AUTHOR

Nissenbaum, Stephen

SUMMARY

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.Nissenbaum, Stephen is the author of 'Battle for Christmas' with ISBN 9780679412236 and ISBN 0679412239.
