Christmas: A Biography by Judith FlandersMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is exactly what it says it is, a biography of Christmas and all things related. The history begins from the time of Christ, analyzing the "reason for the season" and from there, progresses through time on how the holiday has progressed. It follows the religious and political aspects, as well as traditions, food, drinks, celebrations, songs, entertainment from around the world. Flanders even covers the scary side of evil elves and characters such as Krampus.
This is truly the go-to book about the holiday season and is thorough yet entertaining.
