Explore Americas best-loved no work days through 380 beautiful and
fun postcard images from the early 20th century. They portray
specific animals, children, flowers, and symbols that have come to
identify each holiday, and some pretty weird events as well.
Fascinating histories of each holiday are included, and what
diverse backgrounds they have! For an appreciation of the weirdness
of holiday recognitions, think of the images of a kid in a diaper
kicking out an old bearded man, turkeys dancing, chickens nodding
to rabbits, and strange men dropping down chimneys to make children
happy. The weird is integral to American holidays. All who
celebrate them as well as artists, decorators, and postcard
collectors will enjoy this book for the graphic styles it contains.
Historians will marvel at the reasons these holidays are celebrated
today.
