«Horrible Christmas» is the humour and history book for children and young people by Terry Deary, published by Scholastic in paperback (96 pages, in English).
An irreverent take on Christmas: the book gathers facts about unappetising festive foods, curious customs, winter disasters and traditions such as carols or pudding. It includes chilling seasonal tales and characters like Santa's little helper, with the satirical tone characteristic of Horrible Histories.
It is No. 8 in the Horrible Histories Specials series, with illustrations by Martin Brown. The work was originally published in 2000; this edition is from October 2007.
Aimed at a child and young adult audience, especially those who already know Horrible Histories and appreciate its irreverent humour about the past.
