Book Description:
The outbreak of war in 1939 saw the disappearance of many traditional British celebrations. Summer holidays became a thing of the past and Easter all but disappeared as chocolate and even real eggs went on the ration . In spite of this, the nation remained determined to celebrate Christmas as a time of family and community; a time when war could be set aside, if only for a day. Drawing upon personal recollections, contemporary Mass Observation reports, newspaper articles and advertisements, personal and archive photographs, Mike Brown and Carol Harris look at each wartime Christmas on the British Home Front, from 1939 to 1944. Life in Britain changed dramatically as the war progressed; the annual celebration of Christmas provides fascinating yearly snapshots , illuminating the changes over six years of conflict.
