Description
Christmas, as we see it today, is simply a work of fiction: "Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church. Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts; Origen, glancing perhaps at the discreditable imperial Natalitia, asserts that in the Scriptures sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthday; Arnobius can still ridicule the "birthdays" of the gods." The Catholic Encyclopedia
This book has 30 chapters by renowned authors that examine the Christmas holiday from many different angles.
