The dates for the 2008 program will be December 20, 2008 - January 2, 2009.

Christmas International House (CIH) is a nationwide program that gives you an opportunity to visit other cities around the United States and be the guests of the American community for the two-week Christmas Holiday. You will pay a small application fee and provide your own, round-trip transportation to the CIH program you chose and the program will host you in homes or dormitories at no cost for two weeks. Depending on the program you chose, there may be some costs that you pay to participate in some of the activities. This is an excellent way for you to get to know an American family, to see the USA, learn about our culture and share your culture with us.

Please visit the Christmas International House web site to learn more about this opportunity, to find out what cities offer the programs, and to download the application   form to register. You must have the application signed by your   International Advisor.
