Description & Specifications

Where do Christmas traditions really come from and why do we do them? Christmas: A Very Peculiar History takes a witty, sideways look at the season's myths, mysteries and merriment, uncovering the stories behind everything from midwinter rituals and the Twelve Days of Christmas to decorations, gift-giving and the meaning of Boxing Day.

Blending lively storytelling with quirky snippets and seasonal sidebars, readers will discover how pagan evergreens became Christmas decorations, why 'Xmas' isn't a modern invention, and how different countries celebrate the darkest days of the year. With festive features throughout, from a simple Yule Log-style recipe and a glossary for curious minds, it's the perfect dip-in companion for anyone who likes their Christmas with a twist.
