Fun and frustration; peace and panic; excitement and exhaustion; feasting and fattening; spending and spending and spending. But then Christmas arrives. The panic is over. We are left with wonder and joy. Children's faces light up, excitement is in the air. Yet because of the rush we find it hard just to stop and think. After all, why do we follow these customs? Where did they all come from? Isn't it strange that, just because we are born into a world of customs, we grow up accepting them? What's it all about?

J. John provides an accessible and thought-provoking exploration of the true meaning of Christmas, explaining the background of popular Christmas traditions such as Santa Claus, Carols, and Christmas Trees. Also, he tells the story of the First Christmas, explains the person of Jesus, and gives an opportunity at the end for those who want to receive Jesus into their hearts to pray a prayer of acceptance.

A book that draws the contemporary closer to historical, J John's innovative style provides interesting insights into a Christmas that is in danger of losing its true value.
