"Christmas in America is a family album of America's holiday season photographed by one hundred of the nation's foremost photo-journalists. From Thanksgiving to Epiphany, they prepare for, celebrate, survive and clean up after Christmas. One hundred and fifty thousand shots later, they came back with a visual record which is as diverse as the American people, as joyous as the season and as warm and intimate as a family album should be. In Christmas in America, you will climb into the rafter of New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral with Life magazine photographer Michael Melford for a bird's-eye view of Midnight Mass; march with Pittsburgh's Melissa Farlow in a spirited, small-town Christmas parade; travel with Joe Rossi through the breathtaking winter landscapes of the Northern Plains; join National Geographic photographer David Alan Harvey as he captures the joy of a six-year-old who's just discovered a train set under the Christmas tree. Christmas in America is brought to you by the photographers and editors of the bestselling Day in the Life series of books. You will be guided through Christmas in America by special maps indicating where each photograph was taken." -- excerpt from the inner front jacket flap.
