Tanya Gulevich (Author)
Featuring 240 A-Z entries Christmas New Year's ritual lore, Gulevich's volume is worthy addition to cultural reference shelf. Well researched appealingly illustrated black-and-white sketches, text outlines holiday customs easy-to-read language. There entries for ancient Roman festival Saturnalia, Salvation Army kettles, Charles Dickens' Christmas writings, cite few examples. The entry Christmas carols offers succinct overview from time of gospels to present day. Coverage has been expanded from first edition, Encyclopedia Christmas (2000), encompass New Year celebrations entries such Resolutions Times Square, NewYear's Eve in. There also more coverage Christmas around world. Around 30 national traditions described entries such Iran, Christmas in Mexico, Christmas in. The text contains reference helps: sprinkling cross-references, 70 pages meticulous indexing, 5 pages illuminated lettering Christmas motifs.
Weaknesses fall mainly in category omissions or lack upgrade from first edition. An entry on U.S. national Christmas tree presents serious examination of politicizing an annual tradition. However, author offers data from 1993 examples of number people attending ceremony and number lights strung on White House tree. Following entries resources Web sites further study, many which seriously out date. Gulevich fails include some standard elements holiday celebration, e.g., Alfred Burt carols, popular story "The Fourth Wise Man," Benjamin Britten's "Ceremony Carols." Overall, commentary limited depth. Nevertheless, topic is popular one, especially around holiday time, school public libraries will want add this to ir collections. Those already owning first edition may not consider it essential update.
