How Mrs. Claus Saved Christmas
How Mrs. Claus Saved Christmas | Jeff Guinn
8 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
In How Mrs. Claus Saved Christmas, Jeff Guinn combines solid historical fact with glorious legend to deliver another heartwarming holiday book for the whole family. It's 1620 and Mrs. Claus's dear husband is off in the New World planting the seeds of what will become a glorious Christmas tradition. Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus has chosen to stay in England, where the first signs of a dangerous threat to Yuletide cheer are in evidence. The Puritans have gained control of Parliament and appear determined to take all the fun out of Christmas. But Mrs. Claus knows that it's time for serious action when, in 1647, a law is passed by Parliament that actually punishes anyone who celebrates Christmas. Using as its springboard the actual events of a day in 1647 when ten thousand peasants marched through the streets of Canterbury demanding their right to celebrate a beloved holiday, How Mrs. Claus Saved Christmas is rich in historical detail, adventure, and plain ol' Christmas fun.

Just finished listening to this Christmas story which was a perfect read for the holidays. This book is the second in the series but I don‘t think it‘s an issue to read them out of order as I did. I enjoyed the mix of fable and history. 3/5⭐️

This series is history through the lens of Christmas and therefore the Church. At the same time, it doesn‘t shy away from valid criticism of the Church and it is decidedly feminist. The first 1/3 of this sequel is a recap of the first and then it gets into the banning of Christmas by the Puritans in 1647 England. I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed this series and hope to get to the third installment next December.

Released today on History Chicks for anyone who likes podcasts- not for children because there are spoilers. This is about the invention of Mrs Claus.

Bookzombie Thanks! I am going to check out this podcast as I hadn‘t heard of it. 🙂 5y

The perfect Christmas time read. And an interesting look into 17th century Puritan England.
