The Christmas List
Photography by David Graham
hardcover, 96 pages ($12.95)
Graham’s kitschy-cool photos may
get top billing, but the star of this whimsical stroll down Santa Claus lane is
the roll-out of numbers that tell the stats of the season—the odds of a white
Christmas in Burlington, Vt. (63%), percentage of Americans who wait until
after Jan. 1 to turn off their decorative lights (54%), the number of times per
minute that Visa cards are swiped in the United States between Thanksgiving and
Christmas (5,340) and dozens of other amusing, informative or just plain odd
numeric facts associated with the holly-jolly holiday.
