Book Description
The Krampus, a folkloric devil associated with St. Nicholas in Alpine Austria and Germany, has been embraced by the American counterculture and is lately skewing mainstream. The new Christmas he seems to embody is ironically closer to an ancient understanding of the holiday as a perilous, haunted season. In the Krampus' world, witches rule Christmas, and saints can sometimes kill.

Book Description
'Tis the Season for Witches, Elves, and a Legion of Ghosts Not so very long ago, Yuletide was as much a chilling season of ghosts and witches as it was a festival of goodwill. In The Old Magic of Christmas, you'll rub elbows with veiled spirits, learn the true perils of elves, and discover a bestiary of enchanted creatures. Rife with the more frightful characters from folklore and the season's most petulant ghosts, this book takes you on a spooky sleigh ride from the silvered firs of a winter forest to the mirrored halls of the Snow Queen. Along the way, you'll discover how to bring the festivities into your home with cookie recipes and craft instructions, as well as tips for delving more deeply into your relationship with the unseen. Praise: "Steeped in history and adorned with a bit of enchantment, The Old Magic of Christmas is the perfect book to read by a winter's fire with a mug of mulled cider in hand."--Deborah Blake, author of The Witch's Broom "...[A] fascinating journey into the stories behind the tinsel and bows."--Doreen Shababy, author of The Wild & Weedy Apothecary "...[A]n intriguing little tome that explores the darker side of the Yuletide holiday."--Ellen Dugan, author of The Enchanted Cat

Book Description
Celebrate the beauty and charm of the holidays with recipes for traditional food and drink, decorating ideas, and heartwarming stories With its trademark snow, piney forests, sleigh rides and woodsmoke curling out of village chimneys, New England was practically invented for the Christmas postcard. It’s got your Christmas goose and the maple syrup with which to glaze it. It’s most of the reason author Ellen Stimson made Vermont her home. Here she shares recipes that have been in her family for generations, mixes up a cocktail or two, and invites readers to make their own traditions.

Book Description
Casey Gray had grown up on legends of Old Christmas Eve, a night when spirits walk, cattle kneel at midnight, and signs of spring appear in the form of elder blooms and fig buds, even beneath ice. When she returns to the small Southeast Texas town she’d grown up in, Casey doesn’t dream there can be anything left beneath the ice that covered her former relationship with Kalin McBride. The next thing Casey knows, she’s in danger of falling for Kalin all over again, but the problems that had separated them before still remain, and even though Casey has achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a professional chef, she now wonders if that will be enough for her. It will take every bit of determination Kalin has, plus a little help from the magic walking the earth on Old Christmas Eve, to convince Casey that her future lies with Kalin in her little hometown.

Old Christmas is a collection of five Christmas stories, portraying an idealized celebration of old-fashioned Christmas customs at a quaint English manor, and depicting harmonious warm-hearted English Christmas festivities, which author experienced while staying in Aston Hall, Birmingham.
