Synopsis
[from the back cover] "STUDY, DEVOTION, AND INSPIRATION Sure to fascinate everyone who celebrates Christmas and to give extra pleasure to readers with special interest in folkways." The author has gathered meticulously from many sources, including records of missionaries, a remarkable variety of Christmas miscellanea intended to 'supplement rather than duplicate' other books on Christmas customs. Divided geographically by continent and by country, this book discusses the Christmas celebration, with special emphasis on geographical and cultural influences. Vernacular terminology with English equivalents adds reality and interest. A selection of Christmas recipes and suggestions for a Christmas program based on world-wide customs complement the text which describes both secular and religious Christmas observances. Recipes, a bibliography and indices are included.
