"Mr. Brunner meanders pleasantly through the many manifestations of
the tradition over the centuries: trees hung with baked goods and
fruits; trees hung with toys and ornaments; grand trees standing in
the stately homes of the bourgeoisie; scrubby little pines dangling
from the rafters of peasant huts; the Rockefeller Center tree; the
Charlie Brown tree." -Eric Felten, The Wall Street Journal -- Eric
Felten * The Wall Street Journal *
"A short and entertaining new history." -Michael Tortorello, The
New York Times' "Home" section -- Michael Tortorello * The New York
Times *
