curling out of village chimneys, New England was practically
invented for the Christmas postcard. It's got your Christmas goose
and the maple syrup with which to glaze it. It's most of the reason

Christmas is the favourite time of the year for many of us, with
present exchanges, food & drink and socialising with friends
& family at the top of the agenda. But what are the true
origins and meaning of this seemingly inexhaustible celebration?
Although most of our current customs only go back a few hundred
years - Father Christmas as we know him dressed in red and white
much less - there has been a festival at this time in the year for
thousands of years. Although these days it is taken to mean the
commemoration of the birth of Jesus, the date of December 25 was
that of the winter solstice in Roman times, and other cultures have
celebrated the darkest winter night for millennia. This book looks
at all aspects of what the festive period means for people all over
the world, beginning with a history of Christmas that looks at
Yule, Nativity and Christmas as well as pagan celebrations. The
embodiment of Christmas, Father Christmas, has a whole chapter, and
this jolly character we know and love has a long history, not to
mention a big bag of presents! But wait - there's myrrh(!): quotes,
jokes, sayings and words of wisdom and fun from around the world,
as well as fun facts about how, where, when and why we celebrate -
and we look at curious customs from around the world. SAMPLE FACT:
The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, has been
tracking Santa's journey around the world since 1958.

Copied out by hand as a young man aspiring to the status of
Gentleman, George Washington's 110 rules were based on a set of
rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595. The first English edition
of these rules was available in Francis Hawkins' Youths Behavior,
or Decency in Conversation Amongst Men, which appeared in 1640, and
it is from work that Washington seems to have copied. The rules as
Washington wrote them out are a simplified version of this text.
However much he may have simplified them, these precepts had a
strong influence on Washington, who aimed to always live by them.
The rules focus on self-respect and respect for others through
details of etiquette. The rules offer pointers on such issues as
how to dress, walk, eat in public, and address one's superiors.
