A Treasure

This is a treasure trove of information about Christmas as it has been traditionally celebrated in many countries, with special emphasis on some of the holiday's pagan roots. The writing is clear and succinct, and the enthusiasm and interest of the author are contagious. The vibrant color illustrations are a perfect complement to the text. The illustrators have taken great care to research their subjects and it is delightful to gaze at the pictures and marvel at what each detail tells you. It is the type of book you want to go back to year after year to refresh your recollection of the history of the Christmas season, and you will want to pass this on to your loved ones.
