A Literary Christmas: Selected Essays

By Various

Description:

Take a look at the wide variety of perspectives and opinions, memories and traditions on the meaning of the Christmas holiday and associated traditions. Although few may pause to discuss such a profound question amidst a busy season of holiday parties and concerts and gift-shopping and tree decorating, here is some food for thought. These descriptive accounts and reflective discussions are drawn by the pens of American authors or published in the pages of American and English magazines. The cultural traditions of Christmas in America and those borrowed from Europe, in wartime or in times of peace, in religious and secular life, show the deep roots of Christmas within the social fiber of American life.
