A FUN AND FASCINATING FUND OF INFORMATION ABOUT CHRISTMAS,
By
This review is from: Just say Noel: A History of Christmas from the Nativity to the Nineties (Paperback)
In the Foreword to this 1995 book, David Comfort writes that the book "is dedicated to brightening spirits ... How does it propose to do this? By reporting all the joyful and triumphant tales of Christmases past to presents---from the Nativity to the nineties. By mining all its myrrh, frankincense, and gold from the beginning and showcasing it in one modest treasury. Above all, this text is dedicated to giving the season a much-needed update. A spruce-up, a shine, a makeover. The legends of Christmases past, though near and dear to us, have become a bit dated. What about Christmases present? Many heartening but unheralded events have occurred in recent seasons, providing the stuff for a new generation of Yuletide tales and torchbearers."
There are a variety of chapters, such as on "Christmas Song," "Holiday Decoration," "Shopping & Gift-Giving," "Holiday Food and Drink," "St. Nick: Yesterday and Today," and more. |
