is a story —usually, a forgotten one. Each year, as we decorate a tree, build a gingerbread
house, and get ready for a visit from St. Nicholas, we’recontinuing generations-old
narratives, while being largely unaware of their starting chapters. But knowing how these traditions
began adds a new level of depth to our Christmas spirit, as well as an arsenal of anecdotes to
share at Christmas parties. Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite
Holiday’sTraditions reveals the surprising, quirky, mysterious, and sometimes horrifying
stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. With 26 short chapters, it’sa festive,
digestible Advent calendar of a book. Covering traditions ancient and modern, Christmas Past is
filled with stories of happy accidents, cultural histories, criminal capers (including tomb raiders and

technological influences. How did the invention of plate glass forever change the Christmas
season? What common Christmas item helped introduce fine art to the masses? Why do
