Christmas: Its Origin and Associations [PDF ebook] 
Together With Its Historical Events and Festive Celebrations During Nineteen Centuries: Depicting, by Pen and Pencil

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
