Description
All About Christmas is the first book in the “All About. . .” series by The Good Book Company. The book is full of fun facts about the observation of Christmas as a holiday and about the biblical account of the birth of Christ. This book is unique in that it offers readers the opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of the historical and cultural contexts that existed around the time of Jesus’s birth. It also helps readers understand how Christmas is commonly celebrated on December 25th.
While it is a common tradition to refer to Christmas as Jesus’s birthday, I am grateful that the book explains, “The Bible doesn’t tell us the date Jesus was born, or even the time of year, but he was almost certainly not born on December 25th. December 25th was chosen a very long time ago as a day to celebrate Jesus being born,” (pg. 4). Read my full review here.
