Christmas around the World

My Elf is really busy this year, he has hardly had time to sit down. I can't believe I am knocking things off my list left and right! You can see a list of my activities here, here, and here.

Saturday's adventure was to the Museum of Science and Industry. It's a great museum filled with trains, planes, simulated tornados and lightning, an old Chicago street, a drop in a coal miners elevator, the Dr Suess exhibit (Suess which is actually pronounce by rhyming it with voice) and still more! I highly recommend it!

I went to see Christmas Around the World. The exhibit rings in the holiday with more that 60 decorated trees, each adorned according to holiday customs from around the world. Take a peek...

This massive Christmas tree stands 45ft tall in the rotunda. It is a sight!

This is an ornament from the Philippines.

When I was a kid and visited the museum I picked out an ornament like this from Lithuania. It hangs every year on my mom's Christmas tree. Some ornaments from different countries are for sale in the gift shop. Unfortunately, for me, not a Lithuanian one.

Norwegian ornament

Belize's ornament

Swedish ornament

Latvia's ornament

Poland's ornament

and Bulgaria

I think I need to look into creating my own Lithuanian ornament. It looks like it would be fun to make!
