This was a lovely read!
It was fascinating to read about Christmas through the ages and how people celebrated it.
It also made me more aware of the things we take for granted nowadays, forgetting what truly matters. It is the simple and thoughtful things that really make the difference, as opposed to lavish gifts. It is also very important to be with friends or loved ones.
The fact that interviews were used made the reader feel more involved with the story as if they were reliving history themselves, which ugh was a lovely touch.
Overall, this was a joy to read and I definitely recommend. It covered so many different aspects, and the author did a great job at trying to encompass as much of the Christmas spirit as possible. This included food, entertainment, music, games, decorations, traditions, family life and much more. The information was laid out in an informative, yet fun way.
