About This Book
The collection assembles seasonal verse, carols, and ballads drawn from a range of Yuletide traditions, juxtaposing devotional hymns on the Nativity with folk songs, wassails, and lighter pieces about Santa and domestic celebration. Arranged as short lyrics, narrative ballads, translations, and dialect items, the selections evoke weather, ritual, pageantry, family gatherings, and the mingled solemnity, merriment, and reflection associated with the Christmas season.
