Confused? Me too. This really isn't a book of folklore. I was expecting a history of Christmas traditions throughout Europe, or something of the like. This is not that. The author picks one aspect of Christmas, say Santa Clause, and goes off on a meandering tangent that ends up nowhere near the topic of the chapter. I do not recommend.
