The ancient tales and distant origins of Christmas and its' traditions have long been of very little interest to the right thinking. This book seeks to arm the know it all, the boor, the acid tempered and other social miscreants with information designed to harass the sensibilities of the more balanced celebrants of Christmas. Early scorn for Vinsons Christmas: And Other Oddities. A work of utter madness. : The London Chronicle An inelegant assortment of claptrap, poppycock, balderdash and rubbish with the aftertaste of an ill stored cod. : Lloyds Illustrated Newspaper Repellent tripe of the first order. a tome so vile as to shame Gutenberg himself. : The Hull Packet

Fred M. Vinson, the thirteenth Chief Justice of the United States, started his political career as a small-town Kentucky lawyer and rose to positions of power in all three branches of federal government. Born in Louisa, Kentucky, Vinson earned undergraduate and law degrees from Centre College in Danville. He served 12 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he achieved acclaim as a tax and fiscal expert. President Roosevelt appointed him to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and later named him to key executive-branch positions. President Truman appointed him Secretary of the Treasury and then Chief Justice. The Vinson court was embroiled in critical issues affecting racial discrimination and individual rights during the cold war. Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson of Kentucky: A Political Biography offers a wealth of insight into one of the most significant and highly regarded political figures to emerge from Kentucky.
