5.0 out of 5 stars HOLIDAYS FOR THE SUPERSTITIOUS AT HEART, April 26, 2001
This book blends holidays with FEELINGS. For some, it's not just loneliness they battle during the holidays, but actual dread.

We all fear something. But we all don't know what it's called. Well, this book not only informs you of how some of the origins start regarding some holidays, but also some of the legends and fears that go along with some of the traditions. I didn't agree with most of them, but I sure found them fun and interesting. It also explains why some of our ancestors were a bit well...odd? :) Holidays can be stressful for all of us. For those who have any kind of sensitivity, some holidays are just miserable.

I recommend this book for those who want more further depth into any holiday presentation they may be doing, or to help gain wisdom in dealing someone.

3.0 out of 5 stars weird new age stuff, July 8, 2003
By A Customer
Dossey's Holiday Folklore is interesting, then he digresses into weird New Age "think it and you can make it happen" stuff related to his experiences with people with phobias. If you skim those sections of the book, its ok, but I found it distracting.
