Christmas in America by Penne Lee Restad
The manger or Macy's? Americans might well wonder which is the real shrine of Christmas, as they take part each year in a mix of churchgoing, shopping, and family togetherness. In Christmas in America, Restad brilliantly captures the rise and transformation of our most universal national holiday.
both informative and illuminating, a gem of cultural history.. Best of all, Restad offers an intelligent and richly furnished answer to all the Christmas killjoys who shake their heads over modern materialism and secularism. * Christina Hardyment, The Independent *
a charmingly informative work of social history * Sally Singer, The Guardian *
