reviewed Book of the Year: A Brief History of Our Seasonal Holidays on December 29, 2019
Book of the Year
While I had a general idea of the origins of most of our modern holidays, I was looking for something to go a bit more in-depth on how celebrations and traditions have morphed, coalesced, and often been intentionally molded by those in power throughout the centuries. This book certainly offers that. However, this was a bit of a tedious read - I found myself skimming sections in search of the information in which I was interested.
