‘Christmas Traditions in Boston’ revisits the memories of the past and brings together the shared tradition of how Bostonians celebrated the holiday season. Referred to as the “Balzac of Boston History” by the Boston Globe, Anthony Mitchell Sammarco is a noted historian and author of over seventy books on the history and development of Boston, and he lectures widely on the history and development of his native city. In this book ‘Christmas Traditions in Boston’, Anthony Sammarco outlines the celebration (or lack thereof) of Christmas in the first two centuries after the city was settled in 1630.
