The Christmas Book
edited by Francis X. Weiser
Harcourt Brace
1952
"The story of the celebration of Christmas, the growth of its many customs through the ages to present day American festivities."
I found this at an antique store a few years ago for $3.
Weiser was a Jesuit priest born in Austria. He dedicates the book to "the memory of a cherished friend: Georg Von Trapp, 1880-1947."
(Von Trapp is better known as the captain father in The Sound of Music.)
