On Christmas Eve, Santa will pat his flying reindeer and climb into his sleigh---as always.
As always? Not exactly. Santa, according to journalist Aggie Gilmore, has been depicted riding a donkey or a goat, or even—nearly a century ago—piloting one of those new-fangled airplanes.
The Santa of old stories and illustrations is not always round and jolly, and it took several centuries for him to add a fur-trimmed red suit to his wardrobe. This is a little book full of big surprises.

Ancient Celts told an odd story about mistletoe while the New World flower, poinsettia, has almost magical Yuletide significance. A rose was not just a rose to the Victorians who considered roses, along with daisies and forget-me-nots, important Christmas flowers with layers of meanings.
This charming book, illustrated with antique Christmas-cards, decodes the meanings of the holiday greens and blossoms with which we decorate our homes.
The author, a New York cooking teacher, uses the language of flowers in designing festive tables.

Dozens of tame or wild animals and birds, especially, have had Christmas roles. Paintings of farm animals and woodland creatures at holiday-time are a treasured legacy. Occasionally, we see animals all dressed up like people for Christmas. More often, they're part of a bucolic Noel scene.

The choice of animals for such scenes was almost never accidental, author Clint Viebrock notes. Different birds and furred animals have either symbolized different aspects of Christmas or been chosen for illustrations on the basis of either their perceived talents or looks.
