    WoW!! I just spent the last hour soaking in all the “other” information (articles we didn’t download). A LOT of time has gone into their research and A LOT of resources about Christmas are available. I’ve always enjoyed learning the history and the “Why” things are/were done, and this book provides information on some subjects I never really thought about. This is a really neat book! As a teacher, all of the books will be a valuable asset to my classroom.

    Thank you, Erskine Family, for posting this wonderful Freebie today.

    I just read the Origin of Christmas Trees chapter. I really like the thoughtful commentary and Biblical references about this old custom. The other reading at their site is a wonderful bonus to this freebie, too. I plan on using one of their recipes for Christmas dinner!
