Taking an unbiased view of the myth and mystery surrounding the origins of the yuletide season, Christmas: A Very Peculiar History introduces mindbending 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? Christmas: A Very Peculiar History takes a sideways look at bizarre yuletide customs and stories from around the world, such as Santa`s evil sidekick, the terrifying Krampus, and the Scandinavian celebration of Saint Lucy. 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! Издательство: "Salariya" (2010)
