Synopsis America Celebrates by : Hennig Cohen
The holidays that we celebrate are relatively unchanged from their origins in faraway lands. This book is a tribute to the diversity of imagination surrounding some of America's most honored and sometimes offbeat cultural traditions. Beginning on New Year's Day and following the calendar year, it presents a montage of newspaper accounts, oral histories, and journal entries documenting: traditions, beliefs, legends, charms, riddles, gifts, superstitions, proverbs, recipes, poems, parades, songs, dances, games, contests and plays. Hundreds of observances are associated with the more than 60 weird and wonderful holidays!
