Christmas in the United States

2:00pm 20.12.2007

On December 20, FLEX alumna Lilit Greyan gave a public lecture at the Gyumri American Corner. The topic was “Christmas in the United States.” First, she discussed the historic roots of Christmas in America. She noted that the holiday is permitted by the U.S. Constitution. Lilit spoke about Christmas carols, Santa Claus, and other Christmas traditions. She said that each state celebrates Christmas in its own way and each state has its own traditions. She also talked about her own Christmas experience in the United States. Lilit said she was amazed by how much money Americans spend on presents. They start buying presents in November and finish on Christmas Eve.

After Lilit’s presentation, the audience had an opportunity to watch a video about the Gyumri American Corner Christmas party. The participants had a lot of fun. Then, American Corner Coordinator, Amalia Stepanyan, offered books to all participants as a Christmas present.
