Merry Christmas! Celebrating AmericaÕs Greatest HolidayHarvard University Press, 30/06/2009 - 460 من الصفحات It wouldn't be Christmas without the "things." How they came to mean so much, and to play such a prominent role in America's central holiday, is the tale told in this delightful and edifying book. In a style characteristically engaging and erudite, Karal Ann Marling, one of our most trenchant observers of American culture, describes the outsize spectacle that Christmas has become. |
