Did you know that Christmas celebrations of a sort began long before Christ's birth and more resembled a carnival (with drunken, brawling villagers) than a semi-solemn religious observance? This nicely filmed "history" of Christmas traces the origins of the holiday from the early "Yule" log burnings by pre-Christian Norse families to the adoption of Christmas trees in England during the 1940s and the emergence of the modern-day Santa Claus. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (R. Pitman)
