Many of the Christmas seasonal customs and associated objects relate back, not just to Christianity, but to a very pagan past. Constance King traces the popular modern celebration of Christmas and describes how it evolved. This is the first book to concentrate on the history of all the material objects associated with Christmas, from early church figures and paintings to the mass-produced tree decorations and images of Santa Claus.
