Not everyone, however, knows the origin of this celebration or how and why many of its customs and traditions originated. What is the real Christmas story? Why do we put up a tree at Christmas? What is the origin of the tinsel that we use to decorate the tree? When was Jesus really born? What is the origin of Boxing Day? Which country first issued Christmas stamps, Why does Santa Claus wear a red suit? This book has the answers to these questions and dozens more. This book has a particular focus on the way in which we celebrate Christmas in Australia. but the background to the major customs and traditions of Christmas are relevant to people anywhere around the world. |
