Why Santa Might Kill You (Paperback)

This book is this year’s must-have stocking filler. It is a tongue-in-cheek horrible history of Christmas. Peeling away the veneer of the “holiday season” we reveal so many unexpected origins of traditions we all adopt in all innocence. Some of them quite dodgy others just plain dark.

It also looks at various rogue Santa’s from around the world including the rather terrifying Krampus and the Communist Grandpa Winter and reveals that the first datable reference to Father Christmas was a character created to embody everything that was WRONG about Christmas!

And while we are at it, there are a lot of other traditions we observe in the UK without questions. We take a deeper dive into some of those as well. So sit back and strap yourself in. Its going to be a bumpy ride.

This book is designed in a “Mini-Book” format. Measuring only 18cms X 12cms it will fit into the inside pocket of a blazer or the back pocket of a pair of jeans, ready to be whipped out at the drop of a hat, to bore everyone down the pub with “facts”. Also ideally designed to sit on a table besides the loo in any home.
