whychristmas?com is a seasonal site created by James Cooper, a Christmas loving web designer from Somerset in the UK. This fun site, aimed at kids of all ages (!), gives you the A's to many of the Q's of Christmas. About the only thing it doesn't tell you is what colour socks to get your Uncle Frank!

Send Santa down the chimney to find out who Good King Wenceslas really was and why we have dead trees in our homes over Christmas! Click the flaming pudding to get the A to Z of what happens around the world at Christmas (that's Australia to Zimbabwe!). And come back every day during December to check out Bruce the Spruce's (the site's fir tree logo) Advent Calendar! And that's not all, the real purpose behind the site is the Christmas story. You can read it all and find out some of the real history behind the sorty.

Launched on November 1st 2000, this site has quickly grown to become one of the most comprehensive Christmas sites on the web.

James sufferes from M.E., so web design has been a great outlet of creativity for him. The site is also a way that he can share his love of Christmas, and show the world how Christmases Past have become Christmas Present!
