Carols were dances. Mince pies had meat in them. Five medieval Christmas traditions you still keep every December, and what happened to them on the way.

I have the most beautiful, special children's book to share with you today. 

Let's Celebrate Korean New Year!, written by Michelle W. Park, illustrated by Hyewon Yum, and published by Random House, is an absolute treasure. 

Publisher's note: While we love Hogwarts and the Harry Potter universe, we do not condone the author's views and transphobia.

I'm so happy to introduce you to my favorite celebratory cookbook, written by one of my favorite authors. The Unofficial Hogwarts for the Holidays Cookbook: 75 Recipes for a Year of Magical Celebrations, by Rita Mock-Pike, is a treasure for cooking delicious holiday foods all year round.
