The opening · free to read
This text contains passages using the Anglo-Saxon thorn (Ž or ž, equivalent of "th"), which should display properly in most text viewers. The Anglo-Saxon yogh (equivalent of "y," "i," "g," or "gh") will display properly only if the user has the proper font, so to maximize accessibility, the character "3" is used in this e-text to represent the yogh.
Characters with a macron are preceded by an equal sign and enclosed in square brackets, e.g., [=a].
Superscripted characters are preceded by a carat and enclosed in curly brackets, e.g., y^{t}.]
To the Reader
I do not craue mo thankes to haue, than geuen to me all ready be; but this is all, to such as shall peruse this booke. That, for my sake, they gently take what ere they finde against their minde, when he, or she, shal minded be therein to looke.

A righte Merrie Christmasse!!!
In it the reader will find its History, Legends, Folk-lore, Customs, and Carols--in fact, an epitome of Old Christ-tide, forming a volume which, it is hoped, will be found full of interest.
