This was a book that was really good but could have been even better. It takes the various phenomena of Christmas chapter by chapter and looks at the history and science of each, including candidates for the Christmas Star, the reasons for Santa's longevity and obesity, the anthropology of gift giving and how Rudolph and the other reindeer fly and manage to get every child their present in time for Christmas morning. Very good but quite heavy going.
