The New Model: Resetting Christmas 2021

Prior to the First Industrial Revolution, misrule, wassailing, mumming and Christmas caroling were the mostly rural traditions of the Christmas season. It was a time of blowing off steam, when the poor claimed the right to march into the houses of the wealthy land owners, enter their halls, and receive gifts of food and drink.

In the early part of the 19th century, three men of the American Aristocracy set out to modify behavior and the misrule of the Christmas season. They changed the way we have celebrated Christmas for the last 190 years.

Today, in the age of COVID we are once again looking at an attempt by the ruling class to modify and control social behavior.

In this updated re-release of Resetting Christmas (Resetting Christmas 2021), book of ours examines the way Christmas was celebrated before and into the 19th Century, how Christmas celebrations were changed by the bourgeoise after the First Industrial Revolution and how the billionaire-ruling class are forcing bigger societal changes in how we live, celebrate and socialize in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The New Model: Resetting Christmas 2021is based on the book The Battle for Christmas, A Social And Cultural History Of Our Most Cherished Holiday by Stephen Nissenbaum.
