Our American Holidays

<i>Our American Holidays: Their Meaning and Spirit</i> was originally published in 1906 and is at once a heartwarming reminiscence on the Victorian Era in America and a reminder of the inspiration and delight our most beloved Traditional holidays - <i>Christmas Thanksgiving Day Easter Halloween</i> - as well as the national identity and pride our uniquely American holidays - <i>Independence Day Memorial Day Flag Day the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington</i> - can still hold for us today. Compiled from the pages of <i>St. Nicholas Magazine</i> a popular turn of the Century publication for youth ages five to eighteen <i>Our American Holidays: Their Meaning and Spirit</i> is an ideal resource for reclaiming the original uncommercialized significance and character of every American holiday for ourselves and for sharing that vision inspiration and delight with the children we love.
