  This book is part of a series packed with a range of activities associated with seasons of the year. Projects include arts and crafts, recipes, experiments and games, and cover such topics as the natural world, religious festivals and other special days in the calendar. This book contains a variety of projects which the author has linked to Christmas celebrations from around the world. The author looks at the ancient tradition of holding festivals in mid-winter and explains how many aspects of pagan ritual have become part of the Christmas celebrations. She introduces the reader to Christmas customs from different parts of the world. These are linked to ideas for Christmas projects, including cards, decorations, recipes, a wreath for birds to feed on, a Christmas stocking and an usual Advent calendar. Each project is explained, with step-by-step instructions and colour illustrations.
