Christmas Watching by Desmond Morris
Explores the roots of modern Christmas celebrations and explains why people keep such odd customs year after year as the 25th of December approaches. Why do people eat turkey on Christmas day? Why do they pull crackers? Why do they dream of a white Christmas? It is all a matter of tradition.
