Abstract:
Containing 247 entries on Christmas traditions spanning centuries and continents, this encyclopedia looks at folk customs and beliefs, foods and beverages, artistic and popular works, and related celebrations from antiquity to the present. While entries lean heavily toward customs of medieval and Renaissance Europe, there are many entries on the Christmas season in other parts of the world. This second edition contains 60 new entries.
