Some of the introduction – At Christmas, more than at any other time of year, nostalgia rules human hearts. This age-old season of rejoicing, essentially a festive time for children, is also the one great occasion of the year when adults return to the realm of childhood. Often, this return is merely a fleeting glance backward to those golden carefree years which can never be recaptured. In every corner of the world where Christmas is celebrated, families look forward to this festive season with keen delight as they unpack their treasured Christmas keepsakes and baubles to deck the family tree, to add luster to wreaths and garlands, and to bring sparkle and brightness to every part of the house. The individuality expressed in those bits and pieces which are home-made often provide the best part of Christmas…. The outside hard back has some wear from age and use; library marks, library tape residue, scruffs, smudges, marks, wear on corners and edges. Inside pages have some wear from age and use; library card and marks throughout book, yellowing, small marks. Please see all pictures! Wonderful story book! Cute illustrations!
