Whatever their focus, holidays are usually rather complex events.
From the rear cover
Jack Santino's guide to such festivities is a wonderfully readable exploration of holidays, family and neighborhood rituals, and life-cycle customs and celebrations. He draws on history, anthropology, popular culture, and folklore to reveal the intricate relationships between holidays and the roles they play in people's personal and public lives.
