Here's some reviews:

The New York Times Book Review, Simon Singh
...a delightful compendium of seasonal science.... Relying on the research of an eminent list of scholars from around the world, he endeavors to enrich our understanding of everything associated with the holiday, providing genuine insights as well as fanciful speculation.

The Washington Post Book World, Jonathan Yardley
The tone of his book is whimsical with only occasional lapses into the merely fey, and he manages to get across a great deal of complicated information in terms the lay reader can (mostly) understand. The title of his book notwithstanding, his discussion is hardly limited to physics or even to the other, narrower fields mentioned in his subtitle; he also worships at the altars of psychology, sociology and other such enterprises in which scientific exactitude gives way to hit or miss.

Book Description
Can reindeer fly? Why is Santa Claus fat? Was the Star of Bethlehem really a comet? Will scientists succeed in creating the perfect Christmas tree by cloning? How do snowflakes form, and what could we do to guarantee an annual white Christmas? How does Santa manage to deliver presents to an estimated 842 million households in a single night? Why is Rudolphs nose red? These are among the questions explored in an irresistibly witty book that illuminates the cherished rituals, legends, and icons of Christmas from a unique and fascinating perspective: science. Just what the elves ordered.... Highfield is the best sort of guide: he is brimming with facts, but he doesnt use them to bludgeon the mystery out of Christmas. ˜ Newsweek

Yahoo Answers subscriber "Poondi B" seems to imply that science is supposed to already have all the answers and, since it doesn't and never will, faith should be invoked to fill in the gaps.

Faith is the human sentiment that responds to the desire of wanting an explanation, even if a rational one is not yet available. Faith gives us the license to imagine, which is all one can say for the so called spiritual world. There is nothing wrong with the human faculty of imagination; it helps us think beyond the possible by implicitly asking ourselves questions such as, "Can something heavier than air ever be able to fly?" For centuries people could only imagine the possibility of flying, and then science made it a reality. The problem begins when faith prevents what's possible by declaring that that there are truths that can be known without science.

Answer 3

Evidently we want the sanction of science for everything - from keeping oneself clean to prayer and celebration. We have to understand that while science is good in its unbiased approach to unravel mysteries and even routine natural events, there is a limitation to it..Remember that even its old findings are modified or totally altered with fresh revelations on the subject....Further it can not investigate a host of things beyond physical domain... The Faith cures and miracles of assorted nature falling under the domain of metaphysics... It is therefore weakness of mind to depend on a scientific basis for the rituals (falling under the physical plane) ignoring the probable spiritual significance... So I will not run to find a relation to science for every religious /spiritual event..
