This collection of quality photos taken during the Christmas season shows Americans celebrating in many different ways. Santa Claus appears in many places and in many contexts, emerging from the Hawaiian surf to the traditional handing off of a wrapped gift. There are also photos of Christmas performances, from concerts and ballets to nativity scenes. Most striking are the beautiful photos of nature's winter splendor. Winter weather can be horrific, but there is nothing prettier that a fresh snowfall in cold crisp weather.
A celebration of the Christmas season with all the splendor and shopping stress, this collection of photos truly captures Americans in all aspects of the Christmas spirit.

I purchased this after buying number of books in a the "A Day in a life of" series, great photography and adjoining stories.
