Christmas in Indiana is inextricably linked with the Muff family.
It is a story written by Harper Hale Muff when he was serving in Korea. Christmas in Indiana chronicles the activities and the traditions by the Muff family during the great Depression in the 1930’s. The story is about a child’s gradual understanding of what Christmas is all about. It is also about the child’s growing sense of bliss and awe at the meaning of Christmas. The narrative is on a very moving and folksy plane. The story is now a classic and much can be known about the Christmas traditions, the way men and women dressed for the festival, the special dinner for Christmas, children’s clothing, and the types of cars the people used.
Christmas in Indiana has another important attribute, the “Christmas Story”. It is particularly about nine year old Ralphie Parker who desperately wants to own a genuine Red Ryder air rifle, complete with shockproof compass and a sundial. It basically chronicles what was to be a pre-teen youngster in Indiana before World War II.
Christmas in Indiana is simply not only what have been mentioned above. There are lots of well-decorated houses and churches, exchange of gifts and feasting. Stay connected to
