Enhance your holiday celebrations as you discover the real story behind some of your most beloved Christmas customs and how they all point to Christ.

Ever wonder where some of our unique and meaningful Christmas traditions come from? Why are red and green popular colors of the season? Why is exchanging gifts a family tradition?

The golden traditions of Christmas—gifts, wreaths, stockings, carols, mistletoe, and more—infuse your celebration of the season with meaning and glowing memories. And, in ways you may not realize, they also point you to the birth of Christ. Stories Behind the Great Traditions of Christmas reveals the people, places, and events that shaped the best-loved customs of this merriest of holidays.

Stories Behind the Great Traditions of Christmas includes insights about:

• Gift giving • Christmas trees • Caroling • Nativity scenes • Yule logs • Stockings • Advent wreaths • Mistletoe • Holly, and more!

You will discover how:

• After eighteen centuries of all but ignoring the event, churches began to open the door for believers to commemorate Jesus’ incarnation • The evergreen tree, once a central theme in the worship practices of pagan cultures, came to represent the everlasting love of God • The magi's three gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—are filled with spiritual symbolism

Stories Behind the Great Traditions of Christmas is the perfect gift to infuse your celebration with spiritual insights, true-life tales, and captivating legends to intrigue you and your family. Bring new luster and depth to your modern traditions while you celebrate Jesus' birth. The traditions of Christmas lend beauty, awe, and hope to the holiday, causing people all over the world to anticipate it with joy. Warm your heart as you rediscover the true and eternal significance of Christmas.
