Friends, Years ago (prior to year 2000) I posted a list of the languages (Christmas Greetings) in Jan Brett's version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas." I have looked through the LM_NET Archives to no avail - I cannot find the post. If any of you have the original post or a similar list, please send to me. Thank you! I am reading (and singing!) the story to my 2nd graders this week and would love to share all the countries of origin along with the greetings. Some of the countries (France, Spain, Scotland) are easy to determine, but the Russian/Slavic/? ones are a bit trickier. For those of you unfamiliar with this book, it is classic Jan Brett - gorgeous detailed illustrations with a side-panel story depicting a Victorian era family as they celebrate Christmas. Each of the 12 gifts also has a greeting in the appropriate language to the ethnic bent of the illustration (e.g. - the three French hens have a French Christmas greeting).
