America's Favorite Holidays explores how five of America's
culturally important holidays-Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter,
Halloween, and Thanksgiving-came to be what they are today,
seasonal and religious celebrations heavily influenced by modern
popular culture. Deftly distilling information from a wide range of
sources, Bruce David Forbes reveals often-surprising answers to
questions about each holiday's traditions. Was Christmas always as
commercialized as it is today? Is Thanksgiving a religious or
secular holiday? When did we begin trick-or-treating on Halloween?
Appealing and insightful, America's Favorite Holidays satisfies our
curiosity about the origins of our holidays and the fascinating
ways in which religion and culture mix.
