Brief Summary:
Wanna know where many of the traditions of Christmas originated? Looking for a way to make the holiday less "commercial?" This book is filled with history, folklore, recipes, activities, decorating ideas and songs, includes 500 richly colored illustrations, and offers suggestions for combining new and old traditions into a more personal celebration. And since most Christmas traditions are not actually Christian in nature, followers of Christianity may appreciate some historical perspective on how it all got mixed together, while non-Christians may discover new ways of injecting spirit into the season.
