Christmas: A Very Peculiar History
Author Fiona Macdonald
Taking an unbiased view of the myth and mystery surrounding the origins of the yuletide season, Christmas: A Very Peculiar History introduces mind-bending facts about the holiday season and shatters the myths surrounding some of Christmas' most treasured and well-known facets: Why is Santa's outfit red and white? Where do we get Christmas trees from? What's the snow in a snowglobe made of? What's Boxing Day all about?

So leave the mince pies on the mantlepiece if you've been good and block up your chimneys if you've been bad, because Christmas: A Very Peculiar History is here!
