The book explores how the image of the loving nuclear family around the Christmas tree served as a symbol of national unity for Germans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It delves into the origins of German Christmas traditions, blending pagan rituals, Christian celebrations, and cultural customs. Joe Perry argues that these festivities were not just about unity but also a platform for contesting core values such as faith, family, civic responsibility, and national identity, reflecting the complexities of German society during this period.
