The December 2007 issue of All The Rage is published today, and has various items related (in broad terms) to Christmas, including my article on ‘Christmas presents through time’ which looks at some of the things that have been inflicted upon children at this time of year in the name of seasonal goodwill. Other great stuff in this issue includes letters to Santa, an Advent calendar, and the various ways in which Christmas combines hope and disappointment.
