{"product_id":"the-trouble-with-christmas","title":"The Trouble with Christmas","description":"In The Trouble with Christmas Tom Flynn challenges America's most popular sacred cow. Alternately outrageous, satirical, and thoughtful, this rollicking critique calls Christmas to account.\nHow many holiday traditions are authentically Christian? (Next to none.)\nDoes the contemporary Christmas holiday have ancient roots? (Hardly. It was largely invented by six eminent Victorians.)\nIs the Santa Claus myth unhealthy for children? (Yes, Virginia.)\nAre Christmas critics discriminated against? (Is \"Scrooge\" an insult?)\nWhat is the future of Christmas as America becomes a multicultural, multifaith society? (Educators should start sweating now.)\nThe Trouble with Christmas is not only for curmudgeons, but for citizens, parents, teachers, and freethinkers of every stripe. Anyone curious about the origins and future of one of the Western world's most celebrated holidays will find something of interest in this provocative book.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0879758481\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0879758481.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Flynn, Tom\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
