What does the Bible really say about the birth of Jesus? How did the celebration of Christmas become associated with things like Santa Claus and decorated trees? In The True Meaning of Christmas: The Birth of Jesus and the Origins of the Season, biblical scholar Michael Patrick Barber offers an inspiring look at the Bible's accounts of Jesus' birth and the development of the Christmas season. As Dr. Barber will show, to find our way "home" at Christmas, we need to first return to Christmas' home in the story of the Bible.

I really liked this book. Dr. Michael Barber lays out the history and theology of Christmas. After going through the old and new testaments, he shows how our modern day particulars, such as Santa and Christmas trees, came to be. I highly recommend to anyone who wants a deep biblical or historical understanding of Xmas.
