Ever wondered who were the three kings from the famous Christmas carol or why people kiss under the mistletoe?

This cheerful book full of illustrated informative narrative poems takes the reader through ancient pagan traditions that inspired the celebration as we know it today. From the Roman Saturnalia to Norse Yule, from Persian god Mithras to Jesus Christ, there are fables, symbols and lessons to learn that the book eloquently relays. Christmas tree, christingle, mistletoe, Santa Claus, mince pie, stockings, angels, wreaths, turkey-all come to life in fun trivia stories.

This book is highly original and instantly enlightening-filled with history, facts and insights expressively and neatly composed. It fits neatly in the hand and makes a wonderful pocket size companion and gift to anyone interested in Christmas. The tasteful imagery and rich vocabulary instills a sense of wonder and excitement, and adds a fresh perspective on the Christian holiday.
