Beginning with the Yuletide festivals of the ancient world, The
Celebration of Christmas In Europe and America: Yuletide Traditions
From Many Lands shares a history of Christmas across Europe,
exploring the Holiday customs of England, Germany (true source of
the Christmas Tree!), Scandinavia (Lapland, Holland, Denmark),
France, Italy, Russia and Spain. The chapter on Yule in Russia is
especially poignant, as its writing predates the Bolshevik
Revolution, offering a unique glimpse into that country's
pre-Communist Christian roots. The final chapter is a surprising
history of Christmas in Colonial America. First published in 1916,
and reproduced in this quality reprint edition with all of the
charming original illustrations intact, The Celebration of
Christmas In Europe and America: Yuletide Traditions From Many
Lands opens a wondrous window on the magic and beauty of the
Christmas Season as it was understood and observed during the
Victorian era.
