Christmas Around the World. Thoughts?

I'm thinking about a Christmas Around the World project for December. Partners or individual projects. Every student/pair gets a country to research. Then we need some sort of final project (God help me). I'm just in the beginning phases of the planning, but I'm thinking it could be cool. It would be neat to do some sort

The book projects are making me crazy, but I'm trying to deal with the chaos. I hate chaos in my room. Chaos = noise. Some days I can't take the noise, some days are ok. However I constantly live in fear that someone is going to walk into my room with a clipboard. I'm figuring they'll wait until the week of Thanksgiving and then they'll be annoyed that we're watching a movie or doing something that they don't think is "educationally relevant."

So, to recap. Thoughts on Christmas Around the World projects?
