The BEA Advanced and Intermediate students had two Christmas lessons this week. It gave them a break from our regular curriculum, and it gave me a chance to be in the class with the kids and share part of my culture with them. For our second Christmas culture lesson, we learnt about gift-giving and the Christmas shopping season. The students were indeed surprised to find out that there is an entire "season" devoted to shopping in the U.S. and Canada! At the same time, the kids could see that gift-giving is also part of Cambodian culture for special times of the year, as it is in many other cultures.
