Christmas is one of the great feasts of the year, and this book is itself a feast of Christmas faith. Alex Basile has gathered lore and history, songs and recipes, garlands and symbols, and shown them all to be emblems and heralds of the Great King who comes our way. He calls to witness voices as varied as J.R.R. Tolkien, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Charlie Brown, and St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Christmas season brings out the best in everyone, including authors. In this book by Alex Basile (an author I love), it has brought forth the best from the best.
