    Christmas in Germany: A Cultural History

     
    Christmas in Germany: A Cultural History

    Description

    For poets, priests, and politicians in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the image of the loving nuclear family gathered around the Christmas tree symbolized the unity of the nation at large. Joe Perry argues that Germans used these annual celebrations to contest the deepest values that held the German community together: faith, family, and love, and also civic responsibility, material prosperity, and national belonging.
