Book Description
People dont usually question holiday traditions or their origins, but maybe they should. Over centuries, explanations of how and why holidays exist may have been lost or changed.
Some holiday histories might only be known by a few individuals. Ancient magic spells could have influenced how we celebrate today. Fairies, zombies, or demons may have shaped our holidays.
Consider the following
Why do people give red roses and cards on Valentine’s Day?
Is there more to the story of Purim than is traditionally told?
Why do people wear green on St. Patrick’s Day?
What happens to spirits that are captured during the Japanese Doll Festival?
Where does Santa get his helpers?
You may think you know the truth, but you cant be too sure.
