Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Holiday celebrations in the United States are a major force driving the nation's approximately $3 trillion retail economy. The commercial culture of holidays extends from the traditional—decorations, costumes, and cards—to the immaterial and ephemeral—phone calls, airline tickets, and department store bills. This colorfully illustrated volume consists of more than thirty-five clever and often satirical essays arranged according to calendar year.
