520 8  This book is a unique and groundbreaking visual 
       celebration of Christmas, a joyous religious and cultural 
       occasion observed by billions of people around the world. 
       The origins of Christmas are in the Christian observance 
       of the birth of Christ on 25 December and, since the early
       20th century, it has become a secular holiday with a 
       myriad decorations, rituals, and themes.00Key themes 
       covered include advent and the nativity; the Christmas 
       tree and holiday decorations; gift giving and carol 
       singing; classic Christmas films; and festive music. This 
       extraordinary book showcases a broad spectrum of global 
       festive traditions from many different cultures, such as 
       fried chicken eaten for Christmas dinner, surfing Santas, 
       and shoes filled with carrots.00With paintings, books, 
       prints, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, and photography, 
       the selection of works included features a diverse range 
       of both lesser-known and iconic artists, including Sandro 
       Botticelli, Grandma Moses, Beatrix Potter, Norman Rockwell,
       Malick Sidibé, Andy Warhol, and many more.00In The 
       Christmas Book, the significant artistic and cultural 
       influence of Christmas throughout history is explored 
       through a wide range of beautiful and significant artworks
       and images from across the ages and six continents, 
       creating the ultimate cultural companion to the festive 
       season.
