Christmas
Paperback
(Hodder Wayland Aug. 15, 2002)
Find out why Christians celebrate Christmas on 25th December every year and why people give each other presents, sing carols and decorate their homes and churches. Read about Father Christmas, Baboushka in Russia, and the story of the red poinsettia plant which is told in Mexico.
The book includes the festival's religious origin and history, as well as the different ingredients that make up the celebration today. An illustrated map shows where the festival is celebrated around the world and a calendar of other festivals in the same religion puts the festival into context.
