Synopsis
This book presents a richly historicized account of the origins and evolution of modern Christmas traditions. The author draws upon a wealth of period documents and first-hand accounts to piece together the story of cherished customs, such as the Christmas tree and the practice of gift-giving, from their ancient origins through to their assimilation into wider Western culture. While the primary focus is on their genesis and transformation over time, the book also explores their social and cultural significance, not only in the context of the Christmas season but as touchstones of cultural memory and identity. By examining these traditions, their evolution, and the ways in which they are woven into the fabric of human relationships, the book offers a deeper understanding and appreciation of the enduring magic of Christmas.
