Books with title All About Christmas

Even before Christmas celebrations began, evergreen trees were used as part of winter festivals and celebrations. Today, many people still bring a real fir tree into their home at Christmastime, or an artificial tree that may come in any color including green, silver, or pink. Written with age-appropriate language and content, this book explains the symbolism behind our use of Christmas trees today and the many famous trees readers may know, including the huge tree at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

From those at the Rockefeller Center to ones that might perch at the top of a home Christmas tree, angels are a common symbol of the Christmas season. This symbol's link to the holiday likely began with the Bible story of the Nativity, but today, angel figures' beauty and elegance make them a lovely addition to many households' Christmas decorations. Readers will learn why and how angels became part of the Christmas season. Written especially for beginning readers, it includes full-color photographs and historical images of angel decorations used throughout Christmas history.†
