Christmas in the Heartland

Christmas in the Heartland is a heartwarming and often humorous holiday memoir from comedian and storyteller Dan Hughes. A self-professed Christmas historian, he shares with us stories of his holiday upbringing in the Midwest and how it shaped his formative and adult years while imparting little known details about the holiday itself and its observances. Did you know the celebration of Christmas was at one time outlawed here in this country. It's true. If you have ever wondered why we put up evergreen trees in our living rooms during December or where Santa Claus really comes from then read on. If you are looking for a feel-good book to bring in the holiday spirit, then Christmas in the Heartland was written for you.
