This considerably expanded third edition of
The Christmas Encyclopedia
(2001) adds 281 new entries, bringing the total number of Christmas topics to more than 760. Continuing in the format of the previous editions, a wide variety of subjects are included: individual carols and songs; historical events at Christmastime; popular Christmas symbols; Christmas plants, place names, and stamps; and celebrations in countries around the world, including the origins of some of the most cherished traditions in the United States. Unique to this work is its emphasis on Christmas as depicted in the popular media, with entries covering literary works such as
Call Me Mrs. Miracle
and
Silver Bells
, classic television series such as
Bonanza
and
Little House on the Prairie
, motion pictures such as Arthur Christmas and
Santa Clause 3
, and television specials expressing holiday themes.
