New Book Reveals Many of the Secrets Behind the Christmas Story and our American Christmas Traditions

ENGLEWOOD, CO, December 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) With the Christmas season comes the fact that many people perform annual rituals of tradition without a clue as to why they do those rituals apart from "that's just what people do at Christmas".

As an American society, we are used to seeing people bring home a cut evergreen tree to set in the middle of their living room and hang shiny things on it for weeks. It is the people asking themselves, "why do rational human beings do these things every year?" who will most enjoy the answers found in "The Secrets Behind Our Christmas Traditions Revealed" by author Tim Gilroy. This book not only has answers to where Christmas traditions originated from, but also has some fascinating insights about the Christmas Story of the birth of Jesus Christ, the original reason for Christmas.

A prime example of an unexplained part of the Christmas Story is how that Star of Bethlehem moved like it did. We know that a star is basically a giant ball of burning gas like the sun, but the story has it moving and then stopping over a small city. People have heard this story for years and have just accepted it despite the facts of how a star physically is. This puts the true Christmas Story in the same genre as a fairy tale. It is the author's objective to show that everything about the Christmas Story is real and true and shows the evidence. The answer about the star will seem obvious once you read about it in "The Secrets Behind Our Christmas Traditions Revealed".

Tim Gilroy, the author, is a licensed minister in the Denver, Colorado area. He is also the editor and contributing author for the website http://www.HealthyBodyofChrist.com . Tim has years of experience in the field of nutrition and Christian ministry, but it is his desire to be real and genuine with people that inspired him to write this book to help dispel the fictional aspects surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ and Christmas in general. This book is not a religious book, but a book of historical facts showing that there are very good and positive reasons for what we do through the practice of our Christmas traditions.

While there are many books available about the history of Christmas, this book shows Christmas in a new and different light with the purpose of making the reader's Christmas something more than just a time of giving and receiving presents. Rather, Christmas will become a time of real celebration and meaning that they may never have experienced before.

Currently this book is only available through Amazon.
