Is that a paper twist pulled apart between two people, a lantern carved out of a turnip, or a game of snatching raisins from burning brandy?

One of those is true. The other two were invented to fool you.

100 forgotten Christmas words. One true meaning each. How many can you get?

Every word in this book comes from the language and traditions of Christmas past. Some are still in the dictionary. Others survive only in old accounts of how the season used to be kept - the customs, the drinks, the games, and the deep midwinter cold.

Did you know that people once carried a horse's skull from door to door on Christmas Eve? That children were sent out begging for gifts four days before Christmas, and it had its own name? That the pudding began life as a spiced meat broth?

Some you'll guess. Some you'll get wrong with total confidence. And a few you'll refuse to believe even after you've checked the answer.

Inside you'll find:

- 100 forgotten words, grouped into ten themed chapters
