Introduction

During the long, cold December weeks leading up to Christmas, as we spend our time frantically panicking about the financial side of the festive season, it''s all too easy to forget the traditional nativity story. The real meaning of Christmas and the traditions that have existed for generations are shunted aside as we worry about how many shopping days we have left and how we''re going to fit that monster turkey into the oven.

The Christmas Book

In this charming book, Patrick Harding breathes new life into the traditions of Christmas, unravelling myths and mysteries surrounding our favourite time of year. The Christmas Book is a treasure chest of fascinating facts and tasty morsels, all in one delightful and handy volume. From setting the record straight about Jesus'' birth, to explaining what a genuine Yule log is, to tracking the evolution of the Christmas card, there''s something in here to entertain everyone, young and old alike.

Conclusion

The fascinating read is guaranteed to add some much-needed spice to the festive season and will shake the Scrooge out of even the most cynical reader...
