Why is Christmas celebrated on January 7th? Where did carols and the nativity scene come from? How has the holiday changed over the centuries, and why is the Orthodox tradition linked to the Julian calendar? This book helps answer these and many other questions and see Christmas not only as a beautiful winter tradition but also as one of the most important holidays in the Christian world.

From early Christianity to the present day, this is a fascinating journey through the history of Christmas, its symbols, customs, and meanings. It's also a thoughtful guide for parents who want to tell their children about the holiday clearly and lovingly, answer their questions, and create a truly Christmas atmosphere together.

This book will help imbue family celebrations with special meaning—quiet joy, warmth, gratitude, and a sense of unity. It's a book you'll want to read together, discuss with your children, and return to every winter.
