Synopsis

This unforgettable collection of vintage postcards, engravings, and entertaining lore celebrate the many ways of commemorating the Christmas holiday. More than one hundred fifty colorful illustrations, dating from the Victorian age through the early twentieth century, portray Christmas traditions of years gone by. Nostalgic images of angels, happy children, and Santa Claus are only some of the treasures selected from the more than thirteen hundred items in the authors personal collection of classic Christmas books and ephemera. Beautiful artwork, the majority of which originally appeared on postcards from across the United States and Europe, recalls the wholesome holidays of simpler times. The author also includes the fascinating variations of merrymaking, feasting, and traditions practiced by families around the world.
