*The perfect gift this Christmas*

Christmas is a day when history is made.

Take a festive journey through time and uncover the incredible historical events, amazing scientific discoveries and unique true stories that all happened on December 25th.

From William the Conqueror's dramatic coronation in 1066 and the World War One truce in 1914, to the incredible launch of the James Webb telescope in 2021 and daring Christmas Day heists - a lot has happened on Christmas Days down the years.

Plus, discover quirky traditions and Winter Solstice celebrations from the Vikings to the Mayans, learn about the foods people eat and festivities from around the world, and see December 25th like it's never been seen before.

A unique stocking filler gift for curious minds at Christmas.
