What kind of tree is decorated at Christmas time in India? And how does a Romanian Christmas carol sound? With the great number of diverse cultures present on campus at Jacobs University it is no wonder that students have different associations with the upcoming holidays. Christmas Traditions vary widely between different cultures, and there are a myriad ways to celebrate.
