Customer Reviews

Xmas magic

Even if you're not particularly sentimental about Christmas, the images and recollections of the authors are a delightful experience. The photos and graphics are charming and magical, obviously done by people who truely love the Christmas season. Anyone can appreciate the vintage flavor of this little gem.

Great Memories

This book brings back so many great memories of Christmas and decorating the tree. It was so much fun reading and looking through every page for ornaments that we might have had on our trees over the years and seeing the many different kinds of ornaments. It is a book that I will spend much time reading and viewing for many, many years.

Childhood Memories

The perfect gift for bringing back all those childhood memories. Any babyboomer rejoice! You will find this book filled with beautful pictures of those ornaments not only found on your own childhood tree, but perhaps your grandparents as well. As a child I remember the importance each Christmas season of unpacking those precious ornaments and hoping not to find one broken. I no longer have any those ornaments but I will always have the memories of such ornaments inside this wonderful little book. The pictures are just beautiful!

A Wonderful Ornament Collector's Dream!

The photography of ornaments and holiday graphics are spectacular. The stories are very touching and will keep you reading for more. I plan to share the beauty of this book as gifts this season.

But the delight of this book does not stop with the visual appeal. The authors combine the pictorial beauty of this book with their quick wit and sentimental charm. The stories they share will make you laugh and cry. It is absolutely delightful. The perfect holiday treat!
