Join author Alex Palmer to learn about the Christmas traditions around the world. His book titled The Atlas of Christmas: The Merriest, Tastiest, Quirkiest Holiday Traditions from Around the World " aims to capture this range in all its rich variety and explore how a tradition, whether a colorful ornament or peculiar character, tells a much deeper story about that country or culture. Santa Claus may be the holiday heavyweight in North America, but in many Spanish-speaking countries, kids stay up late waiting for the three Wise Men, while Italians look for a jolly lady riding a broomstick."

Courtesy of the White Oak Library District, two random participants will receive a free copy of the book mentioned above. Winners can pick up books at the Crest Hill Branch's Adult & Teen Reference Desk.
