As it happens, there’s a good piece in today’s Washington Post about the history of the Christmas celebration, particularly in the U.S.
I know I’m not the first one to complain about all the panic and consumerism around this season–I’ve been hearing this all my life, in fact. But Penne L. Restad’s piece gives me a nice, clear perspective on this history of my own anxiety.
