Synopsis: 'Tis the Season for Witches, Elves, and a Legion of GhostsNot so very long ago, Yuletide was as much a chilling season of ghosts and witches as it was a festival of goodwill. In The Old Magic of Christmas, you'll rub elbows with veiled spirits, learn the true perils of elves, and discover a bestiary of enchanted creatures. Rife with the more frightful characters from folklore and the season's most petulant ghosts, this book takes you on a spooky sleigh ride from the silvered firs of a winter forest to the mirrored halls of the Snow Queen. Along the way, you'll discover how to bring the festivities into your home with cookie recipes and craft instructions, as well as tips for delving more deeply into your relationship with the unseen.Praise:"Steeped in history and adorned with a bit of enchantment, The Old Magic of Christmas is the perfect book to read by a winter's fire with a mug of mulled cider in hand."—Deborah Blake, author of The Witch's Broom"...[A] fascinating journey into the stories behind the tinsel and bows."—Doreen Shababy, author of The Wild & Weedy Apothecary"...[A]n intriguing little tome that explores the darker side of the Yuletide holiday."—Ellen Dugan, author of The Enchanted Cat
