The Battle for Christmas

Stephen Nissenbaum, "The Battle for Christmas"
ISBN: 0679412239 | 1996 | EPUB/MOBI | 381 pages | 7 MB/7 MB

In 1659 the Massachusetts Bay General Court declared the celebration of Christmas to be a criminal offense. What the Puritans were trying to suppress was a holiday marked by boisterous invasions of the homes of wealthy. As recently as the early 19 century, Christmas reveling often resulted in violence and riots. In this book, Nissenbaum explores the not-always-proud history of Christmas in American culture. 46 illustrations.
