Candid Christmas
Nov. 1st, 2009 11:49 pmChristmas: A Candid History, by Bruce David Forbes
A charming, crisp, and concise book about the history of Christmas. I've read about a lot of this stuff before but the author still made interesting to rehash those topics (especially since several times he mentioned competing theories I hadn't come across the first time), plus there were some things I'd never heard about before at all (eg the bit about Washington Irving). Right on target.
