That special time of year is approaching…the time when many of us would wake up early to see what a holiday gift-giver with a hearty beard brought. You might have called him Santa Claus, Father Christmas, or perhaps even Saint Nick. If not, maybe your Decembers were spent avoiding the disapproval of 13 Yule Lads? (Shoes filled with rotting potatoes sounds so much worse than a lump of coal in a stocking, though not quite as terrifying as being carted off by Krampus!)
These are just a few of a very wide range of enduring traditions of Christmas and other midwinter holidays. Whether your interest is cartoon television specials, Victorian literature, an Epiphany, mistletoe, holly, carols, or jolly elves with hearty beards, McFarland has a book for you.
