Encyclopedia of Christmas
Christmas is a holiday with rich traditions and a long history, yet there is no single source in which to look up facts about the many facets of this holiday. The Encyclopedia of Christmas provides teachers, students, parents, and librarians will a convenient source of information on virtually every aspect of Christmas.
The Encyclopedia of Christmas contains nearly 200 entries on all facets of Christmas, including its history, myths, legends, customs, religious observances, symbols, and related days and celebrations. Entries range in length from about 100-200 words to longer essays of 2,000 words and more. Each entry includes a list of books for further reading, and many entries list web sites that contain information on the topic. Throughout the book, numerous cross references guide the user to the appropriate entry.
