Susan,

I just ordered and received a couple of weeks ago Gale Research's holiday
books, one is something like _Holidays and Folklore_, another is _American
Holidays_, another _International Holidays_, and one smaller one I can't
remember exactly, _America Celebrates_ (?) but it, too, was about holidays.
All were about $90 each except for the last one and it was paper back.  I
was amazed at the information in those volumes. (Those may not be the
exact titles, but they are close.)

You could probably combine holidays found in those books with information
from a current Almanac and have pretty good information.
