There is no shortage of books out there that explore symbols and traditions of Christmas. I don't know that I've ever seen one aimed at children that explores the topic in such detail and wide scope. We see traditions from various regions and their source in cultural and religious traditions. Thus we get a brief introduction to the importance of winter holidays in several religions and parallels to modern Christmas. Each exploration is fairly brief but a complete overview. It's more of a quick reference for the curious than a source of complete research but would be a welcome addition to most children's book collections.
