Chrismas Father Executed  
Manuprāt, vienkāršs un jauks Levi-Strosa tekstiņš par Ziemassvētkiem no antropologa skatupunkta: Christmas Father Executed. Gadījums, kas lika Levi-Strosam pievērsties svētku fenomenam notika 1951.g. francijā un bija aprakstīts šādi: "On Sunday at three o'clock in the afternoon, the unfortunate fellow with the white beard, scapegoated like so many innocents before him, was executed by his accusers. They set fire to his beard and he vanished into smoke."
