Mark Stibbe writes: 'This book has been written for anyone who wants to either recapture or capture for the first time the wonder of what this season celebrates.' 'I'd like to propose that this book is a thesaurus, a treasure chest, of twenty years of lovingly accumulated wit and wonder to do with the Christmas story. Someone has said, 'to perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year'. Maybe with the help of this book something of the real meaning of Christmas will shine through.'

The Revd Dr Mark Stibbe leads the Father's House Trust, based in Watford. He has written many books, including the acclaimed A Box of Delights (Monarch) and is a popular speaker both in the UK and throughout the rest of Europe.
If you want to know about Christmas, this is the book to get. It is a hodge-podge of cartoons and illustrations, anecdotes both humorous and poignant, quotes, information bites, stories, legends, Scripture and Carol lyrics and so much more. Santa myths and other Christmas legends from both American and Britain are included in this collection that files right down the alphabet in an easy to assimilate format. For all that, the true meaning of Christmas is highlighted over and over. (Carolyn R. Scheidies Author's Choice Reviews 2007-05-03)
