Free on Google Books (to stream of download)

A really wonderful book that contains just about anything one might need for researching Christmas traditions. The beauty of the Google Books platform makes it searchable and open to investgation too, which really helped for this topic It also opens the eyes to other works that might be of use and for that alone it is worthwhile.
