- Summary:
- It's the most wonderful time of the year! This special edition covers Christmas in all its beauty, warmth and spirit. By revisiting the reason for the season, back to the manger in Bethlehem, and then tracing the holiday traditions through the years and across the land, right up to today, this issue explores and celebrates Christmas like no other. Learn about the origins of Santa Claus, the development of gift-giving and the emphasis on fellowship that defines this extraordinary day. And don't forget the countless pop culture incarnations: The stories, the movies, the songs. The Magic of Christmas is built around stunning photography from all corners of the globe, beautiful writing, and a treasure of special treats (secrets to the finest gingerbread and egg nog; glimpses of the most exceptional trees) along with a visiting of Christmas miracles past and present.
