Nostalgia for the imagined warm family gatherings of yesteryear has coloured our understanding of family celebrations. Elizabeth Pleck examines two centuries of changing family traditions and finds a complicated process of change in the way Americans celebrate holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Chinese New Year and Passover, as well as the life cycle rituals of birth, coming of age, marriage and death. By the early 19th century carnivalesque celebrations outside the home were becoming sentimental occasions that used consumer culture and displays of status and wealth to celebrate the idea of home and family. The 1960s saw the full emergence of a post-sentimental approach to holiday celebration, which takes place outside as often as inside the home, and recognises changes in the family and women's roles, as well as the growth of ethnic group consciousness.
