"What we call Christmas is one of the oldest and most enduring of the human celebrations." So begins the Preface of this perennially popular volume which includes hundreds of seasonal selections from Unitarian Universalists over the years, plus a bibliography of resources beyond denominational inspiration. Celebrating Christmas contains history, customs, commentaries, opening words, responsive readings, poetry, prayers, meditations, readings, various service elements, special services, family and fun items, and a dozen woodcuts suitable for worship service covers.
