Holidays and Other Weird Events Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Explore America’s best-loved “no work” days through 380 beautiful and fun postcard images from the early 20th century.

They portray specific animals, children, flowers, and symbols that have come to identify each holiday, and some pretty “weird” events as well.

Fascinating histories of each holiday are included, and what diverse backgrounds they have!

For an appreciation of the weirdness of holiday recognitions, think of the images of a kid in a diaper kicking out an old bearded man, turkeys dancing, chickens nodding to rabbits, and strange men dropping down chimneys to make children happy.

The weird is integral to American holidays. All who celebrate them as well as artists, decorators, and postcard collectors will enjoy this book for the graphic styles it contains.

Historians will marvel at the reasons these holidays are celebrated today.
