About this item
When a living nativity scene erupted into chaos on the festive streets of Rome, a chicken was there.
When a fish destined for Christmas dinner swam in a bathtub in a small town in the Czech Republic, a chicken was there.
When a woman in a snow-covered hamlet in Norway struggled to get the overpowering smell of her lutefisk Christmas feast out of her curtains, a chicken was there.
Now, for the first time ever, the chickens who have witnessed the Christmas traditions of countries all around the world will tell their stories. Part historical fiction, part humorous observation, the sharp wit and heartwarming innocence of the hens and roosters who were there tell the stories of how the world celebrates Christmas. From the historical origins of traditions such as Saint Nicholas, Advent Calendars, Christmas trees, and gingerbread houses, to the modern-day celebrations of over twenty different countries, these eyewitnesses to the festivities tell their stories.
From Boxing Day in Canada to pinatas in Mexico, from the straw goats of Sweden to the Christmas markets of Paris, a chicken was there.
