Jackson, Sophie. The Medieval Christmas. Stroud Sutton Publishing: 2005. "Roaring fires, Yule logs- so many of our best-loved Christmas traditions have their origins in the medieval period that it would be impossible to imagine the season without holly and ivy, carol singers, and a general sense of celebration in the face of the harshest season. Sophie Jackson investigates the roots of the Christmas celebration in this beautifully illustrated book. She offers guidance for recreating elements of the medieval Christmas at home, tips on decorations, instructions for playing medieval games and recipes for seasonal dishes. Fascinating facts about some of our most cherished customs are unearthed as well as some less-well known. Lively and entertaining, this book recreates the medieval Christmas, showing how the traditions of the Middle Ages still delight us today".
