"Words Christmas Gave Us" unwraps the stories behind the season, via festive words from advent to yule and grinch to scurryfunge. This book, the third in the series, explores the influence of Greeks, Romans, Vikings, Tudors, Dickens, and of course Santa Claus on worldwide traditions, merry music, decorations, feasts, and more. Discover why Jean-Paul Sartre wrote a nativity play, when Jingle Bells was sung in space, who gave us gingerbread houses, what Christmas decoration used to contain false teeth, and how a newspaper typo started Santa tracking. Pull on your Santa hat, make a wish, and dive into the words and history of Christmas. Ideal for word geeks, Christmas enthusiasts, and anybody who's ever said Bah Humbug or Ho Ho Ho.
