Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Christmas came from various goverment sources (GNIS, FIPS), we also found mention of Christmas in various books and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Christmas. We hope that they will be useful to you.

Note: Initially, we were careless about keeping track of where our Christmas data came from. The following list of references and mentions is incomplete.

A note taken from the Shipper's Guide for Christmas:

Both the GNIS and FIPS databases contain entries for Christmas. See our Misc Page for Christmas for more information.
