We are currently in this book prepping for our Christmas Special episode!

A perfect book for the history lover in your life is Stephen Nissenbaum’s "The Battle for Christmas: A Cultural History of America’s Most Cherished Holiday."

In this fascinating work, which was a 1997 Pulitzer Prize finalist, Nissenbaum rediscovers Christmas’s origins and shows how it was transformed during the nineteenth century into a festival of domesticity and consumerism. "The Battle for Christmas" captures the glorious strangeness of the past even as it helps us better understand our present.

Nissenbaum's name will be familiar to those with an interest in the Salem witch trials, as he is the co-author of "Salem Possessed: The Social Origins of Witchcraft." This is one of our favorite works about the Salem trials and is an important contribution to our understanding of the witchcraft panic.

"The Battle for Christmas" is available through our bookstore and on our website!

"There's this wrong belief that the body parts of persons with albinism can provide some form of good luck, some kind of fortune or good luck or money, make you wealthy."

"My name is Paul Laird. I'm a professor emeritus of musicology at the University of Kansas. . . I've worked extensively on the music and works of Stephen Schwartz. Two, I wrote two books about it. One of them was on Wicked and the other was on Schwartz's other works with a tiny little chapter on Wicked, referring them to the larger study. I've interviewed Stephen Schwartz a number of times, and I've done a great deal of other publishing on other aspects of musical theater."

"I was given just reams of material on the writing of Wicked, so it turned into a single book. It was called Wicked: A Musical Biography. It came out in 2011 from Ramon and Littlefield. And, three years later, I published a book on the musical theater of Stephen Schwartz. These were based upon extensive interviews with Schwartz and people that he worked with, various collaborators. In reference to Wicked, I also spoke to Winnie Holzman, the woman who wrote the, book of Wicked. I spoke to Stephen Ramos, who was the music supervisor. I spoke to William David Brohn, who was the, orchestrator, along with a few other people." Paul Laird https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ldIphab4S6MBEFmFt9oUF?si=9agECnVuTZWNqrAyTtgi_Q

"People are using the body parts of people with albinism to perform ritual and that is causing mayhem or causing people with albinism to lose their lives, because of other people beliefs. People believe that they will use our body parts to create riches and wealth. And how can you use the life of a human being to, for your own selfish gain just because you believe that those parts will give you wealth? That's witchcraft. That's harmful practices."
