And look at those endpapers!

The children learn about the lore and traditions of Christmas, from the pre-Christian era (top left) to the “modern day” (lower right). Well, sort of modern day … the book was published in 1944. Look at the plane overhead. 😬

This is such a sweet book!

Two children return from boarding school and excitedly join their family in celebrating a traditional Christmas. In the process (and after all their questioning) they learn the history of how this season came to be celebrated.

My sister @sebrittainclark and I have taken up the tradition of gifting books on Christmas Eve for Jolabokaflod and I also almost always give out at least a few books as Christmas gifts
