Christmas on Pitcarin Island

Pitcarin Christmas
Figure 1.-- On Pitcairn Island Christmas is not celebrated religiously because everybody belongs to the Seventh Day Adventist Church, a rare Chrustian denomination which doesn't celebrate the holiday. The children are not fully aware of what they are missing out on, although with the advent of saltellite TV, some must be learning about it.
