Customer Reviews

A must own, must share, one of the greatest Christmas Books.

This book covers everything; such as the history of the poinsetta, mistletoe, candy canes, etc. Also, eloquent Christmas poems and sayings, with heavy doses of Old World charm. It includes projects, Christmas Carols, prayers, etc. It truely depicts the 'true meanings of Christmas.' I am astounded that no one has written a review of this book. I have also become aware that it isn't a well known book. Surely, this book is destined to become a classic! For Children to adult.
