Sobre este título
The Most Wonderful Time is a warm, funny, and unexpectedly profound journey through the centuries of stories, symbols, and surprises that gave us the holiday we know today.
From the winter solstice rituals of early humans to the chaos of Saturnalia in ancient Rome… from the real Saint Nicholas to Coca-Cola’s Santa… from pagan ghosts and Yule logs to Mariah Carey and Black Friday madness — this is the true, tangled history of Christmas as you’ve never seen it.
Along the way, James Johnson explores the contradictions at the heart of the holiday: joy and grief, light and darkness, sacred and commercial. And somehow, in the middle of all that chaos, Christmas still works. It still matters. It still feels like magic.
Whether you’re a diehard Christmas lover, a recovering holiday skeptic, or just someone who wants to know why this season hits so hard — this book is for you.
