Book excerpt: In the world of Terre, the descendants of the winter god Boreas, the Saints of Noël, protected the Source of Yule — an entity incarnating solace, renewal, and rapture. The ensuing bloodline were champions of goodwill and peace; their annual signature celebration known as Conveyance across the lands. Boreas' soul resided in the principal Saint, Nicholas Kringle I, and every son and grandson that succeeded him to the throne was known as the Saint of Cheer, or "Santa Claus" — Conveyance's icon, and a heart full of light. But with every trace of light, there is darkness. Eve Alcazar grew up without a smile. Curiosity as to why leads to an adventure she had never anticipated. Tasked to intercept winter demon Krampus' quest for the Source of Yule, Eve makes a perilous journey across the nation of Polaris with her cousin, Nick, and best friend, Desiree. But to succeed, she must accept her identity as both the once-concealed granddaughter of the current Saint of Cheer... and the muse of the King of Misery himself.

Book excerpt: When the Yule Log Burns, by Leona Dalrymple, is a Christmas tale—a real one—as Christmas tales should be—full of happy yet poignant sentiment, understanding, glad hospitality. The old Doctor, who dominates the story with his warm understanding, vitalizing personality, lives alone with his wife in a roomy old farmhouse, their children, with the exception of one, all grown and married and living in the city. They have turned down the Doctor's invitation to come home for Christmas, but at the last moment he telegraphs command for them to come to a Christmas Eve masquerade which is going on that night. Of course they come, and on the stroke of twelve when they remove their masks the old mother's heart is made glad by beholding all her children around her again. Then there is the prodigal son, a young surgeon, who had been leading a wild life in the city. He, too, has returned to the roof-tree, only to fall in love with a charming young woman and to realize at last the responsibilities of life.
Download or read book About Christmas written by Nicolae Sfetcu and published by Nicolae Sfetcu. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas characters and food, Christmas-linked holidays and music, Santa Claus and traditions. Related to Annunciation, Incarnation; Crucifixion; Advent, the four weeks preceding Christmas; and the period between the day after Thanksgiving and the Sunday after New Year”s Day, the American holiday season. Christmas or Christmas Day is a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity. Aspects of celebration may include gift-giving, Christmas trees, display of Nativity sets, church attendance, the Father Christmas/Santa Claus myth, and family gatherings. Users of the Gregorian calendar observe the holiday on December 25. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate on December 25 by the Julian calendar, which currently corresponds to January 7 on the Gregorian calendar. These dates are merely traditional; the great majority of scholars agree that the actual birthdate of Jesus is unknown. In Western culture, the holiday is characterized by the exchange of gifts among friends and family members, some of the gifts being attributed to Santa Claus (also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Basil and Father Frost). However, various local and regional Christmas traditions are still practiced, despite the widespread influence of American, British and Australian Christmas motifs disseminated by film, popular literature, television, and other media.

Download or read book Kansas City written by Andrea L. Broomfield and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While some cities owe their existence to lumber or oil, turpentine or steel, Kansas City owes its existence to food. From its earliest days, Kansas City was in the business of provisioning pioneers and traders headed west, and later with provisioning the nation with meat and wheat. Throughout its history, thousands of Kansas Citians have also made their living providing meals and hospitality to travelers passing through on their way elsewhere, be it by way of a steamboat, Conestoga wagon, train, automobile, or airplane. As Kansas City’s adopted son, Fred Harvey sagely noted, “Travel follows good food routes,” and Kansas City’s identity as a food city is largely based on that fact. Kansas City: A Food Biography explores in fascinating detail how a frontier town on the edge of wilderness grew into a major metropolis, one famous for not only great cuisine but for a crossroads hospitality that continues to define it. Kansas City: A Food Biography also explores how politics, race, culture, gender, immigration, and art have forged the city’s most iconic dishes, from chili and steak to fried chicken and barbecue. In lively detail, Andrea Broomfield brings the Kansas City food scene to life.
Download or read book The Mythology of America s Seasonal Holidays written by Arthur George and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year we celebrate a cycle of seasonal holidays. The ancient Greeks called this cycle “The Dance of the Horae,” after the mythical divinities who represented the seasons. What myths sit at the foundation of our own holiday celebrations? This interdisciplinary book explores the myths and symbols that underlie our major seasonal holidays and give them their meaning. Arthur George also shows how America’s own mythmaking has shaped some holidays. This mythological approach reveals how and why holidays arose in the first place, how and why they have changed over the centuries, why they have remained important, and finally how we can celebrate them today in a more meaningful manner that can enrich our lives and better our society. George devotes particular attention to the depth psychological aspects of holidays and their corresponding myths, as well as to the insights of modern biblical scholarship for key holidays such as Easter and Christmas.
