The Winter celebrations "history" did lean very Christian/Western Europe. The author begins by saying that Winter celebrations, solstice, is celebrated the world over, but then didn't really have much discussion not based on Western Europe and Egypt. Traditions from various places around the world are brought in a bit with the Days of December section and Holidays around the world section, but probably should have been more in the initial section.
Some points of the book are a little... obvious? Like the beginning of a chapter discussing forgetting a gift and suggesting a gift card *then* went on to suggest crafty gifts, but some of those would take a fair amount of time, effort for salvaging last minute forgetfulness. So, I think the editing could be a little better and turned it around to be like: here are some crafty gifts, then end with- if you have run out of time and energy, there's always gift cards which are *fine*.
Anyway, overall, I enjoyed the book and would consider pulling it out next Yuletide season. It's not great, it could have been better. However, I enjoyed it. I'm not Wiccan but I'm considering purchasing to get me into the spirit for Winters and give ideas for crafts and treats. (
