Everyone celebrates the Christmas holidays in their own way, and
that includes the President of the United States. Some have enjoyed
large gatherings, while others took part in a quiet, relaxing
atmosphere. This book takes a look at each of the country's leaders
approach to the year's biggest holiday season, and some of the
traditions they started.
For the average person, most of the American history that he or she
knows comes from facts taught to them in school to prepare them for
their state mandated tests. That's not the fault of their teachers
who were just carrying out the directives of their employers. But
it's also a fact that a great deal of that content that they were
teaching is dry and boring. However, as in every aspect of life,
there is always another story behind each major event. The story of
America is interesting and exciting, but it's those lesser known
parts of our history that make it special. Even though in most
cases, the names and events in the book will be recognizable, most
of the stories about them will be new to the reader. If you're a
young teacher, perhaps you'll find some material to help you get
through those less-than-exciting areas of your textbook. If you
hated history as a student, maybe you'll find some of these tales
entertaining. For those of you who are history buffs, hopefully
you'll come across a few things that are new to you.

History is full of examples where there are important stories that
took place which coincided with a landmark event. There is no
shortage of items worth mentioning that have been overshadowed by
other aspects of history. This book is about those events with one
dedicated to each day of the year that it took place. The United
States doesn't have a prolonged period of history like some other
countries, although for a nation that has been around for fewer
years, the events are interesting, exciting, and can often bring a
smile.

heroes, inventors, celebrities, athletes, etc. This book is a great
supplement to any history class.

Like many aspects of the nation's history, its elections have had
their share of behind the scenes activity and drama. This work is
an examination of each of the presidential contests and some of the
unusual events surrounding them such as the back room convention
deals, compromised candidates, campaign strategies, both successful
and failures; and major effects on the outcomes due to such
inventions as television. In some cases, a swing of just a few
votes to another candidate could have had a profound effect on
America's future.
