From New Year's through Christmas this details the holidays and celebrations recognized in the United States and includes religious as well as secular, traditional as well as the observances of other nationalities and other special commemorative events. The history, customs, foods, and superstitions that attend each holiday are given, and less celebrated days are also described (Ground Hog Day, April Fool's Day, etc.) Teachers, and group leaders, will find this a handy reference guide either for direct program material or as an accurate source for group explanation.
