Summary, etc. note:
|
When 10-year-old Maya from California travels with her family to her ancestral home in Sri Lanka to celebrate Christmas, she discovers a world full of vibrant traditions, delicious food, and a profound connection to her roots.
As Maya explores her grandmother's village, she learns about the significance of Christmas in Sri Lankan culture, which blends Buddhist and Christian influences. She witnesses the vibrant "carol service" processions, where villagers sing Christmas carols while carrying colorful lanterns. She also experiences the warmth of "kiri kiri," a traditional Sri Lankan Christmas drink made with coconut milk and spices.
Through her adventures, Maya discovers the true spirit of Christmas—one of love, generosity, and sharing. She learns about the importance of family, community, and the traditions that connect people across generations.
In "Christmas Gift," author Sathya Nirmani Weerasooriya weaves a heartwarming tale that captures the essence of Christmas in Sri Lanka. With vivid descriptions and authentic storytelling, she celebrates the unique cultural traditions and the universal message of love and hope that the holiday brings. |
