
Lucia Day; Las Posadas; La Befana in Italy.

Replies:

This one has a nice interface with flags of the nations:
