Q Which Reindeer has the worst manner?
A Rude – Olph.
This is the time of the year when we all think of Celebrating Christmas. So here are a few books which look at the History of how Christmas has been celebrated throughout the last few centuries.
Horrible Christmas by Terry Deary.
This book looks at all kinds of unusual and possibly nasty things that have happened at Christmas over the centuries. It also gives us an idea of where things that we recognise as being for Christmas time come from, like fruit mince pies, Christmas Carol singing, how stuffing turkeys came about and what was eaten before then. It also talks about sick Christmas songs like: “Grandma got run over by a Reindeer”.
This is a very good book with lots of trivia information.

This book looks at the History of Christmas and how it is celebrated around the world. It also looks at the Customs related to Christmas. Very factual book.
Q. What goes OH, OH, OH!
