This is a unique treasury of amusing and poignant anecdotes, heart-warming stories, ancient customs, forgotten traditions, historical insights, practical tips, bizarre practices, recipes, quotations and a scattering of jaw-dropping statistics. And while it shuns cloying sentimentality, it is never cynical or contemptuous - The Curious World of Christmas wears its paper hat with pride.
Chapters include:
Pagan roots of Christmas; Christmas with our ancestors; Christmas around the world; the origins of Santa Claus; Christmas at war; Christmas presents: shopping and DIY; at work on Xmas day; reunions and tantrums; volcanoes, earthquakes and train crashes; Xmas traditions; Xmas weather and Food and Drink - all with a liberal sprinkling of great quotations, and some statistics for good measure.
Love it or curse it, celebrate or shun it, Christmas has been with us for two millennia - and it is getting bigger and weirder by the year.
The Curious World of Christmas is a treasury of amusing, intelligent and poignant anecdotes, heart-warming stories, ancient customs, forgotten traditions, great writing, historical insights, practical tips, bizarre practices, recipes, quotations and a smattering of jaw-dropping facts. Drawing on over two thousand years of writing and experiences, it covers every extraordinary aspect of the largest religious festival on the planet.
Humorous, joyful, enlightening and mildly irreverent, The Curious World of Christmas shuns sentimentality but is never cynical or contemptuous. This book wears its paper hat with pride.
