The Epic Book of Christmas (The Epic Books of)

The Epic Book of Christmas A celebration of the season in one beautiful volume. The Epic Book of Christmas gathers everything we love about the holiday into one timeless keepsake. It’s a book meant to sit on the coffee table, to be opened again and again throughout December, to fill the home with warmth, wonder, and the spirit of Christmas. Inside, you’ll find the stories that have defined the holiday for generations — from A Christmas Carol to O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi, and Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved tales. Alongside these classics are two original stories written by author Ethan Howard that capture the same heart and reverence for the season, blending faith, hope, and quiet beauty in the spirit of Christmas storytelling. The book also explores the origins of the traditions we cherish most — the Christmas tree, the wreath, the nativity, the candy cane, and more — tracing how they came to be and what they still mean today. Beautifully written articles share the history behind carols, poems, and customs from around the world, along with reflections that remind us why Christmas remains the most meaningful time of year. To round it out, you’ll find a full collection of classic carols and poems, time-honored recipes for the holiday table, and even a few ideas for family games and gatherings to make the season memorable. Every page is designed to be a celebration — a companion to candlelight, music, and laughter — something you can share with family on Christmas Eve or simply enjoy by the fire with a cup of cocoa. The Epic Book of Christmas is more than a book. It’s an experience — a tribute to faith, family, and the enduring joy of the holiday season. View Less
