Synopsis

Step into the magic of Christmas as it is celebrated across the globe in The True Story of Christmas: Traditions, Legends, and Wonders from Around the World.

From the snowy markets of Germany to the candlelit processions of Sweden, from the dazzling fireworks of Latin America to the joyful lanterns of the Philippines, this book takes readers on a journey through the sights, sounds, and flavors of Christmas. Each chapter explores how different countries honor the season, weaving together history, legend, and living tradition in a way that is both fascinating and heartwarming.

Discover the stories of Saint Nicholas, La Befana, and the Three Kings. Learn how gingerbread houses, Christmas trees, and Yule logs began. Follow celebrations from midnight masses in France to festive beach gatherings in Australia, and experience how light, music, food, and faith come together to create a universal holiday of joy.

Written with warmth and wonder by Shelly Summers, this richly detailed collection invites readers ages 12 and up to see Christmas not as a single tradition but as a beautiful tapestry woven from many cultures. It is both a celebration of diversity and a reminder of the values that unite us—love, generosity, and hope.

Whether you are curious about the origins of your own traditions or eager to discover how others celebrate, this book will leave you inspired, enchanted, and more connected to the magic of Christmas than ever before.
