The Christmas List

The Christmas List

Editorial Reviews Book Description Forget visions of sugarplums and turkeys with trimmings. In this strange, surreal collection of full-color images, acclaimed photographer David Graham shows how Americans really experience Christmas - complete with tacky blinking lights, demented decorations, and the mess in the living room after all the presents are opened. Each offbeat image is accompanied by a quirky and unusual fact about Christmas; readers will learn that 28 percent of Americans admit to "regifting" their presents, that 22 million turkeys are consumed every year on December 25, and much more. The Christmas List is a hilarious, fresh look at classic American traditions. About the Author David Graham works regularly for magazines such as The New York Times Magazine , Time , Newsweek , Fortune , and Forbes . His photographs are included in the collections of New York's Museum of Modern Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He lives in Newtown, Pennsylvania.
