The Xmas Files is designed to be a fun book, but one underpinned by an exploration of some real issues. The way we celebrate Christmas says a lot about the way we relate to each other, our society, and our values. Stephen Law takes a look at such things as Bertrand Russells turkey, the existential angst of Santa, and peace on earth to produce a humourous, varied, and thought-provoking collection.
